    6mm boards

    Been using them today. How flexible are they meant to be? They don't want to bend and snap a lot. We're boarding a barrel ceiling that curves through 90 degrees over 1200mm.

    Bonding and skim

    When mixing bonding and skim for going over artex, how much bonding to skim do you add to cover a heavy artex say 8mm? Is 50/50 too much? then a normal skim mix for 2nd coat? Will the top coat bubble like when skimming bonding to early?

    @Danny when I view the news website on my phone it comes up as a mobile website. The forum however is the same as on my lap top just smaller. Is this to do with the app? The news site is much easier to use on my phone than the forum.

    Installing a new DPC

    Does everyone do this their self's or get a firm in to do it for them? Say your looking at a over-skim job and find a tide mark around the room. Do you try to sort it your self or tell the client to get a firm in to take a look/quote?

    Bond-it coverage???

    As above please, did a search but couldn't find anything useful. I have always used PVA or SBR but as the client is insisting on supplying the materials I thought I would add a tub to the list.

    Damp section.

    I was just thinking it might be an idea for a mod or Danny to move the sticky's about damp proofing and tanking from the information and guides section, to the new section. Just a thought.

    cutting insulated boards

    seen some guys dabbing insulated boards the other day on a small site and they were cutting them with a cheap £40 battery circular saw. Good idea i thought if you get a load to do, dont think they would last long though. Any one else done this?
