From one plasterer to another - your plastering is absolutely flawless mate 👌🏻
Superb work as always mate 👌 look forward to the next vid 👍
Nice and shiny ❗️
I’m loving it ❤️
Awesome video pal
I've just found this video off the back of my previous comment Alex (about getting walls flat). Cheers
Great video, it’s not the tools it’s the user !!!
Nice
nice
Great video, lots of tips and timings. What ratio do you dilute your SBR. Thanks
cracking job as usual but like you say spat is defo the way to go less pain on the joints
Hi did you brush the internal corner and trowel or use a twitcher or corner trowel?? For finish between coats
Two hands 😂 really going for that polish! Looks good tho 👍 on a side note have you ever used a 1200 Nela black edition .4mm blade stiffer than a speedskim and a lot heavier but way nicer grip speedskim grip ain't really all that good... If you ever see one check it out they pretty reasonable price think you'd probably like it!
Game changer for the elbows nela black 👌
Why were you so sure that the plaster would "go quickly" given that it had - had 2 coats of PVA? And when you say quickly, what does that actually equate to in time? - I'm very new to this
Beautiful work again buddy.
So when you use just the trowel and on old walls, you combine the flatten and close in?
By the way is it okay to use a bag of multi 4 days out of date on an old wall? I was going to have another practice weeks back but a back injury stopped me but now I’m ready to go my bag of multi I notice was out of date 4 days ago.
Should be ok m8 I’ve used over month old and no different
@@Nofixedabode859 thanks bud. And it didn’t go off like a rocket?
@@MarcusT86 no not at all m8, as long as it’s not sat on cold floors and off ground it will be 100%, I’ve heard people use it 3 months out and still ok but like I say keep it off the deck or on something insulative
@@Nofixedabode859 oh shit I’ve had mine on my cold downstairs floor for a few months now
@@MarcusT86 yeah wat happens is it starts to go lumpy at bottom but if still powder mix half and see how goes
If you hold a long straight edge against the plaster is it realistic that it’s completely flat against it? I’ve plastered a few walls and the finish looks good but against a level it’s a few mm low in places.
Just practice getting the timing right. If you flatten it too early it leaves it a bit early when doing it all with a trowel.
Hi mate what did you use to fix the beads on ?
I just stapled them through the old plaster.
All well and good when the walls ain't that bad what about when they are all over the place like most older property's are
I'm a complete novice tried to plaster on plasterboard 2ft by 8ft only managed 1 coat went hard before could do anything else have you any links or videos that could help me. And how do you gauge how much plaster to mix I mixed 3/4 bag and thrower half away thanks
Easiest way is to gauge it on the m². 1 bag does about 10 m²
do u know the model of the mt carbon your using please mate?
The one I used in this video was this one.

@@AlexMorleyPlastering are u still using the cement trowel at all? its gotta be the lightest trowel i’ve held
You still using my carbon trowel I won Alex 😂😂
Good work mate I've never used a speed skim and never will been doing it the proper way for to long now but why dont any plasterers wear overalls anymore ,it cracks me up , 33years plastering and still dress for my trade 👍
Lol. Overalls. Shorts and trainers mate, summertime, top off, shorts and trainers.

Mate if you live in Scotland you need all the help you can get 👍
I one coat, but apply it 2-3 times the thickness you did
youre a bengal lancer
What is m8?
M8 = mate or do you mean Mt = marshalltown (if I'm wrong please ignore )
Very nice. But why waste time going over the beads first? Just get it on as would be faster, I had a fella work for me a few times always had to go over the scrim first and kept saying “that’s what we learnt at college “
So I sacked him 🤣
Anytime when you use trowel for finishing you have to clean your trowel…
How do you teach somebody
You have to learn first bro…😂
Fucking he’ll mate that plaster is way too far gone, grinding it back like fuck. It’s not about how shiny it is it’s about how flat it is. If your grinding it back that dry it mustn’t be flat. Try getting it flatter sooner
