Ray i buy karndean from my local flooring wholesaler ie not headlam. I pay "chic unique" prices, perhaps matt or rugrat can say whether these are...
Cheers Ray, i was going to pm you to ask what you did with your lad but no need now. As he's 18 i'd have to pay him £4.83/hr which seems a lot for...
Cheers chaps, i guess what i'm asking is are there any official apprenticeships i can put them in to gain a proper qualification, in doing so...

I agree about the priming but sometimes it's too tempting to not do it. A lot of the time (as in this case) i'm doing the latexing out of hours...
My favourites change - generally i use cheaper latexes as customers don't like paying for it. I use screedmaster ultimate a lot, have been using...
