Seen a couple of lads say it,but don’t see how? Thought I was missing a trick?tried accelerator in the mix but not to that extent!! Unless standards start slipping!!
can anyone tell me how someone can finish a gauge in 1 hour??? I’ve been plastering for 14 years,I’ll bang a 3 to 4 bag gauge on to a top standard,but it’s taking me 2 hours!! Most of our work is high end work but would be handy to know how to knock it out in a third of the time & keep the...
Eyup lads,I asked all the same questions a few weeks ago,stuck at it & now I use the speedskim all the way through. Lay on 1st coat & straighten with 1200,top it off & drop down to 600 to the end.only thing I find is round the beads needs tweaking with plastic refina trowel.fit it on pole for...
As I recall the cracks were really bad & im presuming it’s the movement caused by the timber expanding and contracting with moisture from the plaster?? Don’t think scrum alone would sort it mate??
Hope that wasn’t monkey steak Algeeman!!! Another question while we’re all here....is there any way of beading up timber corners without danger of cracking?? I left them on once,beaded,scrimmed & they still cracked so since then I’ve taken timber off & bonded corners prior to beading.someone...
My reckoning was that I could get on it quicker with finish? I’ve got a garage to board & skim Monday & the walls are really pi$$€d up & will probably need double boarding,bigger dabs than usual & I really need to get it skimmed out the same day,
Orate gentlemen,does anyone put halftime in adhesive?we mixing 4/5 bag mixes & wondered how quickly it would go off & can you control the speeding up process by adding more/less additive? Fanks lads

I’m workin local tmorra so don’t recon I’ll go that far!!!! Seriously,really wanted to get it working right cos it takes all the graft out of it & seampt like I’d tried it all ways with the sf blade,never thought to get the plastic brother out of the van!!! I’m 3 back operations & a rotator op...
You could always overboard with 9mm board & leave a shadow gap up to new coving. We’ve done that before & painted up it looked mint.takes a bit longer to board but cheaper than ripping down coving,damaging fresh plaster on walls then reinstalling coving.hope u sort it
