Gypsum plaster can suck it higher than that pal..

Damp can also be capillary also.

Surely creating a 2"cavity will allow you to straighten the wall buddy?

When i converted my singles skin garage the spec from building control was. 3x2 stud work to create a 2" cavity 3" kingspan in between studs Breathable membrane on the back of the stud Visqueen vapour barrier on the front of the stud.

My way of tackling it would be to seal the walls with a 3-1 sbr, once dry apply a 1-1 pva and skim whilst tacky.. Had 2 failures with grit and was shocked at how easy i scraped the whole ceiling off.

Yep when i started at college we did plumb, dot and screed. No better way of floating a flat wall.

Been using the make good bond recently and it is really nice! 1st lot was crap but its been proper improved... Can skim over in 2 hours..

Thats the spec of the manufacturer.

Yes you can re-skim it. Any decorating done in the 1st 12 months must be classed as temporary. It can be painted with a breathable paint after 6 weeks and papered after 12 months as the wall has to be allowed to dry out thoroughly.

Never understand why most firms only patch the plaster! You cannot wallpaper for 12 month's a dpc so the joint will look bloody awful painted..

I personally like mine slightly narrower.. I find it less strain in the wrist..

Never thought of that buddy..

I agree fella, but on occasion I've had an issue with skim sliding on the paint...

Cementone/bostick

It was me fella...

I've had 2 with it... It was shocking how easy i removed the whole ceiling...

None at all, i tried it years ago and it was crap.. This was much better, was rock hard in 2 hours...

My local travis been told April till they get some.. Used the make good stuff reluctantly told and loved it! Was smoother than bg and was rock hard in 2 hours so skimmed it...

pva for me, had 2 ceilings delaminate off grit...

P1ss do a think coating one that us good to use but is double the price of the cheaper ones...

Looks like lime wash over gypsum skim, cannot see the backing plaster! You will have to knock it down to brick to she what it is.

If you don't want a banana trowel get a nela premium..

How far does the clean air zone spread jess?

Or capillary?

Leigh pal.. Only 15 mins down the lancs...

Id do the same... Then go for a pint, lots of nice bars and restaurants in monton....

Yep... I turn them away, i have plenty of other jobs to do so why struggle on these....

Sbr the full thing the day before, do a coat of 50-50pva and skim whilst tacky..

Ive got an ankle strap for my fitbit... Very accurate as if you wear it on your wrist it measures your arm movements and not your steps... I found if i was carrying stuff it did register....

If you don't want a banana trowel get a nela premium they are flat as... Just bought a carbon one...

Pamties are very good, oh but they in Tyldesley not leigh...

Waterproof is a bold statement... I tend to use the phrase water resistant.....

Seen this the other day saying barbers can make £300 a day... I can see them doing it on a Saturday but are you telling me they have a full shop during the day mid-week?? .... I live in a small town which is full of barbers ( mainly turks) and there is massive competition....

Deal.... Lol

I agree fella, but my ox is about 7 years old and still going strong... Not bad for £30...

I have same stapler but will not go into hard walls...

Buy an ox (none flexi) £20 cheaper than marshalltown, they are nicely worn in..

Utd Utd Utd......... Lol

I use this also buddy... Awesome stuff, i use it to stick boards on lintels also...

Nice job buddy...

If its high suction why would you use grit?

Yep bugs me also, can you keep the door shut so the cat doesn't get out....... Er shut it into another room also hate it when they have a dog and let it bark all day...

Why dont you just set up for yourself if you have the skills and knowledge buddy?

Ive had 2 failures with it also...

Can paint on neat pva and skim in 30 mins.... Or 24hrs with grit.....

I prefer the sf...

So do i... Lol...

A coat of 1-1sbr will control any suction, put a strong coat of pva on that and skim when tacky...

Grit is for low suction, not high suction...

Yes.. Will stop mould growth...
