Beddy It's just as quick with a podger once you get the hang it, plasterers were just as quick in the 70s as they are now.and we never had spats, speedskims etc just a 11" trowels. All trades have it so easy nowdays this is why plastering and other trades have become less skillful. Fecking kids you dont know your born :RpS_lol: thats what they use to say to me 40 yrs ago nowt changes then.

 

[beddy]

I can see it now. 40years time...

In my day we had to use a big machine that mixed AND sprayed the plaster. If we were really poor we had an 1800w mixer that we actually had to hold while it mixed. Apparently my great uncle andy and great grandad henry had to mix with a bit of wood. And in them days the bags were 100 weight!

You're not wrong Henry, when I started they told me I had it easy because I had a cement mixer rather than having to mix render and screed up by hand.

 

[Freerider]

I got two options when my Mixer packs up..

1 - get the little paddle out and stick it in my cordless
2 - go ******* home

**** podgers

Steve mega mixer ,stilts are a great bit of kit and I would not be with out them but I would not have a problem with a podger. But let's look at how our trade is so fecked up.
1, there is no longer proper Apprenticeships, and what I mean by that is say from the age of 16 to 21 you was on a fixed
amount of money and never in this time did you earn same wage as the trades man. Now at the age of say 19 I would have been in a gang with a senior spread and classed as been of a 2-1 gang. And for me this was a privledge to have and I knew i would never be on the same pay as the leading hand. So I come to the point that a gaffer always had room
to give him a proper living wage knowing the young lads would always be well under what a spread was getting and like me could put on as much as the spread so in doing this was making the gaffer profit margins that bit better for him. And I also think we had a more equal standard of skill amongst plasterers example we all could float and set and screed floors were as today you have tackers, skimmers, etc not one man able to under take all forms of plastering hence we are been paid shite prices . I could go on about 6 wks spreads but will say nowt on this.

Im a tad sceptical n all to be honest..'mixings' one thing, but getting out ALL the lumps is another

Using just a stick is a complete nightmare but using the stick to start with and finishing with a plodger is very quick and easy and you don't end up with any more lumps than you do with a mixer. It's also easier for a new lab to get the right consistency using a stick as they can actually feel how stiff/wet the gear is.
