The Plasterers Forum® is a place where plasterers all over the UK and slowly the world comes and talks about plastering and related subjects but sometimes the topics are not what people want to hear. One day, we have a thread was started by a member (Peter), and it was that his van was stolen and the police had recovered the van, but the thieves had taken all of his tools.
I think everybody can relate to this happening, one way or another, and it quite frankly, upset a lot of the members and the other members of TPF started posting their condolences but not only that offering bits of tool kits that the thread starter (Peter) might need to hopefully get him back on his feet.
One of the people to get involved was The Plasterer Form’s sponsor of Plasterers 1 Stop Shop, and they sent out a bundle of tools to Peter to get him on his way and also I think a mixer was loaned out and what not and to be honest the whole community got together and helped someone out when they were in need…. you can read about it here…
This is what is so great about The Plasterers Forum, the members are like family, and if you get involved you will get looked after by the members and also the sponsors will do what they can to help you out when you need them most.
To get the most out of the forum you need to get involved and the way you do that is by heading here http://www.plasterersforum.com/register.php signing up and get posting, it’s totally 100% free to do and the community is very friendly although the banter can be a bit strong and the members do like a good wind up every now and again, but it is like being on a building site canteen on a Friday.
Make sure you get involved and get stuck into the worlds biggest plastering community and let the forum help you and your plastering business.
I would like to thank Ryan at www.plasterers1stopshop.co.uk for their support of both The Plasterers Forum and its members.
Hi all,
On the Nela trowel, I recently went to purchase a Marshalltown trowel in a local tool shop in Dublin when I was amazed to hear they weren’t stocking them any more due to the rising cost of them. The guy behind the counter showed me a 14 inch Nela which had a double layer of steel around the bar, He also said they got great reveiws back on them. The blade seemed to be made of a very soft stainless steel which I thought strange as stainless steel is normally very rigid. Has any members used them lately? Happy new year all!!!
Glen.
Hiya
that sounds like the Nela Superflex trowel that is meant for finishing rather than laying on 🙂 http://www.plasterers1stopshop.co.uk/nela-superflex-trowels-c-65_27.html?osCsid=rj52uq2bcm2n8g2qs47k5orhu4
Its a fantastic finishing trowel for sure… head over to http://www.plasterersforum.com there have been lots of discussions on it 🙂
