Perhaps I should ebay that nearly full bag of bonding I have in the shed, see what it will fetch! :-) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

For small areas you just about have enough time to mix, whack in, flatten and polish, provided you don't hang about, before it sets. B-) -- Cheers Dave. |

I made sure I was stocked with plaster, both bondage and finish. Of course I can't actually go where it is to get it! |

Has anyone encountered a shortage of plaster in the sheds? Was chatting to my local builder's merchant today and he said his order was unlikely to be fulfilled until June. Had no problems getting 22 sheets of plasterboard - both he and Wickes had hundreds in stock - not sure whether it might've been already in place prior to lockdown though. |
