- If you want to learn the basics to plastering and learn how to plaster your own walls then join The Plastering For Beginners welcome Course. It's a free plastering course ideal for anyone who wants to learn how to plaster: plasterersblue...
Today, we're going to show you the exact water and plaster needed to get the perfect mix in plastering. This is probably one of the most important steps because if your mix is ruined then everything afterwards will fail.
The links to the tools mentioned in the video are below:

Von House Mixer - amzn.to/3WQEwXF
Refina Mega Mixer - amzn.to/3ikeEEC
Combo Drill Attachment - amzn.to/3jMFqWm

Again, you don't need an expensive drill but I don't recommend mixing by hand. It's slows the process down and it's very hard to get a nice, smooth mix. If you like this video hit the like and subscribe button if you want to be part of the course.
And please leave a comment on what you want to see next. I'd love to hear from you.
Hope you enjoy the training.

Fantastic content, I have been watching your videos for over a year and you have actually taught me so much. Thank you your work/content is very much appreciated. 👍🏻
Thank you very much! Glad to hear it’s helped 👍
That mixing bucket needs a good clean. In my 46th year of plastering now, keep up the good work.
Haha very good point! I forgot to do it over the Christmas holiday. Respect…that’s good going. All the best and thank you for watching 👍
Ya in 46 years of plastering but ya watching a crash course on how to plaster 🤯
@@lukemcgee6566you never stop learning.
@@Fulford-lh1qn brilliant reply 👏🏻
@@Fulford-lh1qn luke never started 😅
I’m so glad you are making this course of videos and I’m really looking forward to having a go. I’ve got plenty of renovation to do on this house before I can trying my hand at plastering, I’m fixing the staircase up a bit today. I’m sure there will be trial and error in my first few plastering attempts but I’m confident that with your help I can get it done. 👍
Good luck and thank you for watching. All the best pal 👍
Really like your teaching style mate. Great content :)
Had every mixer out there but them virtrex are solid for the dollar!
They are mint mate!
Some of the best videos I've seen, 😊
Thank you mate. I really appreciate that!
Hi , if didn't want to mix a full bag would you recommend weighing out the amount say 1/4 of a bag then adjust the amount of water by the same proportion. By the way great video. Thanks
I'm having my first go this weekend and have found your videos to be very helpful, so thank you very much.
One question I have - how much water to a bag for the finishing coat mix?
Put a mark on bucket at 12 and half litre
Hi, Great videos BTW... I got a 1200mm speed skim but my blue blade but moves left too right by about 5mm when both end pieces are in on the ends. Does your blade have movement too ?
Hi Blaine,
Hope you’re good mate. Just working through your plastering for beginners tutorials 👌
Do you know of a mix that can be knocked up for practising on a temporary practice board at home?
Hi Mate - another good video, but you didn't explain that 2nd mix needs to be less thick/runnier than 1st mix
I just do odd bit of plastering here or there, I use my SDS drill for mixing, obvs if a pro buy a real mixer. I think you risk burning out a combi drill. Also watch the speed, dedicated mixers go slower than generic drills. Trigger control important if using a generic drill.
Thanks for this video
Most welcome
First time i tried plastering, it went off in the bucket and I had to buy more. I wonder is that why they recommend slightly less *scratches chin*
Just gone to start mixing my plaster but I haven’t got any ear defenders 😢 gonna have to what until screw fix opens in the morning 😤
You've obviously NEVER mixed by hand .... ONE! - it's 'faster' by HAND .... TWO! - It's just as creamy if you use a good plunger - impressed with this course of yours though .... well done! 🙂
And 3 it's too much like hard work 🤣
absolutly fucking beautiful. I have been shown this method BUT BUT BUT!!!! they add way less water and its fucking hard to work with. Streaking gaps - glump bumps - airbubbles. Wish i found this much earlier to confirm my findings. thank you
If we’re doing a one-off job as an amateur, we can’t justify buying a proper mixer; but we still need to do it properly.
hire one then
when you mix the bonding plaster how many litres do you recommend ? whats on the bag or 12.5 like the mutifinish ? thanks
Does it matter the type of roller you use? Fine , medium pile etc?
Can plaster be made super thick so it can be moldable
Excellent Blaine love it. How do you control suction on new plasterboard? I’ve plastered on to it and within a couple of minutes it’s dry! Maybe my plaster is too thick but doesn’t seem it and I even tried spraying water on it before now but doesn’t work! Have you any tips please?
Painting walls with PVC helps to control suction.
Always check USE BY DATE on the plaster bag. If it is out of date - mine was 5-6 month after and it become solid within 30 seconds - I have lost my paddle mixer and bucket.
Do you need to get your green card before you work on site or not ?
Is the the same mix for bonding plaster
can you do a video on a wall with damp and how to take it back to bare brick and fix it from there please.
I’ll look into it pal!
Can we see the mix, often it looks wet like angel delight and sometimes like soft peaks (meringue)
I shown it towards the end…failing that you’ll see it in tomorrows video 👍
if you are using a drill make sure you use a cheap crappy one - will break eventually. All that dust will get into it.
Even tho he said he had his cheap one for nine years?
@@jamieb759 i had my cheap one for 9 days,
Sorry to hear that pal!
I've the collomix last 8 years ...labourer never cleans it my fault but should be on to him but thst drill has never caused a minutes trouble for me well recommended
@@PlasteringForBeginners-- well, i got it free with a drill stand of eBay.

I just wanted to say a big thankyou for your videos. Ive done a whole bluddy house. You cant learn plastering from a book, you can learn everything else, but plastering its more like a dance you have to mirror. Its not an exact science either, so you have to learn about porosity, suction, viscosity, humidity, so much.
.
The first one I watched was about artex ceilings, I had them throughout and some textured walls. So I thought I should pack it out myself to save some money - but then I thought I should buy a speed skim, a bag of multifinish and just give it a go, for a Sunday.
.
I watch your videos in full and I like how you really drill in the important messages.
.
Id advise anyone who is willing and able to learn, its a long learning curve. If you, like me are in the house flipping business up north. (if ure in the south east try and get this guy). Its an expenive trade not to learn, and a cheap trade to try to learn. A bit of gypock, a few second hits. Its lauable to think how slow I was a couple months ago.
.
I even built a new wall at an over hanging angle to eek out about 2m2 more of room space over the staircase, and I skimmed it, its an obtuse angle with a little curve in it. (im a little to proud of that curve
.
Just a big TY - everyone needs a mentor in the game and you are mine for plastering. Ive done electrics, ive done plumbing, and roofing, but plastering is the holy grail for the community so I think I can talk on their behalf when I say you are a value to the community.
Where to buy that mask❤️
Screwfix mate 👍
You didn't pour all the water in a bucket, why?
Because I didn’t need a full bag…I was just demonstrating ratios 👍
@@PlasteringForBeginners ohh I see, thanks for the demonstration. Subscribed!
Not all work places have power...so hand mixing is a vital skill...and if I'd mixed finish plaster in such a filthy bucket I'd have been in big trouble ..try skimming plaster board with solid bits of plaster from your dirty bucket...joke.
