Thank you Antonio, now everyone will blame me! 😛

Antonio, you at the one that has endured,
You are the one that has perservered,
And because of your determination,
you have more than earned your position on the forum.
Thank you for being stubborn! 😉
Because now, we possess some of your knowledge.

Plastering bucket easy to clean, even if you forgot to do it in advance 🙂

If when u say plastering bucket u mean a flex tub I can't get on with them I don't think u can beat a 25L paint buck for slow set and 10L for rapid set

Best way with buckets is to remove any major amount in the bottom, then let it set and knock it out next day.
I've learnt quite a few bits on here!

Go to your local caf or chinese, and ask for the tubs that the mayo etc comes in, great for grout mixing.

I clean my bucket and tools between every mix with a old dustpan and brush brush just like plasterers and that way u don't have to mess about knocking them out I usually have a bucket till my mixer wears it paper thin then it go's to old bucket dump in the sky

Best thing I have learnt which has saved me time and money is when and how to say "no", and also how to stand my ground when it comes to doing a job MY way.
