Stockport, come on Flynny keep up :RpS_biggrin:
Im picking up sheffield but could be stockport coz there are a lot of thick ***** in stockport and if he is, i know exactly which 4 day trainin place he went to.
My mixer has a 120mm paddle, I've been looking to upgrade to a refina MM30/2 which only has a 160mm paddle, will 40mm really make a difference?
Marshall, would you put sand & cement over hardwall? what are your views on this please
My missus says YES!
oh hi i can hardly plaster let alone mix the stuff and now i want to buy the biggest bestest mixer on the market:RpS_sneaky::RpS_lol:
I can plaster and I can mix. I'm not the only one who has had problems with multi finish.
but I hardly see why what mixer I buy is anything to do with you.
Marshall has got to be a wind up ffs. There's no way someone would put up with this amount of stick and hang around. Its got to be someone under a different alias who is laughing his bastad b*llocks off!!!!
Just to show he can plaster Marshall sent me this today.

It is not a wind up, I'm hanging around and putting up with all the stick in the hope that I will get some helpful advice.
there are other people on here also asking for advice, and they get it. when I ask for advice, I'm told I don't know what I am doing, which is the reason I need to ask how to do something. this isn't the case at all.
there might be a few plasterers who think they know everything, but none of them do. which is why we all need a bit of help and advice from time to time.
Marshall, you are a sign of the times and plasterings doomed future. We're doomed! Doomed i tells ya.
It sounds to me like plastering was doomed long before I came along.
the tutors on the course I took were quick to point that out. 30 or so newly qualified plasterers every 6 months leaving college to look for work, and that's just at the college I went to.
"Qualified" is debatable but out there looking for work definately. Why do so many want to do this job anyway??? When i started this job had a lot going for it. It was a reputable trade and plasterers where in demand so the money was decent. It's the complete opposite now!
So many people want to do this job because it can pay well if you are good enough and you can work inside where it's dry all year long.
you could qualify as a brick layer and only be able to work outside when it's dry.
I will admit that I have seen so many people walk out of college with a plastering qualification and instantly think they are plasterers. this is not the case and not the kind of trap that I fell in to. I just haven't worked with that many plasterers since I left college, I have mainly worked alone.
