Turn down site work regularly old man. They let andy f**k**g G on there so don’t give me that s**t lol

Which site are you on?

They have been products in recent years launch, then fail. That tape really don't know, but I can staple quicker than that, and then less hassle removing staples If out of line. Uni finish I liked, had 1 fail with it, compensated. I see bq launch quick dry bonding, I think it will fail. Too expensive, also I can set bonding in any time I want. Bq no tape filler tried, it failed as many said on this forum. I'm hearing it is to be discontinued. Point to this post is manufacturers don't ask us guys what we would like. I have also had easifill blow off painted surfaces. Only use toupret now expensive.confidence in some of these products are low even if you follow spec, which I read and follow.

I don’t work on site anymore, to much health and safety plus s**t little cards you need which mean f**k all, I let my card run out which I got on grandfather rights it cost sixty quid for a silly health and safety course, a day off for the course and letters from firms that had used my exceptional skills, it didn't matter that I had plastered the stairwell in the controll tower at the Channel Tunnel for the dubious pleasure of which I had to go on a two day health and safety course. That’s enough griping for today

I never renewed mine, like you I think it’s just b*ll***s and Persimmon and the like can stick their sites up their chester I’ve thought like this since the early nineties

It was a way of getting the card because you had been a plasterer for years, the days when people realised you didn’t need qualifications to do the job you say you can, if you couldn’t they just flicked you off after an hour or so, happy times

To right, the 714 worked just fine, to get a 714 I had to provide my C&G papers and at least 3 years work history which I could prove through my apprenticeship.

I like bonding 60. We all know how to flash set normal bonding but that’s only good/safe for patching imo. Know where you are with 60 and can cover artex lids with it then skim straight away etc.

Hydrated lime, a scraper full in say 7.5ltrs before adding bonding can set it in 20mins or so the more the quicker, adjust depending on bucket size and how quick you can get it on.

any body remember the general strike in the 70s when national front boys where throwing half bricks at u if worked on site

I'm like yourself a artex specialist. Lol. It takes a while to get used to, but perserver and you can bang thick patterns bonded quickly. You will never need bonding 60. 90% of artex ceilings I use bonding first rather than pissing about with finish plaster that loads do.

Haha . My preferred method is bit of bonding n skim to cover it. Let it go in then fresh mix skim very wet n put 2 really tight coats on one after the other. Pulls in quick too n cheaper than using pure bonding.

I do sometimes use bonding only to cover it all depends . Deffo gonna try lime tho

People lose their s**t if there's a bus/train strike f**k knows how they would survive constant power cuts tv going off air at random amd the three day week. An enduring image fom that time was workers huddled round brazier's.
