Tbh gibbo...I haven't nor anyone I've worked with over certainly the latter yrs used 1...

Though when I started it was the norm white buckets,builders buckets and spotboard....

I think it changed when it went from spreads always having a labourer to mix up with to not being able to price them in...

Then also bigger buckets were available commercially...and here we are...

I could think of nothing worse now than stopped starting to mix up, for me its mix the lot up and get the lot on...

But hey I also 1 coat and still get paid everyday so what the foooook do I know!!! Lol
 
I didn't really sleep last night. Was thinking what can I use the bucket for. After about 4 hours it f**k**g hit me a f**k**g cup holder. Why didn't I think of this b4. Your missing a selling point onestopshop.

Me and me mate use two spotboards in the same room one on stilts the other mixes 4 collomix buckets of gear up about 5 bags we lay on then mix 2 to lay down gears always fresh
 
Ive never used the larger buckets to be honest I don't see the point. Usually i will mix 2 or 3 30 litres buckets at the same time instead and I can then move them about to were I am working easier. Sometimes the weight of the mix will cause the handle to cracl on cheap ones but you can put an offcut of garden hose on them instead and its comfier

Heart attack is just a normal day in the world of plastering
 
Good luck scooping it out most brickys i know who worked in germany came back with wrist problems
 
Its easier from bucket. Get one scoop and the only time you will use trowel is when you reach the bottom and that will be no more than 3 trowels.
 
I just find it easier to knock up and roll the gear round the room so it's always next to me.
A long handle bucket scoop hangs on the edge of the tub no bending apart the final scrape 1 scoop =full hawk no mooching backwards and forwards to the board ideal in big rooms and long corridors.

also hse are now getting s**t hot on dust suppression which is complete bollox but to keep on the right side of the building site police its easier to knock up in a different room then wheel the gear to the work area.

Like the wheels dude, I suppose I could make a trolley a little taller, and use the scoop, then boom! Nil bendyarse (Latin )

Good point. I have to buy a bucket trowel every 6 months or so. Got it down to £29 +p&p. I am a tight fisted c**t though...
 
so on to this week's top tip.
get a sturdy plastic bucket and a small grinder/multi tool. Mark the bucket into 4 quarters then cut it now buy/steal a long broom handle an cut that into quarters now lay your bucket over so it's rocking slightly on the rounded part.
And now screw it through the triangle shaped part to the bit of stolen broom handle.
boom four new bucket scoops (y)
