Peaps- A while ago you made a post which you finished up with 'The end'
I don't know why you deleted it, as it was an excelent suggestion.Perhaps it was because you said you could not remember where we first crossed.......
Admin deleted it. And no I can't, my life has more going on than YOU.
dmplastering made a helpful post with a suggestion about taping polythene on , which you thanked him for. I would have thought that was the time for raising any concerns you had about it !
I didn't have any, the guy asking for advice put up no other option but for someone to make a suggestion by thinking out of the box, DM made the call and in this situation it was sound.
You also thanked him for suggesting
Yes I did.
"just tape right into the corner then once plaster is hard, cut into the angle with a stanley. This should give you a good edge. Failing this, have you considered coving??"
Which I presume you recomnend to the OP?
I wouldn't no.
I must say that when I read
"In all my 29 years of plastering I've NEVER had to use tape to mask up. I've NEVER known it to be used either."
I do realise you just may not have been on a job where it was required , (due to need to protect paint, wallpaper or untreated timber). I presume you have never had to float and set across oak door linings for example.
Yes and NEVER taped up.
I consider 'Plastering' as a trade to be a bit more encompassing than just skimming ceilings .
I do understand that you only speak from your own experience but I would have thought you could have been a little more open minded about some suggestions which are based on a wider range of experiences in the trade.
I don't consider mechanical spraying part of the trade or a skill.
Can you say from where you are that you can 100% guarantee that the paint will be fine , without looking at the job?
I can guarantee that I won't be throwing gear all over the walls and he won't have to repaint it.
