Plastering directly over T&E

[tedglen2]

Hello all.

I have goggled filling T&E with plaster and there are a lot of responses saying plaster will corrode the cable?

Is this just a myth? Will I be ok to just clip the cables then plaster over myself!

Oops nearly fell into the trap lol

Seems to solve a problem because.isn't there a regulation about extension leads in series

Future proofing for future changes is all well and good,but if taken to its extreme,its nice to go into a council flat and pull singles through the full conduit system,but that is not a goods enough reason for me to want to do it on my own installs

Must say,I use capping and oval simply because its easy and looks neat,also I hear so much about protection from the plasterers trowel
In all honesty I have never come across damage by that means
He would have to be one hell of a useless spread to slice his way through a cable

yes,

only time seen muppetry was ... well he was hammering the cable to try to make it flatter.

Didn't pass many tests (the cable)
