Lets see you at work

[pftmonojetman]

It’s good stuff, we use tonnes of it. Very fatty & right price too, the job we’re on now we’ve mixed our own stuff with quicklime and let it stand for a few weeks.

We’re getting nearly 8 tonne of mortar from 1 tonne of quicklime so the savings are almost half

You do know that you're supposed to do the gloss work before the emulsion?

For once your wrong fatha

No I'm not.
Emulsion easily wipes off of gloss but gloss doesn't off of emulsion.
My old granddad was a 'proper' decorator and knew what he was talking about. Don't listen to these modern toshers as my granddad called them.

But gloss covers emulsion. So if your cutting ins bang on best way

yes you are.

emulsion ceilings and walls. Doesn’t matter if get it on wood work.

Then do all wood work and cut in.

wood paint can take days to dry. So do it last. Can cut straight into emulsion

Yeah that's how you do it, I'm telling you the correct way.

See yer point ,only first coat dad ,but never done it that way

 

[lurpak]

Yeah that's how you do it, I'm telling you the correct way.

you’re wrong old man you’re wrong finally

 

[Stevieo]

Yeah that's how you do it, I'm telling you the correct way.

Nope. Emulsion first

Easier to get a good line with gloss too so seal, paint emulsion not worrying too much about hitting the wood and then gloss in your line.

 

[lurpak]

Oh Andrew.

 

[tapit]

I always do first gloss coat 2 emulsion then final gloss/cutting but essexandy is correct.

 

[lurpak]

Fool

 

[Ritch]

Yeah that's how you do it, I'm telling you the correct way.

How do u know if your grandads way was correct. I’m no painter but sounds daft as fook doing emulsion last .you’d get spray everywhere off the roller

You're exactly the type of tosher my granddad was talking about.

It was all brushed in grandad day.
Tools and methods evolve.

Because he was a proper time served decorator, from a time when trades knew and generally did things by the correct method. You know when plasterers two coated skim because it was the right way and used screeds when floating. Stuff like that.

I reckon grandad was winding you up so you'd think painting was nails if gave it a go.

Bluto.

All this talk of emulsion before gloss, gloss first, emulsion first blah blah yawn..... the question here is, is that neat emulsion straight over plaster?
