Been skimming over artex all week and i was taught to use the trowel float trowel process for going over artex. Just wondered if anyone else did this??

I would mix bonding with finish 50/50 let that take up then skim, lay it in then trowel trowel.

ricky tomlinson was a plasterer i think he was jailed for 6 months. the building industry had been split in two the self employed on the lump and the trade union dayworkers. a building strike was hopeless it would take 6 months before anyone would take any notice. house building was run on the lump, large construction in london you had to have a union card to get any work there. at the time there was a building boom and you could negotiate a lot better rates then the union could offer.

only once we where on a housing site in clacton and pickets where in the area so the site closed for a couple of days. no problems as clacton is the end of the road
