I win whoop whoop can't believe it took three pages must try harder

 

[flynnyman]

No am enjoying it. We all know what Plasterman looks like. We want a picture of you flynnyman. So we can do an episode of the gloves are off

Can we do it with like a siloutte of me with a window as the backdrop?

@Danny why will s&c suck in??
If you have waterproofer in it and it's well mixed and plasticity it skims fine. Been skimming it for 30 yrs and never pva'd it

If the sand and cement is fresh then fair enough but if it's been up a while... ie the skim has blown off then that's what I was getting at

Now I saw someone mentioned d&d and cold spots..... . Flynny, how did they go around the problem on that job? And what do you think is the best way to d&d on bare concrete wall/column? Ta

They haven't got around the problem they do what a lot of builders do and a few on here they just wish it away lol you can't dab onto cold walls it will always show through and this job they have used the boards with the polystyrene on the back and it's still showing through.

 

[flynnyman]

Not me

That's why I use speedskim

Gets it flat and smooth straight away and let it set with minimum water

The right way

More bullshit claims about the speedskim lol

 

[Danny]

As I said all valid points... would be a very place if we all agreed...

I also think uni has its place.... don't think it can ever replace multi but I don't think that is the plan

Let's say you have to stick boards, because there is not enough space for metal, in my case , on site. How would you do it?

Why isnt there enough space?

You may have to go back to that thing they done years ago called rendering

 

[vfr12]

Why isnt there enough space?

The external wall / Window meets the concrete column, which is out and there is 10-12mm deflection. Basically the wall/board has to go/continue over the column.

Not allowed

 

[flynnyman]

Not allowed

Explain about cold spots and make them aware then do what they want

I will narrow the options for you. Let's say you have to compromise and chose the less evil way to stick that board

Looks and sounds like parge coat it won't stop the cold I don't think.

Ok here is the funny think
We started a new job last week and I have addressed the problem and in my head was this thread uni--plasterman-flynnyman - dot and dab-etc. He said what do you recon and I suggested we use uni for dot and dab. What's uni? Universal product for plastering and dot and dab. Ok, check downstairs I think we have some. No we don't I already did. Ok , remind me later to order some.

Really? You recommended dabbing the wall with unifinish? Don't ask @theplasterman he will just say yes all day long as long as your using it lol

Good enough for me! But not for them.Eventualy I did it as I have done it before

I was laughing all day , and to avoid dealing with a whole palet I told him you can't order few bags it's palet of 100 only. I will do it somehow don't worry.

You have to be flexible man, not runner ffs

 

[vfr12]

Here is how I did it- gyproc sealant in sausages. What do you think about this?

 

[Fatarm]

Two fights on the same bill.....fuckinn magic

Probably better than drywall adhesive

 

[Vincey]

 

[flynnyman]

And there's me feeling sorry for RWF's missus lol

 

[vfr12]

Probably better than drywall adhesive

Way,way better and has proved for a year now. The first time I met the strength of that s**t was when had to move a shaft wall with fecking 12mm, drawing changed, and couldn't separate the board from the metal-it came into pieces and where we had to stick board over board - impossible ! The s**t turns into stone! On internal walls I have no problem to do the dot and dab. Honestly had no problems and spots, maybe because the internal temperature or just lucky !
Here is one of the columns, I have to take pictures for proof, you know how is it.
I don't use that much stuff for the board , but here we had to make sure is extremely strong.Hope that helps someone if he needs to go around a problem like this.
