I do live on the Moray Firth (Lossiemouth) young Roy, but the whale was not stranded near us, although my wife was on the beach the other day.

Perhaps he got the off cuts out of a local skip or had them left over from the cons up the road! Unless length dictates or your stuck for it, joining skim beads has got to be the ultimate penny pinch & speaks volumes.In a conny there are only usually 4 skim beads involved they are a pound each and matching them up on a 3 foot section is embarising, i ve never seen it in my life, ive matched them up (2.4 TO 2.4) in the past, but this is penny pinching and bad. Like i said in a previous post this guy is not capable of putting it right, It is easier to do it the first time round, a lot harder to put right.
I fully agree; I have & do join on occasion if I'm stuck or have somehow managed to get the numbers wrong but I would never do it just to use up odd lengths or unless I had to; I’ve nearly always got a few spare angle & stop beads in the back of the truck anyway.Sometimes Richard when you are workin' out in the "sticks", and you have to join beads because it is not cost effective to get to a suppliers it has to be done . And I think anyone who is training to be a plasterer or has learned his trade should make sure he can fit two pieces of bead together so it is not obvious to the customer or anyone else. Because one day there will become a situation where you will have to do it..
