Jesus christ who plasterboarded that. Watch you don't lose your trowel in the plasterboard joints. Good job. I have a fall time job and plaster at the weekends for a bit of extra money. You can earn some good money plastering I couldn't do it 5 days a week hats off to you.
The poor soul is knee deep in it towards the end. Fu**ing hardest job on the site mate. I'm only 42 and my back, knees, wrists and more than likely lungs are done in.
hahah im a nob lol,, plastering in your era as well as the youth of today is for thick kids with no hope of doing a real skilled trade!, it took me 4 yrs to finish my apprenticeship with 20 yrs experience and still learning as joinery is so vast in techniques with a much varied array of tools and the intelligence to use them, as i said plastering is easy!! very easy when you get the feel for it, come try 1st 2nd and final fixing a house, shopfit or refurb, set out foundations!!, you silly billy!
I dont know why he would want to start at 12 in the afternoon and do the full room yes he is slow yes he's using drill that could only mix icing sugar but his finish looks decent and seems clean and that's what its about at the end of the day
it looks very good to me, I want my fireplace done, hence watching vids on this topic. I'll be putting it over modern drywall, hope its not too difficult.
When doing a ceiling top tip buy a pair of stilts just learn to use them cuts out all the jumping down off the ladder moving it then running back up which may not seem it but saves around a third of my time.
and it is not speed it is quality!! please remember that when you complete a job then another trade will follow you and your name is to the job you have just done, trust me there are very few good plasterers out there!, the quality is below my standard on most builds and the attitude is that of "get the money out of it and f***k off", i will not employ any plasterers due to the fact they will not do the work to my standards and my customers so i do it all myself and make my skilled job easier..
didnt see the skimming with 2 hands at the same time , would like to see that , i always knock up a bag and a half lay it back with half the ammount , that way this room becomes two three hour sets , and tarps are great for the floors , thats a TOP tip
Thats two trowels my friend. Also get a good drill. It will make the job so much easier, coz it will make the plaster slide better. Those small drills over mix the plaster, and tend to knock the life out of it.
lol works simultaneous with two floats!!!??? WTF is that supposed to mean? does he hold his hand board in his mouth? haha, that mixer tho! not to mention he is right handed and working right to left???
seriously, what is the point of this video? No tips, poorly edited, not clear what and why you're doing, I could go on....... The plasterer doesn't seem to be an expert, to be honest.
@MightyGimp And yes we all make mistakes and non of us are 100% perfect but certain issues in some videos have to be commented on to help guide people and point out other options that would help. If comments are constantly aimed at particular faults by so many people this usually means it's not normal to be doing it this way.
@MightyGimp i can fully understand that some people might not have the money to get a plasterer in to do the work for them. Most are probably best having a shot at doing it themselves anyway because the sad thing is,is there are alot out there that can not do the job to an acceptable standard..i know many BUT there are some out there that can do a nice job and do care.
if you use blue board srcatch the seams then lay it on then go back and straighten out timing is everything one 12 x12 room with ceilng should take 2 guys less then 4 hours with clean up
One of the biggest trowels ive seen, yet this guys got the smallest arms ive seen on a plasterer. Mind you mega lol at his drill and santa keeping an eye on the buckets haha!
anyone can plaster! i tought my son inlaw and it took a day for him to get to grips with the basics and even we could skim that room easily in a day! oh i forgot to say i am a joiner/carpenter any one with any practical skill can plaster with the right tuition, plasterers make out that it is hard so they can sting you when they give a quote!, and before anyone starts i can dot n dab, bond out, render, screed and skim to an experienced plasterers standard, no offence to any plasterers...
refina mega mixers or eibenstock mixers are regarded as the best, which are basicly the same mixers, as refina import eibenstock mixers from germany and put there own label on them
@yochimitso let me guess your one of them 1 coater plasterers. well we sack every plasterer that does that as its totally wrong. so if thats the way you do it well done. but i paid my mortage at 38 after 15 years of plastering. bought 5 houses and am semi retired at 38. so ask yourself. who's doing it right ?
depends spose on hardwall/bonding 2 hours! 2 coats always none of that 1 coat wonder bollox lol! 2 coats out of 1 bucket of gear its poss i suppose! im mainley a domestic spread so i aint gota rush i go to a job an say that that an that the morn an same in afternoon.nicer finish happy customer! dont need site work get enuff recomendations! ya get me
@MightyGimp like i said me making a 5 minute video isn't going to help any1. There are many things to take into consideration depending on what you need and plan to do. This being the certain backrounds you're planning to working on? what and how you should be going about certain types of plaster/sand cement. How you need to prep some backrounds to prevent problems. And a guide to how you should be going about it all,if you would like my advice send me a pm and i'd be glad to give u my advice
hi if he is a master plasterer ,then i am a monkey's uncle. 3 skim coats,on a ceiling why? 10 hrs to do a ceiling and a few walls! appalling!! what bonding agent did he use on the walls to be skimmed? please! tell me he used thistle bond-it primer!! regards davy
" I can do it faster, better, cheaper, cleaner than you " It's becoming something of a common post from all those plasterers out there, give it a rest girls. You're in the wrong business you should take up hairdressing
good morning. today is valentines day and im going to be spending the day with ERR a gay called Tim & ERR a gay called tony......... WOOOOOOOW STOOOOP!!! what you, Tim and Tony do on valentines day is not to be shared with the world!!!!!
Sorry bad miss spelling on last post. Looks like Tim and his silicon chicken have got in to my keypad noooooo... p.s need to go buy a small drill and only mix up half a bucket at a time I've been doing it wrong all these years. but follow this video I will soon be a master plasterer too ;) lol
