At last. I now know where I've been going wrong.

I now know where I've been going wrong.

Exactly,,,, you've been taking the plaster off of the HAWK,, instead of the FLOAT. You'd think,, that as a teacher, he would know the name of the tools he was using wouldn't ya. .

True - I've been using the hawk (at 80 degrees) and not the end of the float to spread the plaster onto the walls . I've also spread it to more than approx 0.5mm thickness.

Finally, when the plaster has completely set and dried, I haven't been tring to flatten it with the float!!

Oh, and I keep on using stainless floats and not a rusty piece of s**t

Cheers Roughcaster, enjoyed that.



Out of interest (open to anyone), was that plasterboard adhesive he was working with???

Or is it 1-coat?? I've not used 1-coat before.

Of course either theory above assumes his multi-finish hadn't gone so out of date it lost its colour!

well found RC, he's my favourite on youtube! was only showing him to someone last week, haven't laughed so much in ages!!!

Slight change of direction....
Does anyone remember DIY Reg from Kenny Everett?

I know Kenny no longer with us, but I would have thoroughly enjoyed Reg's attempt also!

(I'm assuming he never did it.
Guess he usually preferred the power tools for maximum blood!)
