jack Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Trying to buy some birch plywood at the moment for a project. Half of the online places are out of the thicknesses I need. It also seems very expensive, but to be fair, it always seems very expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never found it a problem - have not seen any degrading compared to in date cement- and it’s free ! A month ago I turned down a full pallet of out of date plaster..... and a full pallet of lime....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Only issue with out of date cement is the chromium and other salts that becomes more aggressive on the skin so gloves are essential. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshine Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 What are people doing about cement at the moment, it seems that the big chains are limiting supply to 10 packs a customer. B&Q seems to be cheaper than local builders merchants at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 One of my regular merchants have stuck the arm in with price rises. Quote from them for a load of insualtion, timber and blocks was £4800 ex vat. Got a quote from another merchant and they were £4k near enough to the penny ex vat. I've priced around before and found the local companies are pretty much all the same so gave up and have just been using the one. No more!!! Only issue is the insualtion is unavailable for at least two weeks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
