Plaster, plaster no where to be seen
I have been ringing around to locate some board finish and all you get is a sharp intake of breath before you get a no with one merchant not having seen any since March. Jewsons have some but the nearest branch with stock is in Ripon N. Yorkshire. I got a bag of multi finish the other day, £12 and nearly had to pay for it with gold bars. How simple life was pre Covid - 19.

I wonder what is so special about plaster? Are there a lot of diy
plasterers? I tried it once and managed to plaster the floor and myself more than the wall I was trying to level off. Brian -- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

What about the Turkish stuff that is apparently available ?. There was an item on the Jeremy Vine show about 10 days on this topic. Stories of fights in the carparks outside Wickes and other places as people tried to buy up as much as they could just before lockdown. |
