I’m just intrigued what extra prep you would have me do on a job for the sake of 2kg but if you are just flapping your gums and giving it the big one then that’s ok there are quite a few on this forum at the moment that do not like having there posts queried.

Do it right, or let someone else do it wrong

Couldn't have answered it any better, let someone else stick there neck out. If your busy enough and don't need it then let someone else take the risk.

Not what i was saying or meaning, your just picking what i wrote to the inth degree, at what weight limit would you deem it acceptable then, if 2 kilo's is ok why not push it to 4 kilo's or 10 kilo's, there is a limit for a reason. Sure i understand you can get away with things but if something ever went wrong you wouldn't have a leg to stand on. To answer your question though, depends on the given job, the situation etc, remove plaster and overboard, stud then board, remove plaster and dot and dab, there are loads of options. As i said most of my customers are more than happy to have the extra prep done, if they are not then i don't really want to be working for people like that.

hahahhaaaha........think of how easy it was if it was not plastered!!!!........he spent money making a mess!

If i can chip in without being chewed up ... standards are a suggested limit that is deemed to be safe... as a tiler you have to take each job at face value and decide if you are willing to go say that extra 2kg...

Now on another note .. PB these days is a capable of holding more weight than currently suggested in BS and B/gypsum will probs be upping that limit with some luck .


So before knocking back a job , think!!!!


ok just my 2 penneth, will shut up now ..
