@Lloyd1885 5 лет назад

For a proper realistic trade quality finish you need to leave loads of thick sludge running over the skirting and splashed over the door frame, a bead of it on the underside of coving, plenty of splashes over the walls, and corners with trowel marks all down them, all for the painter to put straight....oh and leave loads of it over the floor for someone else to clean up...then you can call yourself a proper plasterer! :-)

I plastered my whole house although not being a plasterer, I had laboured for a few and learned a few tricks here and there. One the tricks I taught myself though, is to listen to how the trowel sounds on the plaster. It gives me the timing of when to stop playing around before closing the plaster. Made my finish work 100 times better.

Bet all these plasterers on here writing salty comments are the same ones who either don't turn up or turn down work unless it's a full house they can plaster on a day rate. I learnt to do my own plastering after being let down time and time again and in all honesty it's really not difficult to get a half decent result. Vids like this really helped, thanks again Rog. 👍🏻

It's sharing thoughts, skills and ideas like you do on your channel that will get the people interested in DIY again. Most of my mates can't even use a lawn mower!

Thanks for a great tutorial. Step 1 get the plaster on the board. Step 2 take the long edge to skim off the the hills and fill the valleys. Step 3 take the sponge trowel to make it flat. Step 4 take the nylon plastic trowel to make it smooth. Step 5 take the German stainless steel trowel to create a mirror smooth finish. I am never going to be at the mercy of a professional plasterer again. Thanks a lot.

I watched it as it was in my recommends.no tape on joints and no unibond on the white wall.

@SkillBuilder 5 лет назад

So you didn't really watch it. There is scrim on the joints pressed into the bonding (old school) and the painted part was coated with PVA. Maybe you just nodded off for a while. Don't do that when you are driving.

Plasterers, who spend 5 days a week staring at a wall, go home and watch other people doing it and arguing with other plasterers on forums. Nowt so queer as folk.

To be fair i couldnt stand to watch it untill 16 mins or whatever.the tape goes on first.unless your using old hessian tape from the 70s.allso as a tradesman im open to hints and tips from other tradesman..(the reason i watch these types of vids) but thats inly as querr as trying to teach others a skill you dont even posses.its fine crying that all spreaders have a go at you..but that my friend is cos your not doing it right.you certainly wouldnt of payed someone to do a job that bad in your home.and you know it.

@Garyck88 5 лет назад

David Spicer beginners? How long has Roger been doing it for?? Most builders start with a trade then move on to building. As a builder myself I’m no “pro” but I know damn sure how to plaster a wall 10x better than this, but I’ve never wired a house out, some people should just leave trades for people who know what they are doing.

@jayman6905 5 лет назад

Enjoyed the video, and well done on encouraging people to learn the skill. I can do some plastering myself and like you i dont claim to be a pro and have successfully completed a few jobs and solved a number of tricky problems along the way, i learn as i go along and realise every wall is different and presents a different problem. My most recent lesson i learnt was plastering a wall in the hot heat of summer, boy was it difficult, within a few minutes it was starting to set even after applying pva to the wall before we started so it was a race against time, me laying it on while my bro fed me plaster and kept the wall wet with a squirt bottle and wet paddle brush, with him doing that it would have been a failure. Thankfully we saved it and got a decent finish considering the circumstances, however getting a sponge float like yourself will be my next investment i think, it brought your wall back to life and made it workable again. Good job with vids

Sign written vans, good rating on their trade profiles online but their work turned out to be below acceptable and the subsequent trades men like the chippy's and decoraters comment on how crap it was and resulted in them having to get around the mistakes. I like this video as it shows how it should be done and the guy doesn't pretend to know it all.

@ashyclaret 5 лет назад

@@tearipper He should of unscrewed the Plaster board and packed it out so it's flush with the existing wall.Would of taken about 10 minutes.Scrim all joints,score the existing wall and PVA it. Then just basic plastering with a two coat multi finish,the whole job would be finished in 3 hours. You can't teach novices to use a Speedskimm and Sponge float when they can't even plaster it's just complicating the issue and to be honest quite unnecessary. The main problem is that the bloke teaching the plastering has an awful technique.He can't even get it off the board without using the tip of his trowel,does make me laugh though,the blind leading the blind.I even like Roger as a presenter but this one was a step too far.

I'm not here to pick fault or criticise, just to say 'good on you' for having a go and showing other people a straight forward method so they can have a go themselves, so long as you trowel it up to a reasonable finish then jobs a goodun!

A great vid and really enjoying the skillbuilder series but from a total noob to plastering a couple of tips... 1) don't leave the bonding coat too long (i.e don't wait to the next day ;-) as when it dries it sucks all the moisture out of the multifinish within 20 mins making it unworkable very quickly. 2) Also never realised that the PVA coat can have 2 benefits, it helps the 2nd coat adhere to the smooth surface but also can help prevent porous surfaces from sucking the moisture out of the final coat.

if you don't take the render right to the floor the lack of damp course will be less of an issue, not a builder but if you watch all the "no such thing as rising damp" videos people make you realise that even though they are like religious nuts about it they have a point that people tend to spend thousands "fixing" the wrong problem when the real issue is water flowing in though an airbrick or impervious cement render trapping water in the wall and helping it rise when a gap at the bottom would stop that.

I'm a keen DIY'er and love to have a go at anything!! (I'm also the proverbial Scotsman, not liking to pay for jobs I know I could learn to do. Although by the time I've bought the correct tooling, it's most likely cost me more). Really enjoying your informative videos and always on the lookout for the next one!!! Cheers for the great content!

Always ask a mate if they have the tool your looking for. Then let them borrow one of your tools they need

I tried plastering a room once.. 100 kg on the walls, 10kg on the floor and had to sand 25kg back off lol. Never again I said... But I reckon if I had one of those speed skims I might have had a much easier time of it. It did look bloody good when finished though. Thanks for another great video Roger 😊

@SkillBuilder 5 лет назад

That is some learning curve. I reckon when you have a bad experience you should try it again or all that experience is wasted.

@davidm9643 5 лет назад

do you not scrim the joints before plastering to help stop cracking

@ianthompson9058 5 лет назад

I'm a plasterer and to be honest, odd little walls like this aren't worth a plasterers time really, so if it helps people to do little areas themselfs then all well and good. The only danger I see is people buying a bucket and trowel and taking on some poor buggers whole house. Also I use feather edges and derbys but just might give that speed skim a go. Cheers rog

Well done guys, great video. I wish i could of given 100 likes instead of just 1. Maybe in some peoples eyes you did it all wrong but it all worked out in the end. Why don't those that criticise launch their own channel and teach us all how to do it better. Keep up the great and educational content.

@wonkydogleathercraft6698 4 года назад

As a decorators all i see is a load of filler, sanding, more filler, more sanding, 1st coat of paint, re fill, sand and that'll make you look good

Hi roger . Little tip for you roger if you want the plaster to go off quicker on them one wall jobs is to use some of the previous mixed up plaster in your second mix for the top coat . It can make it go off and trowelable in about 10 - 15 mins , instead of the hour or so it normally takes . but then again i wouldnt advise it for amatuers cos you have to work damn fast when it does go . I think i would have taken that light switch off the wall though instead of trying to work round it and getting it all dirty ..Also the bloke doing the wall in the bathroom , i didnt see him put scrimm or anglebead on the corners of the wall, maybe he did but i didnt see it .. I do like the sponge float as we never had that in my day .. we had to go up the wall with a wet paintbrush in one hand and follow with the trowel in the other hand . with all the new tools they have now i wish i could do plastering again as best job i ever had but its taking its toll on my body after carrying 50kilo cement bags up 3 flights of stairs etc

I'm not a plasterer but I don't think they get enough credit in my opinion. I've plastered chases in the past which is as far as I'd go, perhaps small plaster patches, but as far as skimming I'd leave it to the pro's. A good plasterer makes it look effortless.
