I’ve watched your tutorials on and off for a year now and I’ve plastered several rooms here, my first was our grand salon - 5 meters by 12 room and four meter high walls - Jesus I was absolutely done in after that. You gave me courage (Im a woman so I was nervous even more of giving it a go - not being sexist just the truth). Here in France, tradespeople are ridiculously expensive so I gave it a go - couldn’t of done it without you. Thanks Blane, Leanne

Well done!! That's great to hear and they definately aren't small rooms!! Sounds like you're killimg it...Fair play to you! It's great to hear a success story like yours so thank you for sharing it. Good luck with the salon and I hope the plastering is still going strong 👍

@Mp-jg3or Год назад

Today I have finish my first ever plastering, and it was exactly like on your video artex ceiling, didn’t do any plastering before and started from the ceiling…I did exactly like on your video first bonding coat and then after few days two coats of plaster multi finish , the most trouble caused drying plaster , as a novice of course it was hard to do whole coat in 1 go so on the end was a bit dry , ceiling had about 10m2 . Your videos are very helpful, it is everything beginner plasterer should know , now we need to just practice practice practice and learn from experience, thank You for your help

I particularly like the tip about working towards the centre light. Many thanks Paul

@tonydalton6756 Год назад

You can't do it accurately. Every mix is different & you have to wait until it's right. You will learn to get an eye for it quite quickly by trial & error. If you're making it look a mess, it's not ready so give it a bit longer. When it starts to look better with troweling you are at the right time.

Hi Blaine, I’ve been plastering for a few years but admittedly ceilings past a certain size I struggle with. Although it comes good in the end, I’m certainly not very efficient and sweat (near panic) more than other spreads do so this video has been great. I have a question though: 99% of the time i overboard ceilings due to how often blistering and failure of the skim coat has occurred on my jobs. I’ve never heard of using bonding in this way. Does it help keep blistering/de-lamination at bay? Have you any advice or techniques? It’d be great to not have to hoist plasterboard up all the blinking time.

Hello! Great video, I’m very new to plastering and am trying to go for a plaster ceiling in a school bus conversion. I know everyone says that plaster is extremely durable, I was wondering if you being someone who knows the product very well, think a plaster ceiling would hold up when driving down bumpy roads or you think it would probably just crack. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated!

@donatoferioli7426 2 года назад

I get a good result with just two coats of malty finish. If there is a risk of distemper. I just re-board it. You can get sealers but they take a day to dry and cost more than boards as well as smell of chemicals. Year's ago I made a plastic finishing trowel. But now you can buy them. I think they're brilliant. A good finishing trowel can get you out of trouble as well.

@1414141x 2 года назад

Stangely my local Selco don't sell the speedskim although they sell many other OX products. One note on artex I have found is tht sometimes the artexing has small stalagmites hanging off the ceiling, especiall on the deeper patterns, so i sometimes have so spend a 1/2 an hour using an old trowel to cut of the longer bits. Keep up your videos - they are a godsend to anyone doing their own work - committed DIYes or younger guys going into the trade.

@PlasteringForBeginners 2 года назад

That it weird. I thought Selco would have been all over it - strange! Yeah that does happen but I try to avoid scraping too much Artex now in case there's any Asbestos in the mix! Thank you very much. I really appreciate your kind words and you watching. Cheers 🍻

Hi Blaine first of all I love your videos I've learnt so much from you keep up the good work. I wanted to ask, when plastering a ceiling but not the walls should I not be worried about cracks around the edge where wall meets ceiling? Also on kinda the same subject is it possible to plaster half of a wall and feather it in to an existing plastered wall for instance where you have extended a property? Thanks in advance 👍

@PlasteringForBeginners 2 года назад

You can Caulk the edges after which should stop any cracks from showing through. And you can feather a wall into an existing one - it's possible but you just have to use lots of water to make it work. Hope this helps my friend and good luck 👍

@PlasteringForBeginners 2 года назад

I always used to do that but the last few times I've done it the plaster didn't adhere to the Bonding so I always PVA it now. Never with Hardwall but always with Bonding. It works a treat to be fair...gives it a nice key for the skim 👍

@michaelhoodleeder 2 года назад

I would really like to get to the bottom this one . As far as I understand it there is no need to use PVA as long as you go over the bonding with multi the same day. It's why we don't PVA between coats of multi . The gypsom forms crystals in the water between the layers. Am I missing something here ? Thanks for a great video.

@michaelodonnell3793 3 месяца назад

You're correct I've been plastering over many artex ceilings for over 30 years and you go over the bonding skim mixture When it starts to pick up Or you could say after a good half hour after you put the speed skim over it Then like you say you don't need to pva it The multi finish should bond perfectly to it In rare cases where you leave the bonding dry for 24 hours then maybe you would need to pva But apart from that you don't need to pva the bonding first coat

Exactly how I do it a lot easier normally put about quarter of a bag of bonding for 2 bags of multi

I do this all the time, even on some old walls that need strengthening/meshing

I never thought of doing that. How much bonding would you mix into a full bag of MultiFinish? Is that just for first coat or both? Any help appreciated
