Most plumbers (including me) like to do a bit of plastering, it stems from removing back boilers and plastering up the hole that's been left.
Here's a bit of a catch plastering question.
Applying the finish coat to plaster which needs to be a precise thickness (too much and it won't trowel up, too thin and you won't get a good finish on it).
Here's the question "What precise instrument does a plasterer use to measure this exactly right amount of finish to apply to the base coat"?
PS My plumbing teacher told me this over 40 years ago!
PPS It is a proper question!

Yes you right on that! i remember as a YTS, watching the plumbers brickup and plaster after installing a backboiler, after removing old back coal kettles, bit of vermiculite etc! Then last job fit the fire on friday,(which hopefully hid the plastering😂) was really hard/varied graft crowsfoot, and Ive got no clue as to your question aswell

I was never shown whatever tip you was tappy, It was just something that came with experiance, I bit like flagging, you get it by eye to near enough, then using a wet brush splash water on and go over it with a shiny trowel, the trouble is, plumbers building tools ( trowel, hawk,float etc) are never kept clean, they're always full of cement plaster,concrete. so we can't get, ( and don't need ) a mirror finish, If i was to have a stab at it, I'd guess placing a coin on the wall and apply the finish coat to cover it,  |

Don't worry none of the plumbing class of 1975 got it either. Imagine the groans in class though when the teacher revealed the precise instrument that the plasterer uses to measure how thick that finish coat of plaster needs to be is :- His eye!!!  Attachment Deleted |

I wonder what todays HEATAS regulations would say to that! |

Can't say that I blame you for not wanting one of them ruddy things, but hey you actually won a prize on the tom plum forum - fact!  . Those floats look a good buy and they've got some unloaded ones too for £3.49 (think I'll order some at that price). |

Very little Plastering done in Scotland now, we drywall, tape & fill. It’s a much better job.
An old Plasterer once told me that Plaster was never smooth, shine a light across Plaster & it’ll be like the surface of the moon!!
Its certainly not a Craft like Plumbing.

I've got to agree Dick, there's no technoligy behind spreading muck on a wall, you can train a chimp in half an hour to do it, Its at best a semi skilled bingo players hobby between games, smiley-whacky086 fan shit
