My pisss around with forming a corner when they are allready made and can be stuck on, they are easier to clean and can go up in bad weather.
9 times outa 10 when you give a price for the quoins the customer nearly falls over. It doesnt matter if you're quoins are so good it can make their hair grow back they just dont wanna pay you you're day rate to do it.
You could be rendering a house averaging 400 a day ( with my machine) and when you charge a day a corner its a big no no .. so you have to work for less money doing quoin work on that job
And they are always a massive pain in the arse to do and can get damaged during topcoating, dashing, roughcasting whatever.
Cmon Flinny you know i make sense on this.

Make your hair grow back you say hmmmmmmmm lol it does make sense but what kind of price are these quoins off the shelf plus they can also get damaged and stain. plus you would still want a day a corner for fixing these.
Cmon sprayit you know i make sense on this.
No Flinny my point was not to get involved with the quoins at all because i could be earning better money. As for stains damage etc who cares a fuk if you didnt put them up and didnt stain them.
I would charge one day to install a corner plus materials. These quoins cost about 250 quid a corner and look more like a sandstone than a plasterer could ever imitate for 250 buckles.
If you just love being on the job and have a pride in showing of your beautiful work then furry muff , but i hate twattish jobs like that

at the end of the day quoins are marmite. From a taste point of view the plastered one's are on nearly all privately owned council houses in swansea and the stick on ones look just that...stick on. Quoins can look ok but unless it's a bank refurb or listed building, stay away.
