As much as I do like Johnny Cash, it wasn't what I expected when I clicked on this!!!

Yes, It is pretty scary what some installers get away with!! I had a guy contract for us a while back who's coving always looked like this. Difference was, he didn't get away with it most times. I got called to have a look at one of his installations and discovered that.... He had done all his...

Who disrtibutes it ion NZ? I think from memory it was either Nuplex or Metro I got it from years ago....

I have used marpei stuff in the past although I can't remember which product. I almost exclusively use Ardex product for prep these days, they seem to have the right stuff for every situation.

I just received my new Seamer Down yesterday (The first one in NZ) What a great tool! I will be doing my best to get more of these into NZ. Every carpet installer should have one, the results are truely amazing!

Hmmm I feel for ya! I'm lucky I guess that I don't have to do anything THAT strenuous! I tell ya what works for me..... I get home, have a hot shower to remove all the dust and stuff..... Then I go and flop into the spa pool and crank the jets up full.....aaahhhhhh
