[Casper]

Help me oot here lads.... What's the best technique?

 

[spunky]

If the reveals and wall are square aren't those bullnose angle trowels any good

[Mickyboy]

What is the approx radius of the bull nose ?

 

[DannyMac]

Used one here on hemp putty, it's quite unworkable stuff but it did a half decent job.

can you plumb a battern either side, make a sliding mould and run it in

 

[Casper]

These are big radius bull noses in a listed building. Various sizes and lengths.

 

[spread1970]

sounds like you may need to make a profile or two.

 

[Casper]

The building is over 100 years old. IF i had a time machine, i'd go back and watch the spreads working :RpS_laugh:

Why would you need a mould?

 

[theblones]

They used to run bullnoses in plaster of paris and it would be finished work, The mould would incorporate a nib either side to skim into flush. Bit like a corner bead

 

[mark ross]

You talkng about staff beads. They where set up and run in first.

Is it back to brick or reskim mate

 

[Rhys]

I've used a couple of things. My dad fabricated a tool for running them in s&c and for skimming I just use a piece of plastic. Been a long time since I've done any though.

Aye mate, they are all reskims.

 

[spread1970]

thought(in queens english)that an arris had straight curved sides as opposed to being bullnossed?

 

[malc]

we would finish the set off with a piece of polythene folded in half so as not to use the rough edge,

 

[spread1970]

meant sharp curved edge,as opposed to bullnose...c*nt:rolleyes)

[spread1970]

[Casper]

Well, thats how i do it. With a poly bag.

 

[Casper]

Followed by a haggis and some tatties

Aye IF you can find a haggis at this time of year. They take to the high ground in winter...

 

[NPS]

fookers to shoot!! they come out low,fast and very close never any time to shoulder the gun and im w@nk at shooting from the hip

 

[Casper]

Beddy is oot all the time looking to bag a haggis with his new rifle. Pity nobody's told him haggis are native to the scottish highlands :RpS_biggrin:

 

[Fatarm]

Haggis have one leg shorter than the other apparently ????

 

[Casper]

Aye thats true fatarm. Hence the reason everyone orders the left leg at a burns supper.

 

[Fatarm]

Cheers Casper,I was told they had one leg shorter to make it easier runnin. round Scottish mountains such as Ben lomond, Ben nevis etc..:-0

 

[Casper]

Aye Fatarm, i've walked Bens lomond and nevis many times over the years and seen many haggis running wild. A bit on the plump side due to the tourists feeding them sarnies and biccies.
