    Net fitting Marmo

    I believe a lot of areas in the USA talking to sales staff at Surfaces and through other flooring sites are cutting neatly into the skirting boards https://kevmor.com.au/trimmers/904-armstrong-s66-wall-trimmer.html Another Is why would a factory make a product which is never going to be used?I...

    Looks good Don especially if you cut up to the skirting boards as I cant quite see from the size of the check outs around the door frames

    All of a sudden one could not buy that rag type paper. Only that wrapping type paper so we had to learn the ins and outs of it, the thinner the paper the moisture in the air the paper would get longer The thicker the paper was more stable Paper still didnt like being in the sun on hot days as...

    Too hard for me to get up and down the stairs to get to my wagon at the moment due to this chemo That straight edge Builders squares too large and thick and will not bend up the walls Should kinda work though if not having to have a no gap finish Threw them away years ago Remember that photo...

    In Memory of Jim McClain

    What about Nicks emails? :) The first ones came as a surprise and I asked him saying that I hope he didnt send the same ones to Barry as Barry was very religious. Nick went quiet I miss Nick as well, every time I see a golf email I think of Nick Nick used to Skype me every couple of weeks when...

    Just think if people did not try different ways We would still be riding horses not driving around in cars :) As I said earlier I would maybe pattern the whole room for the vinyl, cut out the vinyl Then use the same pattern for the underlayment Lay a sheet of the underlayment somewhere in the...

    What did you do today?

    No the heat from the flame could heat up your bald spot :) Its funny that a ballon is looked on as a plane, Dave had to get special glasses so they would not break, were not allowed to use mobile phones even though he used the phone to make sure there were no Airforce planes operating as we...

    Discussing politics and religion

    I feel sorry for the Russian people as I am sure they dont want any of this We sailed around the top of Russia a few years ago then flew to St. Petersburg for a few days, amazing old buildings with gold roofs

    What about that Marmo job with the upstands of which will have to go on first with the floor Marmo having to be cut in neat? Try using your paper for doing harder sheets of underlayment but I would think your paper is too stiff to run along the underlayment sheets with your finger nails to find...

    What did you do today?

    C.J, did they tell you to take hat? We went years ago with another layer who had a couple of hot air balloons it surprised me how quickly it took off He got rid of them when all this health and safety came in. He also had trouble getting the wind in the correct position as Auckland has too much...

    I have changed my ways if you read back to the beginning as different products come onto the market, eg rag type paper to brown paper; threw out dividers etc etc Working with different layers I watch what and how they do things then I try honestly to see if it works for me I keep on saying keep...

    Net fitting Marmo

    Took a photo even though it just about killed me going down stairs :) I have found that Sellotape sticks to these new vinyls better than some masking tapes All you need now is a ballpoint pen and a knife Do not like the sounds of the "paper" you use. Too much like hard work. Cant be cheap. As I...

    I think Roberts make those straight edges definitely not made in NZ Re paper thickness maybe 6 thickness of news paper, I know one guy who uses real thin paper but the dampness in the air makes it stretch, thicker to me is too stiff and a lot harder to get into tight corners I will stick with...

    Its nothing to do with speed Everybody uses those straight edges over builders squares not just me Its about keeping it simple which means less to go wrong One year at Vegas a guy was teaching people to lay underlayment for bathrooms etc. I put one of rubbish bins on the floor and asked him how...

    Threw the dividers away years ago and you should do the same, too much to go wrong :) see my reply as I got caught up on the phone before I hit send Pretty certain we used to use the scrapings as there was no fillers like these days

    Net fitting Marmo

    Do not forget I am still talking net finish with no gaps People were taught here with the days of that rag type paper then use those scribers similar as you do then put the pattern on top of the vinyl. Then the disagreements came as people were using straight edges about 1/4 inch thick to hold...
