Oga mi, in your opinion, is the finished product easily transportable and can be manufactured offsite?

I truly detest the mess that POP guys create onsite.


cheesy Baba it's not our fault oh.... grin

The only way to avoid such mess, is the option of Plaster Ready made Boards.


Although I wouldn't advice you to use that, cause it's expensive, & POP is definitely stronger than it.

I continue to find this to be ridiculous. Why can’t they invest in aluminum scaffolding? It’s akin to masons telling clients to provide poun poun and shobiri.

But this is Nigeria, up is down, left is right cool


Hmm! Baba you just raised a good point.

I would take this as a great advice to enlarge my Empire.

Good idea but Na money kill am.

My advice is just buy the materials as they work... They will always give you excess quote.

They dissolve the soap inside the Oil..then use it on the Glass or board to get a smooth surface and avoid sticking

Thanks a lot. We learn everyday.

The Soap & oil: they're mixed together to help the casting Process.

Casting: is the process of creating Pop boards using fillers & water.

The mixture of soap & oil: is poured on the casting board/glass for easy removal of the casted pop when it dries off.

Thanks. I've never bordered with the nitty gritty. I just contract per square meters and only come back for inspection after the job is done.

The process in pictures, the vegetable oil and the soap are first sprayed on the surface of the board before addition of the fillax and then the dissolved POP cement is spread and allowed to solidify, then the hardened board is then extracted as a white board.

Education. But are there no anti stick spray and release agent in Nigeria? Anti stick spray could be cheaper, faster and more effecient.

To be honest, some of these things are not that so very much expensive. Just source and buy wisely. One needs the purpose of mind to invest in one's business and grow the business. Any meaningful POP business should have a multi purpose ladder/scaffold.

Nigerian workmen and women are notorious in not investing back into their businesses. So you meet a relatively successful POP installer, for years, they are still at the same rudimentary level. Little growth. Not a single tool or equipment of the trade own.

But I must say, people like @Next dey try small sha, despite it all. If you are a tradesperson, there is nothing like investing in ancillary trade equipment. If you have a job or quoting for a job, you give your client options to hire at a competitive rate from you or they provide or quote at a certain rate per sqm and offer scaffold "free". And you can also do equipment hire as another channel of income when things dry with POP.

No be only one road enter market.

Rotech77 In January was contracted by me to deck my duplex at Ogun state. The building was fully built up to the decking stage.. So his contract basically entailed decking and the continuation of the building..

He finished decking my very simple decking in Feb.. And that is the beginning of my unfortunate tale. After the decking was cast.. I went over to the site the next day only to realise the extent of the rubbish that was done....I would be posting a few pictures to bring to light what I am talking g about.

rotech77 your attention is needed here ooo
