    I used Stanley blades all my life until someone handed me some Irwin snubnose blades to use. First thing I noticed was how rigid the blade is and secondly how long the cutting edge lasted. Verdict.. Irwin blades are a superior product.

    This video and advice is unbelievably poor esp considering you are supposed to be a training facility. I dread to see the standards and competence of your unlucky students. Firstly, the pva dilution and application was incorrect. The mix you used is too weak to be used alone, It is ok for a first coat but should be followed up with a stronger second coat. Finish plaster is not applied to a thickness of 5mm, it is applied in two coats at a thickness of 1mm each to achieve a total of 2mm. The second coat is not applied to the first coat "straight away" as such. It is done once the first coat has firmed up a bit. Timing is important and "straight away" is far too vague. If you try to apply the second coat whilst the plaster is too soft you wont build up a proper second coat. You missed out 2 steps out of troweling up the wall and your advice on how to make it smooth is simply "make sure you get it smooth" Lastly, the "finished, smooth wall" was neither finished or smooth and your reccomendtion regarding the retarder is misleading. You say that there is only 30 mins to start and complete the wall without this product which is total nonsense and seems like a ploy to scare people into buying the product. It takes between 90 - 120mins to complete skimming a wall (without retarder), with a retarder the time could be as long as 3 HOURS. The instructions on the back of the bag are more in depth than this pathetic video and if you are charging people to "teach" them this tripe you should be ashamed of yourselves.

    Mortar guns are very useful addition to the tool kit, this one is affordable and as good as you get for the money. As for using the tool and method (gun pointing) your presentation could focus on the type of mortar mix best for the tool, how to fill to tool effectively and finally some tips regards pointing. Your vids are all good fun but please keep your man off his knees it’s the worst position for working unless you’re asking for a raise of pay.

    No Tom, they are absolutely tiny. You do not feel, see or smell anything with asbestos fibres at all. It takes years for them to embed themselves in the lining of the lungs etc when, unfortunately, it is too late to do anything about it.

    I like the idea of the gun... using the roughneck one on a house but find the nut holding the base of the plunger comes loose and falls off... the gun is only a week old, well cared for, not abused, good results but why does the nut come loose, fall off and has me searching for it in the mortar mix still in the gun.... or worse in the bucket of mortar once I empty the contents of the gun out. Love to know why this problem occurs or is it a fault with the gun. Thinking of gluing the nut in place so it cannot work loose. any help appreciated as still a fair bit of pointing to do.

    Instead of masking tape, just apply the sealant then spray the area with soapy water. The seal and can then be tooled as shown in the vid, but it won't smear up the sides because it doesn't stick to soapy water.

    lmao a sharp chisel lol. I aplaud you for making a video to show others but you really have no idea. don't use washing up liquid it will break down the sealant. sizes go from 16mm to 32mm that's a cavity of between 6mm to 24mm I have run loads of tests sealants and even made my own hot melt machine to make sealed units. there's plenty more to write about but I'm sure it can wait.

    You pointed out that the body of the valve has an arrow on it, to indicated the direction of water flow through the valve. As each end of the valve appears to be a mirror image, and the cut-off ball revolves 360 degrees, how important is it to have the arrow and water flow correctly aligned? Would the valve still work correctly and without problems, if it was fitted the opposite way round ie. with the incoming water flowing in the opposite direction to the the arrow?

    Your video just saved me from flooding my bathroom! Thanks 👍👍 I've had to replace wall mounted bath shower mixer taps (seized on hot and full on!) and decided whilst about it to put isolator valves in to make life easier in future! (we've had to have the water turned off for 2 weeks, turning it on just to wash dishes or run the bath (flushing loo with jugs out of the bath! Been a nightmare!!😱) Plumber no showed 3 times (!!) so I decided to have a go myself. I was really struggling to do the nuts up tightly because of the tight squeeze inside the wall... still really struggle to handle the big wrench tool and the small one in confined space. Can you just use two small ones?
