Question about plastering

[StarDebut]

Hi I am a new member,

If I were to think correctly, it would be okay to render over Breeze Block (with quick dry cement to save time of the cemenet mixer) and then to skim Hardwall and then two coats of Gypsum MFinish.

instead of...
the more conventional method of putting up plasterboard and skimming.

This is only because my friend wants to retain space by decreasing the thickness of his new walls.

Thanks. Open for discussion

The bit about quick drying cement makes no sense? to save what with the cement mixer? if you put rapid set in the mixer you definitly wouldn't save it, and your walls would go off while you were working, so not quite sure what the **** your talking abaaaaat.

 

[steve1903]

why not just plaster omto the blocks????

 

[henry]

If you want internal render to set quick add multi to the mix this will also set your skim off quick aswell

 

[bubbles65]

If you want him to remain a friend get a PLASTERER to do it because from what you have written you don't know what you're doing.:RpS_thumbup:

 

[StarDebut]

Can I do this? He doesnt really want plasterboard cus of the extra space between the batons, but I wasn't quite sure of what was the best materials to use.

 

[scotsplasterer]

thats alot of work, just go staight on the blocks with a straightening plaster, run over with a darby or straightedge, float up with nails in your float to leave a key then skim over once set, sounds easy, mabey better pay a pro 25m2, then no worries :RpS_wink:

 

[StarDebut]

so you mean leave out the cement and just hardwall then multi?

 

[scotsplasterer]

yea you can use harwall if you want, or browning.

 

[StarDebut]

I might be better off using browning tbfh.

 

[spunky]

Just skim it

 

[StarDebut]

no

 

[CKJ]

Pva, scrim all the mortar joints and skim. Its best to mix your skimming with a stick in a washing up bowl

 

[nickelarse]

make sure you use half board finsih, half multi on blocks. and add a handfull of cement to the mix to help it bond. and i wouldnt mix in a washing up bowl personally, i find cake mix bowls much easier. u can use a cake whisk in them and it doesnt splash too much.

If the room is so tight you cant get a 9.5mm board and 10mm dab on it then it aint worth plastering.So just s**t on wall and spread it with your little finger.

 

[kurt]

Ya crazy... id use me small tool.

 

[lucius]

If using a cake whisk be sure to add cream of tarter as well.

 

[nickelarse]

and food dye. then u dont have to paint it

 

[StarDebut]

well yeah i was also thinking of drylining, so 9.5mm board and 10mm might be an option. But yer technically hardwall is better for this than browning. idk i'll wait and see.

 

[flynnyman]

use 12.5 stop messin about ffs.

 

[kebab king]

Thats wrong advise Flynny, your wasting a whole 3mm there.

 

[flynnyman]

get smaller furniture

 

[beddy]

using 12.5mm over 9.5mm will work out cheaper because you'll have to buy less carpet

 

[antoni]

Just skim it

y bother just paint it

 

[Freerider]

Youll struggle to get 9.5mm boards flat, not rigid enough, and for the sake of 5mm over the size of the room...

 

[spunky]

He could have a door lining tight to the wall I think people are joking my love when they say he'll struggle to fit the carpet or furniture

 

[Freerider]

Well done Sherlock, your good at this!

 

[spunky]

Thanks you rubbish s**t eating *******

 

[Freerider]

blah blah blah ******* blah

 

[spunky]

Blah blah of course you can get a 9.5mm board flat you numpty use extra dabs blah blah

 

[bodplasterer]

Tight coat of bonding and skim it :RpS_thumbup:

 

[rockhardsolidplastering]

Youll struggle to get 9.5mm boards flat, not rigid enough, and for the sake of 5mm over the size of the room...

2.5mm x 4 = 10mm
