tiger stripes

[thebigfella]

had a spot of bother on the job im on at the minute skimmed most of the rooms and theyve had the sprayes in but noticed on the bottom of a couple of walls theres them dreaded stripes, the walls seemed prefect but im proper pissed off that this has happened the customer hasnt noticed them but i have feel like pva-ing the wall and redoing it

 

[nickelarse]

ok

 

[Freerider]

Dont worry about it mate, it just means you're s**t n its about time you packed up your tools and ******* killed yaself.

 

[Freerider]

Nah really, we all get it from time to time, it happens!

 

[Casper]

Never had it. I'm ultra paranoid about my skimming. lol

 

[Nisus]

Easi fill it :RpS_biggrin:

 

[FreeD]

I know the feeling mate...think mine was the result of wet troweling to early. As said we all get it time to time, get the easy fill out and make your excuses...what I usually say is the plaster has dragged and it probably won't show up, but i'll fill it just in case, better to do that then let them find out when they paint it.

BIGGEST RERASON PEOPLE GET THEM IS LAYING DOWN (2ND COATING)oops with same guage

 

[beddy]

hows the taxi'ing rock?

 

[Bad Marky]

We all get them mate, as long as there flat and you can't feel them don't worry about it, it looks worse while its drying out,
Don't know if it could be over whisking, over skimmed a lounge last week with board finish, didn't get any nice finish, over skimmed a couple of walls Saturday with multi and got a couple, left them flat so once it drys out you can't see them.

 

[S a plastering]

How does overmixing do it please explain

 

[Bad Marky]

Go on Gypsums website, It says that over mixing leads to deterioration in workability and creates difficulty in achieving a flat finish.

 

[spunky]

Over mixing makes it go off quicker it's got nothing to do with tiger stripes

 

[S a plastering]

Exactly nowt to do with overmixing

 

[kemp]

Easi fill it :RpS_biggrin:

ya cant beat a bit of Easi fill it covers a multitude of sins lol

 

[s.p.t plastering]

I very rarely get them, lol.........I reckon it's the worst thing!...They look hideous on a wall with sun on, or up lighters...

 

[bodplasterer]

Get your first coat on ultra thin that seem to do the trick for me rarely get them myself.

 

[rockhardsolidplastering]

hows the taxi'ing rock?

[beader]

try mixing with a stick n wheel bet you wont over mix any more.

Complete and utter Bollox

 

[spunky]

if you mix a bucket of plaster for 5 mins ish it will flash set on you

 

[lucius]

Would that be because to much air is introduced:RpS_thumbup: Lol

 

[beddy]

Gotta disagree spunk. My useless **** of a lab still takes over 5mins to mix a bucket and it doesn't flash set.

 

[spunky]

im right and youre both wrong ......er so **** off :RpS_lol:

 

[lucius]

Ime never wrong :flapper:
