Thanks for the comment and the Sub. Despite my best efforts, it would appear very difficult to condense all the info into a shorter video. Hopefully you enjoy it. Thanks again.

@@AlexMorleyPlasteringI am watching it fully again. It will be my first time attempting plastering on a tight budget... 1) could you please recommend a trowel? 2) also would i need a Ultra Flex Finishing Trowel? I would really appreciate it, thank you in advance.

@@jizzy5425 thanks for your message. Tough one tbh. Depends on your budget. Really a Spatula or Speedskim is more useful for a novice. Either a 800mm or 1m. Trowels, personally I prefer carbon steel, as they wear in quicker but with stainless steel there is less maintenance. I would probably get something like a Nela MIDI Flex, or the Refina equivalent in 14” and a second hand 14” plastering trowel of eBay. Already worn in. Saves so much time for the same price. If your new I would look into sponging though. Much easier to get a good finish.

Thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated

I so have a spot stand. The problem is because we are often mixing 2.5-3.5 bags at a time, you can’t life the bucket. And the board would have to be massive. So there is little to no gain. Bending down isn’t really an issue. Not compared to stepping off a hop up atleast.

Glad to hear the videos are helping. The dings will become less often as time goes on. Take your time, use the far left on the bucket as it’s drying. As it’s less noticeable when it dries.

I will do what I can. We are on a lot of rendering at the moment, but I will try and post something of the subject. 👍

Side to side only on VERY high walls. The latest video they are over 5m high. Standard walls 2.4m up and down is my preference. You can go side to side aswell, but the priority should be ⬆️⬇️ In my opinion. It gives a better finish.

@@AlexMorleyPlastering thanks pal 👍🏻

👍🏻👍🏻 cheers pal.

Hi Marcus Looking at the video, at 17min point i had just finished applying the first coat. I had not mixed up for the 2nd at this point. If you are new to plastering you want to mix up when you need the plaster rather than letting it sit around. To give you as long as you can with the gear. Hope this helps.

@@AlexMorleyPlastering Sorry mate, I was referring to just the first coat. I just meant can it last a little while in the bucket and does your timer start once it hits the wall, or once it's mixed and sitting in the bucket? When I practice as soon as it's mixed I'm panicking it's already going off like a rocket just by sitting in the bucket, and I'm rushing to get it on the wall asap!

Most of the time I use a carbon steel trowel up to the final pass. Then run a Nela Plastic If I use a flexible trowel it would be afte the 1st wet trowel. And most of the time it’s the Nela Midi. However we are resting out the refina Superflex 3.

Have a look at the timing video we did. It should help you out.

@@AlexMorleyPlastering thanks mate just ordered one

Very good platform. We have a few of them. Thinking of buying the adjustable height ones aswell for higher ceilings

It’s a bit of a personal preference. There is a video on the channel Carbon Vs Stainless. That goes through the pros and cons. But my preference- Carbon

Yes you can. Just need to PVA 2-3 times to kill the suction
