Ah,, so that was it. I did see some of the stuff he was writing, and even alerted the mods to his advert, which you also commented on Rich. He was probably trying to drum up business.
We come on here day after day, year on year, just to try and help someone/anybody out,, then on comes someone like that guy, web link and all, and gives a few comments, and says how easy skimming is, (so he says, as a diyer)
We know that,, but to someone who's learning,, it's not that easy without plenty of practice.
Do you all remember the You Tube video posted on here a few weeks ago, of the DIY plastering expert who didn't know his hawk from a float,,
and then he showed people how "easy" it was to put a plaster skim coat onto a wall???
