Excellent video … after many years I’ve gone the other way with buckets … Rhino for mix and white tub for cleaning paddle. Mixer stands up in white tub and for whatever reason I get a better mix in the Rhino … maybe less trapped air ? Who knows .. just a comment
Speaking as a keen D I Y’er ,these videos are fantastic if you’ve at least done a one week beginner plastering course… At least get the feel of it and the mess before you do up your lounge … Watching expert tradesmen like this guy will bring it all into focus. Top video mate !
If the noise of your step up or aluminium ladders irritates you as much as mine did, spray a small amount of WD40, using its straw onto any and every metal to meta joint, even where rungs join the ladder strings, ( sides), and the creaking stops. Works on loft ladders brilliantly. If indoors like loft ladders, use sparingly, with a dust sheet and wipe off any excess as you go
Excellent work dude! If you want to 'show-up' the roughness of the surface... try a floodlight shining across the surface, around 6" off it, it will look like the craters on the moon, even if it looks 'perfect'... ☺️👍
I mixed the cretestone with a stick for a small patch up. It got hard quickly. And I apply to thick . Can I sand it down. And must I have the tool to mix
Gotta get me a speed skim. I got an artex ceiling in my bedroom that needs a plasterboard repair where we had a leak. I’ve done a few walls which looked decent (after some easy fill ) but this speed skim looks perfect for me as I was worried about trolling it all down.
LOL "have to leave it now the whisk packed up".... in my day we only ever used a bit of batten and knocked everything up with a stick Or a shovel and plastering bath when floating walls.... everyone these days wants it the easy way. When my old man used to float with sand n cement I used to have to mix in the street often 4-6 yards or so in a day. On the plus side your one of the few spreads I've seen take stuff off the hawk properly.
Technology has changed mate its all about saving your body as none of us are getting any younger so why struggle when you don't need to , my dad also used to make me mix with a lump of timber and also used a bath to. thanks for watching
Great vid and so well put across. Learning loads and absolutely love the no nonsense style of explaining what you are doing. Some of the vids here are a bit too overwhelming but I think you’ve got it spot on. Keep em coming. Which Refina speedflex is it you use 1 or 2? Thanks
Hi, can i ask, my living room has perfectly decorated walls but the ceiling needs overboarding and plastering,can this be done without messing up the walls ?
Hi yes it can be boarded and plastered without disturbing the majority walls with care, I have done it many times if you watch my video on plastering artexed ceilings you will see how to protect the walls but you will have to just touch up the paintwork where the walls meet the ceiling when you are ready to paint the ceiling.
Always 1 coat on board. Been doing it different ways for different people but now I do it my way. It saves you time and money. Only use ultraflex for last trowel. I been doing it 25 years. Why do it twice
Hi mate, I'm having an extension built with new 350 cavity walls, the existing is 330 but I want a flush finish, I'm having the new wall d&d obviously but how do I make up the 20mm discrepancy on the existing wall, would you fix another piece of plasterboard to the wall first, ( glued or screwed?) then just d&d the whole lot new and old and line completely flush, be interested to hear your thoughts mate, cheers 👍🏻
I would probably d&d some 9.5mm plasterboard to existing to bring it flush with the new wall and then d&d over the lot, the only reason for using 9.5mm is purely to give it a bit more adhesive when sticking rather than the dots of adhesive being to thin. Hope this helps
The lighting in this tube allowed me to see a clear definition in the plaster surface. All other plasterers tubes its really hard to see the surface definition. Thank you for this up load. Quick question if I may, Whats the difference between using the Stainless Flex Blade and the Semi Stainless Steel Blade ? They sell two types but there is no description the different applications.
For me the stainless steel blade you can move the plaster about a bit more with the pressure that you apply and the flex blade will give you the smooth finish when doing final trowel, hopefully this helps
Hi,you mix anything else with water?and before you plastering ,you apply pva glue?please let me know thank you 😊 🙏 because i like to try some plastering in my house. thank you. i enjoyed watching.
@@outandabout4971 great videos thanks for the reply all I've ever done is render walls same job over and over up to 1.2 or 1.5 for damp roofing.. I plastered for nearly 10 years and never did one ceiling lol when I see you put your setting on it looks quite wet and you do a one stroke but the new flexi trails and speed skins means you can just throw it on and just flatten it in.. it's moved a long way since I first started one trowel does it all method.. easier on your joints as well.. I actually finished with one of those plastic trowel
Hi mate glad you enjoyed vid wet trowel can be done one the second coat is touch dry if it starts to bubble just leave a little longer it usually means its not quite ready.
@@worklife4221 my old man didn't believe in cement mixers and mixers, I mixed the plaster with a roofing Batten, and back in the 70s when a bag of skim and cement was a hell of a lot heavier than the 25 kg they got today, I was about 8 and had to carry a bag on my shoulder for about a mile,
This is what I do every day for the last 20 years, thats 15 minutes job for me just to apply the material on the cealing and I can finish that room in about four hours by my self, anyway you are very skilled man, clean and professional, god luck
My boss come from Italy he work with harmacout company. He come to work in a company called Arbico PLC here in Nigeria and he teach me the work and give me the tools. I enjoy doing this work called multi finish
@@ipfishing1466 I know what skrim tape is I just was not sure what you meant about skrim taping the internals, if you mean where the ceiling meets the wall then they were skrimmed
3 stroke pul push then pull out from corners , not just one stroke 😬 Work from one edge and then come into your work . This is the most efficient way to plaster a ceiling
I agree with you Honest!!! I'm not sure? Is that a D.I.Y VIDEO ? Im at the plastering crap for 35 years and Honest! I have got a few new ideas over the years, maybe more! But that's not one . Ok.... One thing ! On an internal angle, instead of putting scrim cloth on , turn a scrim bead back t o front, SIMPLE 🤩
I thought they were your Knees Cracking 😜 Bit of WD-40, Great stuff for Joints, Off down 2 the pub for Liquid lubrication see (Medicinal Purposes Only) 💪🖖
How many square metres of plastering are acceptable in a 8 hr day so I know if I can do it for a living as I only do it part time at the moment.Great video
@@ipfishing1466 I forgot that's more for thin basecoat helps to fill that void little better I've come to find. I forget your using a heavier plaster! Nice work
No offence been plastering a few years and you’ve made an easy job look hard the way you apply plaster to a ceiling is very strange 😂 I’d start left to right bring the strokes as far as possible out then work the plaster back into itself from the other end it saves a lot more time and it’s easy to remove any lines !!!
Sounds to me like you should get yourself a channel on youtube and show everybody how its done as you sound like a right expert, the speedskim removes the lines also I did start right to left if you watched the video.

No nonsense and the finish looks fantastic.
This was so satisfying!
Nice work, always interesting to see how there are as many methods as there are people holding a trowel. You make it look easy.

Just shows that you don't need it flat on stage 1. Just get it on there.

Nice tidy job that is mate. Been self employed plasterer for almost 20 yrs and ceilings are the areas l enjoy the most.😉👍
Did ceiling today saw big 1.5ft blister when flattening. Bloody backing paper under old coat plaster with layer of silk paint.
😡😡😡
Nice bit ov plastering. Marvell plastering herts
Welldone!!!
Very nice
nice neat job m8 , looks really smooth. fellow spreader
Hits it with that flexi trowel far too early
Very good job

You won’t regret👍

Good job 👏 sir very well
Much appreciated
what type of plaster is this and what is the base matterial of it , gypsum?
what work time have ?
I mixed for years with a bike cog on a chime sweep pole .
Get real whipy !!
Ты просто огонь!Идея супер!
Cordell broke your whisk !
Top job mate .you got the tecmix drill take it back there's a trigger fault on them I've took 3 back now gutted because there a good drill .
Thanks for the heads up I’ve had my last one for three years I must have got a good one but will keep the warranty for this one just in case 👍
Treat yourself to the dewalt cordless paddle... best £600 I've ever spent. Saves carrying transformer and leads too. Well worth it trust me
I might just invest in one👍
Oh that pink gold, use to love using that, don't see it any more where I'm from don't know why.
good job

Blimmin gorgeous bit of slap that 👍🏻
When you have the cement on the Hawk, do you constantly try and keep it in the centre?
Not necessarily as long as it’s mixed right it won’t fall off just make sure you keep the hawk upright all the time
That's a great work l have passion the work we call it multi finish

How to prepare the wall before the first coat of skimming? The wall is full of deep caracks?
The walls were filled with bonding first and then skimmed
I had a plasterer mate that used to use a sponge float type thing, he used to get a top finish with it, do people still use them?
Oh yes I use a sponge and I know plenty of plasterers that use them as well
Do you pva ceiling before plastering is it best to or not
You don’t need to pva on new plasterboard but anything else then yes definitely
Really good job mate just start ungl my self 👍
Nice job gezza
Thanks bud
Good ceiling mate did ya used to be a drummer for the jam?
Why is Plaster from UK brown?? Is it just joint compound? I've never seen brown plaster in all my life in US
It’s brown in colour due to the aggregates used and processing, clay, and lime, drying a brownish pink,
Are you getting in to plastering, or a partimer?
Been plastering a fair while now budd
Looks good 👍🏻... realistically how many hours you working around this ceiling?, start to finish skimming only
About Two hours forty minutes

2 gauges, room done ,days work 1 man
I totally agree and I normally I would do that but not when you start at 2.30 in the afternoon though
Love the way you work. Better to spend a few more minutes getting it nice and flat with a trowel when it’s wet, than sanding when it’s dry.

Roller and tray to seal the walls is much quicker than brushing it on,
