Socket beads

Pointless, who ever looks behind a faceplate? And as for keeping boxes clean just stick a couple of bits of tape inside them over the cable, that's what we do when floating.

nobody really but if you are going to tape up the cables slapping a cardboard box in is way easier :D
 
Maybe wasn't a good idea to post a picture of sockets most plasterers get upset seeing them tbh
 
Always just stuffed bit of the plaster bag in it job done.
And anything sticking out of it obviously needs cutting off ,
I don't stack my plaster behind the door and get out of the window so why should anyone else be a thoughtless cant!!!!!!

no mate !! you forget to make sure you cut the marked ones, you know the ones the sparks put their "x" symbols on with their cutters, then once cut, mark the others with your snips !!!
i told them to tuck the cables in !!
 
There are good sparks out there , I had to let this one drink from the sacred tpf mug after I called him out to my kitchen refit for no reason it turned out :(

Know this is probably a stupid question but where do get them from. Did the online search thing and didn't show, not sure if your allowed to put up link or pm if possible. Any help thanks in advance.
Before anyone says they are waste of. Or don't bother, I have a fussy builder who will do his load over these and think there the best thing ever invented.. he will pick up the cost .. happy days. Cheers fellow plastering technicians .

Lol name three good ideas you have ever had?
 
They are a complete waste of time and money I just don't get it, the socket would look exactly the same without one.
