i found wickes scrim the best..... ive use that everbuild silver scrim and it dont stick... just luck of the draw i bet.
 
I can't remember the name on the scrim I use, it doesn't stick well enough to scrim up the day before you skim but at £1.34 a roll I can put up with that 8)
 
;D ;D Plastering wouldnt be plastering without spreads moaning, my old man moaned about every thing and he would send him self into a right rage, it used to make me laugh ;D
 
3. why that when ever i mix up there is always a bag of multi on the mixer cable. :D :D :D >:(
it just needs a quick skim/light skim :D :D >:(
yeah i will get all the paper off and wen u get there ters loads still on the wall >:(
yeah will get the room cleared out,wen u get there everythings still in the same place >:(
skim in the eye
clummsly putting my feet on edge of crate while reaching for the ceiling line n it fipping up sending me flying or smashing me in the shin
bags of skim spliting in the van
 
trying to find work round christmas... plastering being probably the messiest of jobs (at least in the customers eyes) no one wants multi on the tree...
off on site tomorrow.. welding believe it or not.. plenty of that sh'te around this time of year..
just hope the firms happy to let me have the three days off next week for a board and skim job i got booked already..
f'ck santa claus, he's a pain in the arse... :-\
 
Talkin about annoying scrim , I remember when we used the old hessian scrim years ago it was always a nightmare sticking it into the curves on hipped ceilings, one time I was laying on at one end of the curve and my mate was laying on at the other end of the curve which was about 20 ft wide and my trowel caught the scrim and it took of at high speed and unraveled round my mates head like a feckin turbin , it was hilarious :D :D
 
went 2 price a job the other day & and was told by the lady that u can plaster the wall with the radiator on. because the other plaster said so. now thats annoying. ahhhhh

also i forgot about the trowel sticking to the wall. thats quite a good 1
 
i like it when you go over unset gypbond and you take a nice neat line off when you polish it ;D...........sky you can plaster upto rads mate just grind it in to the existing if youre gypbonding the walls pva a couple of foot into the rads
 
"wish i met you last week ive been lookin for a plasterer for ages but ive had it done" or "yeh i used to do a bit of plastering myself" or "i bet your good at making cakes" or cleaning out boxes and a big bit falls out or you scrape a big line through it and when the bottom of your twitcher digs in grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
 
i bet your good at icing cakes! thats a big cake mixer! i tried it once and ended up with more on the floor than the wall! and you have to act like you've never heard it before, just let me get on with my job will you?!
 
Them Farty little bits (Usually above doors on landings) that always seem to be 1/16" smaller than your bloody trowel, doesn't seem to matter what size trowel you use there is always 1 there to get on yer threppeny's.
Also when you put chocolate blocks on the wires in plug sockets only to find they won't go far enough back into the back box so you can't trowel over them any way, so it was pointless puttin them on in the first place......
 
When you accidently kick over the cleaning bucket at the end of the day over the landing carpet!!! :o Done once, learnt first thing to go outside is the dirty bucket at the end of the day! ;D
 
what about when you have to skim a kitchen ceiling and the effing sparky cuts all the holes for the downlights out all 24 of them, when two days earlier you told him "don't cut the holes out" c##t! then when trowelling up you drag a small bit of setting multi from one of the cut outs. make me seeth!
 
you get a call to skim a kitchen the day after the new kitchen has been fitted the same with a bathroom or you get in the van to leave and notice your lab hasnt cleaned the grid.
 
When joiners fit there finishings before iv skimed you have to tape up and piss about with little strips smaller than my trowel
 
that customer hu lets there crazy dog run riot wen ur tring to get ur tools in and out u have to keep fighting the bloody thing with ur bucket trowell so he dont run out the door..customer is jus sat on sofa festering in cigaretts and coffee and doesnt even tell the damm dog to get outa the way
 
we do regular work at a blokes house and his dog keeps coming up to you with a twig and expects you to throw it, i've been temped to cover it in PVA first!!!
