After all these years I’ve always carried them the first way, as when I was younger carry 2. But after trying the other way, i actually think it’s easier ! Every days a school day. ( fully aware lots of comments will say I’ve been doing it like that for 700 years )

After 25 years in the game, I still find this oddly satisfying

Social media wouldn’t be what it is now without these sort of comments. Unfortunately these comments do put so many people off posting. Just rise above it. Some don’t like seeing their job done different way. That’s their problem not yours. If someone online wants to dig you out in comments when they can only see a picture or video then again , it says a lot more about them than it does you. Keep posting spreads.

First day of the holidays means only one thing for me, I get a labourer for the day. He’s making progress everytime he comes in. Not sure he enjoys it😂 but he knows it’s only going to help him in the future if he learns the trade. Proud of you son

Absolutely love using this to flatten. If the plaster picks up then it can’t be used but if we’re it’s lovey. IMO.

I took the Mrs to watch spurs away at AC Milan, done the stadium tour and thought l…. What better way to ask my mrs to tie my shoe.

Never even heard of sponging until I joined social media. Now I’m told I’m a cowboy if I don’t. Unreal !! So I’ve been sponging all week to put it to the test. So far, I can see why some like it but for me I think I’m going to stick with what I know and what I was taught. IMO.

I don’t know why this stresses me out so much. Is it just me?

Roses are red,
Plaster is smooth,
The Gingerspread Man’s
Got serious groove.

From walls to ceilings,
Flat, clean and grand,
No cracks left showing
When spread by his hand.

Valentine’s love
Sets strong like a plan,
Solid and lasting…
Just like the Gingerspread Man.

Plaster infact acts as a non- Newtonian fluid. A non-Newtonian fluid is one whose thickness is (viscosity) changes when force is applied — instead of staying constant like water. 

Examples you already know:
• Ketchup → gets runnier when shaken
• Toothpaste → stays put until you squeeze
• Paint → spreads when brushed

These all change flow behaviour under stress.

Every day is a school day

Once you’ve seen the first coat go on, I didn’t think anyone would want to see the second coat. But according to the comments, I have to show you my second coat otherwise they don’t believe you 🤷🏼‍♂️ ivemeee one coated anything. Not even cupboards.
