I will soon be skimming the ceiling of my en-suite and spotted a few comments about using SBR instead of PVA prior to the skim. Previously i've only ever used PVA, but then again i've never skimmed an area that is affected by humidity. I have both products in the garage and so is SBR the better...

Hey everyone, So I had a bit of a self-engineered ordeal yesterday. I was using an SBR slurry and a pot of 'U-Can Patch fill Concrete repair' to fill a small hole in a concrete slab before screed. Long story short, it ended up running over and some of it got on an out of use lead pipe. I...

Hi, sorry for any silly questions, first time rendering here! I'm getting a guy to come and plaster this wall, but he said I could save some money by doing a coat of render then a scratch coat, then he'd plaster. It's such a small job, how hard would it be to mix the render without power...
