[stuart23]

Get It Plastered | Roughcasting & Rendering, Plasterer in Ayrshire and Glasgow

 

[johniosaif]

Nice if it works but if its the same price as before ,it will die a death

 

[CTPlastering]

Still cant see how it will work , have they actually tested it this time or is this the testing ? Surely they should get some plasterers behind them , and get bg to give people free plastering done with a tester product ? Why should we use it on our customers ? How they rang you today they could be ringing people asking if they need plastering work done etc and they may be available to use this new test product blah blahh

 

[Arti]

Its been tested...............how well, is yet to be decided

 

[Olican]

The chap from BG told me they have 700 test panels on various surfaces with zero fails. Like arti mentioned; there is a compo package in place. Time will tell

 

[jesssop]

what was the price of it last time round?

What background did you use it on Stuart?

What background did you use it on Stuart?

It was a ceiling that had been Ames taped really badly and painted with a Matt paint. It hung around just like multi, going to use rest of bags on something with a bit more suction.

Be good to see what it's like on old dry plaster or a silk or gloss painted ceiling.

On the stuff that was sent through to me it did state that it's not to be used on self cleaning paint(whatever the fk that is) and I think it said dusty surfaces as well.

Is gloss self cleaning? I've been painting for years and never heard of self cleaning.

 

[Arti]

Is self cleaning not kitchen paint which has a plastic feel?

 

[raggles]

I thought so called self cleaning paint was for exterior use ?
