Dutch Pinns

[RJM lime]

Any one used these pins for holding up you straight edge they go stright in to the mortar and hold it great. Worked rendering in australia on the year thing and used them there.
and they used a lary to mix with any one seen one of those around.

 

[plaster man]

[pftmonojetman]

[S a plastering]

[beddy]

[beddy]

[Chris W]

[henry]

they look like something you put a string line on.

 

[Chris W]

look a bit like line pines with a handle?
do you smack em it at the side of a batten and the 'handle' clamps the batten?
or do you just smack em in a mortar joint and the 'handle' makes em quick release? and is what makes em different from line pins?

 

[beddy]

so how do they hold an edge up?

 

[Chris W]

hard edging, battens for screeds, curve formers etc...

 

[owls]

never hear of owt lke it

 

[bubbles65]

Imagine yer mate is holding a straight edge on a corner for you. He drops down dead - like they do - so you need something to replace his thumbs........dutch pins! :RpS_thumbsup:

 

[henry]

[bubbles65]

[lucius]

Ive been using them since 1978 when i first came across them in Holland i honestly cant believe some of you have never heard of the its a a standard part of kit for a plasterer especialy if you are doing sand and cement, larries are used widely in Eastern and Southern Europe.
