me too steve, but it was all done with budget in mind!
there must be someone within a 15 mile radius of luton who wants to employ us for 10 years and just say "money is no object"
I do know 1 builder who this more or less happened to and he has done 12 million quids worth of work to 1 very large house and estate over 15 years
its more or less set him up for life
not much to ask for is it?
IMHO the autumn brown are a much better flag than mint
much harder and better looking

he who dares has it all squirted in by 11am but has to wait till 2.30 pm to strike it del-boy :;):Thepinkpavingco wrote:He who dares Rodney he who dares
pros:
cheap as chips,
3 bags of plastering sand 1.5 bags of cement and 6 sachets of feb
about a tenner for material opposed to £150
knocked up in the mixer
easy to use
cons
even tiny bits of grit in the sand block the gun
happened maybe 20 times
takes forever to go off
finish is not as smooth as easipoint or soft sand
we covered the whole thing with hessian when done ( N.B. MSH frost tonight) so wont know the full S.P. till tomorrow,when officially i am off work but may pop out to remover the hessian
cheers mr.pink

Was there a reason to use Feb in packets rather than liquid plasticiser.lutonlagerlout wrote:Thepinkpavingco wrote:He who dares Rodney he who dares

I don't know much about different type of sands. What's different about plastering sand, could you have not used soft sand instead of plastering sand?
As regards lumps I read that using something like this is a good idea as the grade of sand used is very uniform
