yep.. so they must reckon its ok to scrim with hey... bad crack, I tape and fill, if it cracks through the finish then... its got some decent movement... assuming if it PB, their secure..

I used to feel guilty as fook if any cracks appeared until I realised that 2 or 3 mm of finish wasn't quite as strong as I'd thought. When we start doing what the Germans do and leave a building standing for a year before it's plastered, then I'll worry about cracks.

20 odd years ago I was working on a maintenance contract on RAF Stafford. Any new build we did they insisted on the walls having a coat of bonding, Browning on top and Carlite finish as final coat.
We had to dute scrim all internal corners on every coat.
Madness.

i still demonstrate with fibre tape, but not a much skill required, do any contracts specify jute/hession scrim for new builds or renovation work these days -
i remember when i started most contracts specified jute/hessian, rather than that tissue paper -cotton scrim :RpS_biggrin:

Very correct, jute/hessian was an excellent way to learn the correct 2 coat thickness, no cheating ect, guaranteed 2 coat thickness every time.
On ceilings we'd tack on with a clout then run the lenth of jute tack opposite end till board joints covered then pre skim n 1st coat. Happy days!

sometimes I would put some jute scrim on a ceiling walking down the scaffold as you do, then I would turn round and the bloody stuff would be wrapped round my face/head, oh how I laughed with the rest of them as I pulled the scrim off my face/head,

 

[irish_spread]

It was sheite

 

[Whatsayyou]

i can remember using hessian for scrimming on skeelings,, dubbing out to create radius with board finish, then give it ten minutes the whole fooking lot would hit the floor like a shotgun going off!!...happy days

Did you ever plaster your tie into the ceiling Hector?
