If the corners are dragging file a small radius on them.

Mine was for 6 weeks and it cost £2200. I didnt pay it was part of a redundency package. Best thing i ever did.

Used them today for the first time they were great. blody hard ceiling to do though ,boiling hot in the room its size was about 6 metres x 4metres going over artex. Stuff dried really quick had to throw fair bit of water on to close down.Turned out well though even got a £20 tip off customer...

Nice one Fred ,im the same as you and now im averaging about £600 pounds most weeks. Should have done it years ago.

Anyone use them as im thinking of getting some for large ceiling work.

The last big ceiling i did was onto new plasterboard, the next big one is on an emulsioned artex ceiling. Will the curing time be slower.

Sorry 4metres

Whats the largest area ceiling you can manage on your own with no labourer, Ive just done one 6 metres by 4mm and it was blody hard work.

4-1 MIX WITH CAP FULL OF FEB ,Leave scratch coat a couple of hours then apply finish coat,no need for battons.

Fred when u apply 3 coats do u let the first coat set then spread the other 2 coats as normal or do u apply the 3 coats in quick succession as u would in 2 coat spreads.
