I didn't touch solid plastering for the first two years. The only plaster I knew of was white.
Everything we did was restoration of fibrous stuff. I wish I could go back and stick to that.
I've made gargoyles for royalty from a silicone mould of the original that I took down by hand, soaked and scraped 200 years of paint off it.
When you tell someone you're a plasterer they think of some scruffy c**t in trackies skimming Mrs Jones spare room.

All I do is Mrs Jones work, that's where the money is.
My point is there is a skill to our craft and if you can't do it all then you shouldn't be called a plasterer. Plasterers now a days are just skimmers in my book.
Nothing wrong with that if that's all you want or need to know how to do. You can make plenty of ones doing that.
But to be a plasterer, in my opinion is to be a master in fibrous and solid.
This is what I think the original point @The Hobo is trying to make. He's asking who is a proper time served spread

I was in a+e this week, a chippy came in after me with a 1st fix nail in his ass.
He was sat on a joist and his pal shot a nail with an air nail gun through the timber. Went in so deep they couldn't see the head
