Battons???

[John Benton]

ive got the bare cheek to go into b and q...i pick up a level and walk to the timber section...split open the kiln dried batons packs of 8...and check them for straightness...i take the straight ones and leave the bent ones and leave the level...

I use my local timber merchant and get planed lengths with no knots in, they tend to be pretty good. Normally get a 5m cut it to 3 and 2m and that does me one or two jobs. Much cheaper than BnQ

I use some ali screed rules if theres a long run to wall but I have various lengths though...

Thats because you are a plasterer we use anything we are used to i sposee your Customers are lucky you weren't a chef lol

Most window companies do boxed aluminium in various lengths and often coated for ease of cleaning.

what do you use john? like many of the guys on here you have loads of experience! As said before, i use timber then adjust with wedges and laser on my 1st row of tiles but i think i could save time by investing in a more presice method!

I normally start from floor with cut tiles, wedge them up and crack on, i find it quicker and easier

I typically use a timber batton and nail gun it on, thats plenty to start on!

i use battens but i waste time fixing them to the wall, i should be looking for a quicker way but i don't fancy cutting in the first row and working off them.

^^ Nail gun them (;

i've already got too many tools to carry around, and i can't see a nail gun paying for itself
