I'd love some guidance from the great people here. Its about battens for external brick-slips cladding and how to get them flat and true.
I've got most of the battens up and and all is going well (see photo). But inevitably I've found a couple of bulges in the racking board which I could try and flatten out. The battens are screwed not nailed so I can easily remove them,
Is the best approach to pack the battens with plastic packers for the low spots.
And use a cheap electric planer on the battens for the high spots. I can buy a planer from Screwfix for £35.
Am I along the right lines?
And I'm thinking to aim for a tolerance of 2mm at most. Is that OK?
