Feb 6th, 2016: Classy Spackle

Drywall is heavy, dirty, nasty work, I hate doing it. But it's a lot faster and easier than plaster, plus it's pretty straight forward.
The artist is the taper, he's the guy that hides all the fasteners, smoothes the corners, and makes the surface ready for the finish
of your choice. The choices were pretty much paint, wallpaper, or a kid with a crayon, but now you can chose spackle.

However, if you choose spackle I would recommend letting Bernie Mitchell do it. Bernie's a drywall contractor with an extra skill,
sculpting 3-D murals with spackle. He also has an artist's eye and understanding of how lighting makes things pop. You might be able
to hire him because Sistine Chapels are few and far between. But if you can't, he has a bunch of tutorial videos to show how to do it.
You could have Han Solo on your wall.

I recommend seeing the videos at his site but if you don't want to click here's a sample.

Oh, and if you screw it up, just scrape it off and start over. ;)

Wow. I started out looking up the differences between spackle/Polyfilla and plaster, but that video left me in awe.
Not to be a wet blanket, but I wonder how it cleans (especially since he does fireplace work)? You wouldn't want to paint or coat that surface with anything much, I don't imagine. I can't find anything about that online.

Yes, I thought about dust also. But I guess if you can afford that stuff, you tell the upstairs maid, to tell the downstairs maid, to tell the butler, to tell the housekeeper to handle it.

You could probably just seal it with a clear coat, sprayed on.

I think you can even get flat clear. So it don't shine.

That would seal the surface against stains and deep dirt, but still be a bitch to keep clean.

I wanted an Assay service for my stockpile of gold, not an Essay service!

Cheeky bastard came back the next day as another user and just changed the number at the end of her user name.

Jeni loves gla-at, jeni loves gla-at.

You two should get your own NSFW thread.
sexobon • Aug 31, 2016 1:21 am
Hey glatt, I think jeni wants to service you.
sexobon • Aug 31, 2016 1:25 am
This could be leading up to a jeni69. Oh my!
sexobon • Aug 31, 2016 1:27 am
Ask her if she has a sister named jeni666. I like the bad girls.
sexobon • Aug 31, 2016 1:39 am
Try this line on her - [CaryGrant] jeni, jeni, jeni [/CaryGrant]

Feel free to try an IP ban if jeni045 turns out to be fickle.

You can delete my posts here and don't forget to lock the thread when you leave.

Back on track:

You'd have to paint that, you cannot leave Spackle unpainted. Well, unless you're a redneck and don't mind it crumbling off over the next few years. Hey! Then visitors can try to guess what they're seeing!
