Thanks pal
 
Floated and set
Now to do the rest of the house, thanks for all the support guys
I know, I know you'll all rip me up now, I went back for that 6th day on the course for all the good stuff, that's what made the difference that one extra day.
All jokes and piss taking aside, I don't know how you guys do it everyday, hats off to you all.
If you've got nothing nice to say then expect to get abused in return.

Hi all
New to this forum and only been plastering since Nov 2020 after doing a course.
I will be doing some sand and cement render to some internal brick walls. I'll SBR the walls and then get a 4:1 mix on with plasticiser.
What I want to know is can I do one coat of sand and cement on the internal walls then scratch it and go over it with mutifinish?

When scratching it should I create the long wavy horizontal lines or use a float with some screws in it to make a side way's figure of 8 to scratch it (like I have done before with hardwall) ?

I ask as on our course we did a scratch coat of S&C and then a top coat which we used a float to make smooth. We then put multifinish over the top and I'm not sure if that was so that we can be shown how to do 2 coats of S&C render and do multifinish on top as extra practice or if that's the way to do it on internal walls.

I feel I can do one coat of S&C, rule it off flat, then scratch it and then go over it with multifinish a week later, would this be right?

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks for reading.

Hey mate. Ive been looking into doing a course with Goldtrowel too. Just wanted to ask how it was?

I have spent so long trying to get with an actual plasterer to learn but it seems none of the plasterers in London want to take anyone on so going on a course might be a better idea and ive heard Goldtrowel are quite good.

How was it?

@Raf121 You've got it wrong mate, and should have studied the course notes/made your own notes as you went. I did exactly the same course as you, and had the same problem - but re-read the notes many times, researched, listened, learnt, and hopefully have never asked for help, and don't kick off.

You could have read around the threads for info, got to understand the vibe and more sides to the situation, then if necessary asked a simple question. Instead you walked into a new pub, gave a long intro to show how much you already think you know then ask a really basic question, and bawl out everybody when they turn round and ask who the fck are you stranger?

Andy and a few others challenged me about my intentions when I joined - which I answered honestly, without getting riled like you or expecting a free ride. Andy accepted that and actually withdrew his challenge.

I was under no illusions about the Gold Trowel course or it's shortcomings. They are numerous because it is for weekend heroes not for persons wanting to go into the trade full time. I knew why I was doing it, to have a bit of knowledge/practice about how to patch up around fireplaces where the work was so piddly no self respecting spread would want it.

I'm a lab on here, it's a great crack, I learn huge amounts about all sorts of stuff in life. I hopefully contribute where I do have some knowledge - but am happy to be corrected. The guys n gals have been great.

Hello. I see that you attended Goldtrowel. Im thinking of going onto the nvq course they have going on. Ill be honest. Ive really tried to get in with an actual plasterer/firm but they just arent taking me on. So im thinking to take the course now. And then maybe i can go back to these plastering firms with something to offer. How was the course u did with Goldtrowel?

Been a while and I was only on the one week heroes course - basically we didn't do anything with a bead or narrow widths. But we did do S&c, skim, ceilings, sockets and chases, plaster coving, mixes, and a good session on planning and pricing work.
There were a lot of NVQ's working around us and others doing specialist stuff like monocouche, so we could see and hear lots aswell, and talk with the guys on the other courses. I enjoyed it, the trainers know their stuff, decent prices on new gear if you needed or wanted it for after the course., everything provided on the course itself. I think how much you get to do on each section dpends on the folk on the course - so if we had all been a bit quicker we might have done beads.
For me it was worth the money, I learnt loads and got a lot more confidence. I still only do patching, but that was my intention pre-course, not full-time spread. I do like S&C and lime, don't know why.
Getting a place with a firm, even with an NVQ will be tough, but maybe you can ask/see if they are more willing if you come back with the NVQ - you might need to start doing small domestics and build up. One thing the course didn't cover was tarps tapes and domestic setting up. It did quickly cover going self employed. Hope this helps, Good Luck!
