Great video! The one thing I wouldn’t agree - even though you are beginner invest in your tools. It will make your work so much easier and enjoyable, it will make the result of your work so much better and it will save you money in long term. Especially you don’t have to spend thousands on equipment, just get at least those 3 mentioned in the video- application trowel, burnishing trowel and a scraper.

@AlongForItAll Год назад

Agree. If you think you’re going to get into plastering… go ahead and get the good tools because you’ll probably end up buying them anyways.

Thank you so much for all the detail- most videos I found were very basic and quick which left me a little lost. Appreciate the time you took to be specific! I tried to buy Venetian plaster from Sherwin Williams and the manager just gave me the name of their vendor. I bought a gallon to test it out, however it’s not tinted. Do you suggest taking it to them for tinting? Does the company you purchase from tint before they ship to you?

@AlongForItAll 9 месяцев назад

I've never tried Sherwin Williams plaster. I assume it's probably not the best product. We like using the Novacolor products that Frienzecolor sells here in the USA. You can check the links in the description if you are interested. We like getting it pre-tinted that way their color specialist can match to a specific color.

Thank you for this! I built a range hood cover out of plywood and want to cover it in venetian plaster. Do you have a video on how to prep wood for plaster or could you give some guidance?

@AlongForItAll 10 месяцев назад

Awesome! That sounds like a fun project. I don't have a specific video on that but what I'd do for that is first prime it with a standard paint primer. That will lock in any wood tannins, if any. Then I'd plan to go over that with a quartz primer. That will add a bit of grit to the wall, sorta like sand paper, which will help your Venetian plaster adhere to the wall. This is exactly the method I use for a kitchen plaster project we did here if you want to check it out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MxeYSupK1zM.html

@ashleighhall0 4 месяца назад

Alright. Got Modern Masters plaster (not sure if you’ve used), followed a brand/tinting tutorial I found elsewhere. I “finished” 3 days ago, 2 coats, on a plain white wall. The intended color and color in the bucket and tools is very light, almost an off white. The color on the wall, 3 days later is very warm and looks like Grey Poupon. Doesn’t seem prematurely burnished as there’s zero shine (didn’t want shine). I have not sealed yet as I wanted to make sure it was fully dry but, why is it that color?? We also did a mantel like yours from the fireplace video (thanks for the inspo) but more so just layered it on, didn’t care so much to have a certain finish outside of it being uniform and that color is a 10/10. Do you think the dark wall just needs more drying time? Thanks!

@AlongForItAll 4 месяца назад

It’s hard to know without being there to see. Typically plaster will go one darker when it’s wet and dry lighter. If you noticed a general lightening up, then it’s probably the color it’s going to be. Hope this helps.

@igorpuskas9753 Год назад

When doing first/second coat of grassello does coat need to be smooth? Or you can leave the marks of the trowel as you apply the plaster?

@AlongForItAll Год назад

Depends on what type of look you want. Usually grassello is done as a smooth shiny coat, so in that case you’d want to make sure you are applying it smooth. There will always be some movement from the trowel so don’t get too caught up with it being completely perfect. That’s what will give it it’s plaster look!

Can you put venetian plaster straight on to drywall or do I have to skim the drywall first?

Yes! you can go over the top of drywall but I would skim coat it if it has a lot of texture or if you are using a fine/thin/shinny venetian plaster

@Rureal42 6 месяцев назад

If going over plasterboard as we call it in the UK or drywall as its known in the US does it still need to be sealed?

@AlongForItAll 5 месяцев назад

I always recommend priming. It might not be 100% necessary over plasterboard, but if you have taped seams, you'll want to prime over that so your compound doesn't re-activate while applying plaster. Again, I always recommend primer. It sets you up for better success.

@rebeccariley7743 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the informative video! What happens if you only chose to do one coat of plaster?

@AlongForItAll Месяц назад

If you only do one coat, it won't have that layered movement look of venetian plaster. The second coat also gets compressed into the first coat, closing a lot of the pores of the first coat. This allows the finish to look really nice and clean vs rough. You could definitely apply a single coat if you like the look, but traditionally venetian plaster is a layered process.

@pinkfortunekitty 4 месяца назад

Hi, thanks for making this video. ! It's not uncommon for Vienna plaster to stain when it comes into contact with oil or lotion. Do you have some tips for touching up?

@AlongForItAll 4 месяца назад

Without seeing it, it's hard to know exactly. My suggestion though would be to sand the area down a bit and apply more plaster over the top. This can be a tricky thing to do in order to get it to blend in with the old stuff. As always, I recommend sealing your plaster as plaster is porous. This will help avoid stains.

@J.o.e_K Месяц назад

Just guessing. I keep hearing something about wax being used. I'm thinking any counter top sealer would work great as plaster is technically stone and porous at that. Light sand areas in question just a little, dry trowel, machine or hand buff to a sheen to match original the seal everything. Test in inconspicuous area first

@A.D.A-232 6 месяцев назад

Before starting to plaster a wall, does the wall have to be level 5 smooth wall or how do you prep before applying plaster to the Venetian look?

@AlongForItAll 6 месяцев назад

Depends on the thickness of plaster but typically you want your wall smooth. For thicker/courser venetain palsters, you can obviously get away with a less smooth wall. That being said, I've never been mad about making sure my walls are smooth, only the opposite.

@stephannieschapiro1816 7 месяцев назад

i have a 108 year old house and it is all covered in hydrolic lime. What would I prime it with to get it ready for venetian plaster? I have to repair some the existing venetian plaster and I want to practice on a wall that doesnt have it first. It looks to me like there was just lime plaster under the venetian plaster (which has a high shine and incredibly hard)

@AlongForItAll 7 месяцев назад

Usually lime is a good substrate for lime based plaster so in theory, a light sanding might be all you have to do. Otherwise, using a quartz primer to add grit back onto the surface might be a good option. Or you can do both. Obviously your situation is going to be unique to you so I always recommend trying a small area if you are unsure.

@mateeullah9376 Год назад

Can we do this on plasterboard or already plasterd wall

@AlongForItAll 11 месяцев назад

Yes! I don’t see why not. If the plaster doesn’t have a sealer on it, you could go right over the top, otherwise you’ll want to apply a primer or sand the wall slightly.

Can I do my ceiling with this Venetian plaster how can I make it look like a shine grey and white marble

@AlongForItAll Месяц назад

Yes, you can do your celling with Venetian plaster. You'll need to prep the celling the same way you do any other wall before applying. To make it look like marble, you'll want to use a fine Venetian plaster like Grassello Fino which you can find here - bit.ly/grassello-fino . To add veins to look like marble, you'll need to get multiple colors and use a brush or small trowel. This method is very artistic and can take some practice so my recommendation would be to practice on some boards first so you are comfortable and are happy with the look first.

@RuboaArts Год назад

Can you plaster on wooden table tops?

@AlongForItAll Год назад

Sure! You'll definitely want to apply a primer just to give it a good surface and make sure the wood tannins don't come through the plaster. Might even apply a couple coats depending on the type of wood. If the wood has any grain to it, you'll also want to smooth those out before hand so the grain doesn't translate through the plaster. If you are using a thicker plaster, this might not be as necessary though. Hope this helps.

If you want sharp outside corners, just scraping with a putty knife works well to maintain the edge. If you want it rounded, getting a plastic bullnose tool is probably your best bet.

@@AlongForItAll after I burnish, I notice a few corners that aren’t very crisp. Can you just smear some plaster on, let it dry and then sand to form a crisp edge?

@AlongForItAll 3 месяца назад

If you've already burnished, it might be good to lightly sand the plaster to open it back up a bit then work on redoing the edge. Often times what I'd do, is make sure I have a decent edge on the first coat. If not, I work on fixing that edge and then sand it down prior to my second coat and burnish after that.
