Just gave my opinion, like everyone else. There is no way in hell I would teach a client whilst plastering myself. It's hard enough teaching an apprentice never mind a client. If they have questions or need advice then I'd happily give them some but teaching them, no thanks! That's what courses...

Yes buti would wire brush it aswellmto make sure it isn't the same sandy texture as second coat. If its sound then rush it all down with water the remove the dust from the surface

How it the rest of the base? Is it all affected and how ago did it get rendered and at what time of the year? Reagrdless, you are going to have to hack off and get it redone

Yes, you should be ok but watch out for suction on these areas when you put your finish coat on

Yes. Bonding can be used on plasterboard but it is only used as a backing plaster prior to skimming. There is no need to use it unless you need to build up thickness

It will(probably) crack at that thickness

6mm is too thick for multi. Id give a coat of bonding about 4mm first then two coats.of multi. That should take you out about 6/7mm

Double post.

Ive never tried to ****** plaster and probably never will. Ive only done the opposite through dirty water. I know a few lads who went down the mine and the gympsum boys were talking about the possibilites of making and selling their own retarder in saches. Dont know how much truth is in it though

I bet it's no cheap

Yeah that will be more than enough. Just out of interest, what kind of chips are you using?

Yeah i know. Still dont know how some people get away with it.

It's not the plasterers job to strip the wallpaper off the wall unless he has quoted to do so. This still doesn't give them an excuse for doing so, he/they should have discussed this with you prior to plastering

Woman are always the same mate. Just think yourself lucky you don't have mine!

Make sure you scratch your first coat and make sure you keep your second coat in a couple mm to allow for chips to lie flush with existing.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, they will come out in time. If you are that bothered then Hoover the vents and the chips will clear out

It's not tonnes you need. Why can't you source them in 25kg bags? You would need no more than 6 bags if you are catching the chips. So 150kg

Agree with Roy. Give it a good 5-10(rough guess) sprays and hopefully the skim stays on for you. If not then at least it will be easier to come off this way

They've no chance, spurs are in that diddy cup now

For the record, it was me that called you a clown. But only because my last memory of you on here was your idiotic repetative posting on that night. Was rather irritating and you accused me of being an alter ego of peaps which was laughable.
