I’ve got a builder onto me asking for the same thing. I don’t want to get involved in the hassle

koster Nb1 with repair mortar plus fillets etc

A very likely cause. I was taking more in general terms.

Our office calls ahead and pays on card and I just collect

Really. They had 2.5k bags of carlite when I was in there. I saw a pic on Facebook or somewhere they had pallets and pallets of it towed up and what looked like some multi as well

Nope. Just turn up at the trade counter.

I’m not a proper spread.........tomorrow I’m applying a waterproofing system to a concrete pit, that will house a hydro pool in a large new build.

I’ve had it tear up a bit in odd patch’s not all over. I think it’s better trowelled up when it’s a set a bit more than you would normally do, with more water.

Walls and ceilings is an hour tops from Birmingham less if your south of the city center. Just pop down and grab some £11 a bag

Damp and damp proofing generally divides opinions. More photos will help but in short there are a few thing you can do yourself to help the situation. Make sure external ground levels are 150mm below internal floor level and well drained. Remove the skirting board and make sure the wall...

I was in there last week. You can walk in and pay at the counter and they bring the pallet to your van and you load up. Easy peesey. Or order and pay on the phone and collect.

What’s that finish called? Napped?

I don’t understand why Travis jewson’s etc haven’t jumped all over it. As far as I n ow it’s only walls and ceilings selling it I spoke to 2 Travis branches yesterday. 1 said call back in a month for skim!! (Castle donnington) The other said they have a pallet of multi coming week 27th but...

Link Removed Preston. In the north of England......... there’s other also in England

There’s carlite finish all over eBay already.

Just seen this on LinkedIn gotta make you smile......

Second set today with the red bag stuff I quite like it.

I thought P1SS was still waiting on a delivery?

Travis are all pre orders for a while now. I was told that Stamford Travis has 9 pallets already sold and allocated to customers. They haven’t even got the stock yet but it’s all pre sold. I can’t see stocks back to normal for a good while. People will be buying up 2-3 months worth of gear at...

I’m picking 8bags up tomorrow to try

So this carlite finish is the same ish? As multi but from Ireland? I spoke to walls and ceilings today and they have delivery tomorrow of carlite.

Ah the old sand debate. Here’s one for you all. Travis in Leicester, if you ask for plastering sand the yard staff will load you up with yellow building. If you question it your told it’s the same stuff. In fact they don’t stock plastering sand just two colours of building. Red and yellow...

I was taught to skim up and down first coat. Left and right second coat to help keep as flat as possible. I also trowel up in opposite directions.

You’ll get a 600 and 1200 for less than £100 so I would go with that. You will easy sell them on eBay if you don’t like them.

Tbf put an edge up any wall in any building and there are always bits that aren’t completely bang on. No ones perfect, just some are closer than others.

Try ruling your skim. Get a speed, spat eze skim what ever and have a blast. They aren’t mega money.

See it all the time in town.

Hahaha. Plasterer/multi trader. £31,874 with a van fuel card etc 26 days holiday. Sounds a decent gig.......

Anybody know anything about these? There advertising a job in my area and wondered?

I’m open to offers!!

For sale Old but had very little use, been a spare in the unit for years. I’ll add some more pics after I’ve given it a clean if there’s any interest. Collection Stratford-upon-Avon areas. Can meet half way etc. £60 Cheers

Brush hammer or needle gun as there sometimes called. Bottom line get the paint off

Only ever normal s+c. Weak mix and long drying times between coats. Most of the membrane manufacturers have specs for how they like it done.

No. This forum provides a wealth of knowledge to all that use it. Games, competitions, banter and a general place to moan about the trade and all that is s**t. The only waste of time is users asking the same old questions and moaning about the answers they get back. Not to mention discussing...

These are from wykamols membrane installation guide but it's all the same to me The main thing is getting it fixed properly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ian, I have know idea how late starters get on. Most plasterers will have started off labouring for £20-40 a day. Your going to struggle to find a plasterer that will pay you a decent wage and let you loose on his job so you can take his clients when your up to speed. Sent from my iPhone...
