depth bead

[nickelarse]

im sure i asked this ages ago, but cant remember the answer.

doing a bathroom soon back to brick with mp75. most of it is being tiled and i thought id try the depth beads that iv seen in a few youtube vids, just to see what they are like. obviously for the bits that are tiled it doesnt matter if the bead shows through, but with the few bits that are going to be painted, how do u stop the bead showing? or does the paint just cover them over afterwards?

cheers

 

[S a plastering]

ive used the ones from wickes once they are ok but i ruled off em then scrimmed over the bead then skimmed this was a bathroom aswell not sure about mp75 though mate

Why are you using beads?

 

[nickelarse]

Why are you using beads?

just fancied trying them. thought it might make my day a bit more exciting

and as im on my own, it will make the ruling a lot quicker when spraying.

i thought the wickes ones were for diy enthusiasts to use for skimming??? am i thinking about the same ones

 

[nickelarse]

lol. wickes sell em as part of there plastering method thing. sposed to set em on blocks, then render and rule off em then skim over. but seen a lot of vids of foreigners using them on mp75. once they are set up rulling is obviously really quick and easy. normally i just rule like any1 else but fancied trying them as im soraying on my own and the machine is downstairs, should save a lot of time. just fancied trying them

thought they were for skimming sorry. i wouldnt bother with mp75, just buy more tile adhesive and stick str8 to the bricks

 

[theblones]

they are a pain to set but do work well if you want to square a bathroom so the tiling can be spot on. wickes ones are flimsy

 

[nickelarse]

the main question is how do you cover them over? or does the paint hide them?

can you get better ones from anywhere?

 

[theblones]

mp75 will cover it, just like working to a bead

cheers

if you can float and skim no need to use them in my opinion sprayin or hand board.

 

[nickelarse]

yeah i agree mate. just the ruling is much quicker which makes spraying on your own a lot easier. just fancied trying them.

 

[nickelarse]

well used them the other day. made the ruling a fair bit quicker but they were a pain to set up. cant say id bother with them again
