    Mate I am extremely grateful for everything you do.
    I’ve learned sooo much from you.
    I’m an automotive engineer who loves DIY projects.
    Following hundreds of tips and tricks from yourself I’ve managed to successfully plaster 3 ceilings, 1 bedroom, and recently a garden room/office space.
    I have to be honest, plastering must be one of the most stressful diy jobs I’ve done, as a beginner you are working against the clock all the time, it’s very messy especially the first few ceilings, it’s hard work the ceilings, in particular.
    I’ve made many mistakes and I have two long cracks in a ceiling yet I’m very proud of the work.
    As a DIY-er, the fear of failure is paralysing. I would rather make a few mistakes and learn along the way, instead of not even trying.
    Thank you so much for everything Kirk.
    May your heart be blessed!

    I find your videos really interesting. I tried plastering on my own after doing a fast track course and quickly realised it's not a trade you can pick up in a month😂 I tried but it wasn't for me as I struggled with timing but much respect to plasterers out there, it's a really skilled trade

      If the first two coats are set and I want to plaster in next few days, do I need to take off previous coats ?

    • @yousafamin3187
      @yousafamin3187 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @AA-re9fk it will be a mission taking off the skim already applied. If it ain't that bad, just put a really thin coat over the top. If it is really bad, try & hack it off without damaging the hard plaster beneath it...... if it does get damaged where you can see the brick, you can practice some patching skills . If you chose to go back to brick, practice how to apply plasterboard witg some drywall adhesive ensuring you PVA the walls first

    Rare earth magnet finds joists quickly. Keep giving mine away to electricians . Ha.
    I pack the gap behind the board over joists with a 8mm hole and foam before screwing. Use fast set foam then screw. Get on and skim.
    Can't always pull the board back tight enough to stop movement in old made up joist. , but foam fixes by packing gaps.
    Interesting video and great work again.

    Previous plasterer was probably not very experienced and made some basic errors. This is why it's worth paying a bit more and getting someone who really knows what they are doing and get the job done right first time. I have seen many plastering jobs like that unfortunately and it tends to look ok until the paint goes on then you see all the unevenness, lines and scars.

    I have to ask, how do you feel about cream cheese, peanut butter or Nutella? I mean do you feel compelled to make it perfect before tucking in?

    Pretty sure this hasn’t been asked or nobody else has picked up on this but you say the previous plasterer probably struggled with the high suction background .. but then you mentioned there’s plaster boards underneath? Wouldn’t plaster boards eliminate any high suction from the background ?…..

    @onthetrowel I used masking tape on a ceiling I skimmed over the weekend. Mainly because I'm only a DIYer and no way as clean as you. I forgot to leave a gap and found out the hard way when trying to remove it LOL

    I had the skrim come down on me years back when I was a lad. We call it zip lining lol😅. My mates still laugh when they picture me completely covered in skim and tape. Huge dormer room it was aswell, bloody nightmare to sort out

    Nice neat job Kirk I know the plastering before wasn’t that good but I think a good decorator would’ve pulled it out with easy fill and micro scrim on the joints so I feel some of the blame could go to the decorator

    • @jonertime9249
      @jonertime9249 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dont know about that. A bag of easy fill screws and scrim, sand down fill again probably and still wouldnt of been perfect. Just skim it 3 hours job done perfect..

    • @NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot
      @NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot ปีที่แล้ว

      A good decorator could fix it but it really isn’t his job. And it’s debatable if the client would want to pay the extra for the making good

    • @Bzz22
      @Bzz22 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Why should the decorator get the blame , there job was to paint a new plastered ceiling , not to put right a load of crap without getting paid .
      Plasterer should have been called back to correct the mess they made in the 1st place .!!

    • @gavincollins9376

      Not cost-effective mate, and the end result wouldn't be better than a re-skim.

    • @christopherplimmer3133

      Been a painter & decorator since 1983 and it never ceases to make me laugh when people say the decorator will sort that. Just because we are a finishing trade doesn't mean that we should put other trades shit work right. When we go out to price the job it's usually before any work has been done. So when they tell you it's going to be skimmed, new skirts, etc, you price assuming the work will be by competent people. The reality is more often than not the standard is as in this video and worse. We don't price for easifil and tape prior to painting a newly skimmed ceiling or walls.
