I use RandJ, off the top of my head you get a box of 50 for around £25, not sure what brand they are but never had a problem with them.

Actually I just got a text from them. 1 hop up, 50 2.4 beads, 4 tubs of pva and 10 rolls of scrim 92.50 plus vat. Sounds a good deal to me

Totally agree...that's what I was saying reference buying unifinish....

I like to just buy at wickes opens @7 shuts late open weekends...what u pay is what you see no cloak and daggers shite

Always fresh gear, always well looked after, plenty of stock, no waiting for dicheads on for trucks etc...can get other bits and bobs whilst there....

Oh and they sell chocolate at counter and is next door to Macy D's...

Can't realy beat it tbh...

Granted could source beads and scrim bit cheaper...its good when you can use on line for beads if you have an incentive like wack do etc even if it works out same price but if you've got a trowel or something for free happy days...

I honestly don't know why any 1 man band bothers with builders merchants load of tossers I dispise em!!!!

 

[robbiboy1970]

I don't like the expamet I think they can be iconsistent and had hairline cracks appear in the past, prefer these thin coat beads.

Hairline cracks is nothing to do with the bead

Most likely wooden dowels on overskims and or 1 mix for same coats and to much water weakening the plaster

 

[brimplas1]

Expamet are like tin foil .... cheaply made.... The r and j ones are so much better and I am luck to live up north and there own van delivers to me and not a courier..
