I am patching in some holes where sparky has removed lights in ceiling and also where we've removed a wall, blue grit it up ready for skimming tomorrow. Nice easy day IMO.

What's everyone else on today?
 
sat on my compter messing around, going to build a fort out of cardboard boxes for my 3 year old then might take him to the zoo. I love getting rained off. got a couple of hundred metres of rendering to finish off, starting big internal job next week so grateful for a little downtime before that starts :RpS_thumbsup:
 
Just kidding am bored off my t*TS !! Peed off waiting for a roof to get finished so I can start to render the dormers and waiting for a customer to decide what colour Tyrolean they want !! Ffs (am not gunning it till gets warmer!!) And one job he wants starting asap has just said he'll get back to me!? Am guessing he's getting more quotes!? So sat at home with a brew typing this shite after giving that bloody Minh a telling off on other thread!! Gggrrrrrr lol :RpS_laugh:

Just got an inquiry about patching after a rewiring job by the sparky's, might go look at it today. Currently wanting for an insurance company to okay my price to tear out & replace a ceiling.

I've never had a problem with pva just heard different opinions on wether to let it dry or wait until it's tacky, haven't used pva for months now just use bluegrit. I think it does hold back a little bit.

Wow, we don't have aggregated bonding agents around here that I know of, sure like to see some on the market. But.... I'm thinking after reading up on the ingredients in Blue Grip and the ingredients in the bonding agents available here that I might play around with mixing together some acrylic finish with a fine aggregate and some Weld-Crete® Concrete Bonding Agent | Larsen Products and see what happens.

I think that I'd experiment in the shop not on a job. I really got interested when I looked up the info on the Blue Grip bonding agent. They claim to have a distributor in the US, but they are real stingy about letting anyone know who it is. What kind of business practice is that? We regularly used to use a witches brew of different mixes when I was younger, it seems that now days everything comes premixed.
