Dave,

I know you are based in Birmingham but if you want to come down south I am more than happy to show you the ropes.

I can teach you all you need to get started in a day and you can go out on one of the vans with the lads and get to grips with your technique.

I am based in Andover which is about 1hour and 30 minutes away.

Offers there ?

Regards,

Trev

If anyone is willing to give me a day experience.
I am located in Birmingham and the area is Stechford B34.
I have just tried the l shape technic and this as help.
Also my water mix was a little bit of washing up liquid and white vingar.
So if i do leave a water line in the middle is it best to just blade it of and keep away from using the scrim?
What about leaded windows?

Regards Dave
Dave every time you use your blade wipe it, this will eliminate the line,your asking about,
also vinigar is an acid, and acid rots rubber over a period of time.

I'm in Crawley, Sussex.
I use WFP but I do a lot of ground floor work the trad way.  I'm only an hour away from you and would be happy to show you what I know (would take at least 5 minutes LOL)

OK Dave.
My email is infoxxx AT scrim.co.uk .
I've worded it like that as I don't want the address harvested by spambots.
Remove the xxx and substitute @ for AT - and drop any spaces.
You must remove the xxx otherwise it will be filtered out and won't be seen by me.
