Thanks so much for your help, i learnt alot from you i found your videos along time ago and have adopted all the things you have taught. You even taught me how to cut and hang cornice when nobody else could or did. The way you explained it clicked my mind into understanding how to do it and i now have a skill for life because of you. You've helped me put food on the table for my family so thankyou
I hate that others crap on your help and hard work. Thanks for your video it has helped me allot. Dont worry too much about the negative comments mate. Keep going
Thanks for taking the time to post these videos, I really appreciate it when professionals share their trade with amateurs. Ignore the negative comments, I notice none of them have posted any videos of their own work!
Thank for your comment Pete. Negative comments don't bother me. There are many tips and people can choose which ones work for them and just glad that some people like you appreciate my videos and has helped you achieving good results with your project! Regards
excellent and clear advice plasterRepairTips, did a room today with internal to external etc etc, you don't want to see my failed attempt offcut bin, haha. In the end just made ask the corners and then for long straights in between. filled the gaps as best I could, thinking about a little bit of polyfilla and sanding to make it more seamless before I paint. Got a square room to do next so thought I'd watch a few tutorials as I want to get to grips with it without having to make 4 seperate corners and cutting straights to fit. Thanks again for all advice, part 1 was great for the internal/externals etc.
+Dean Charlton well done Dean for having a shot at hanging cornices. Keep watching mine and other great you tube videos so you get a better example on hanging cornices..regards
good clips and plenty tips for hanging cornice and coving here............one tip - i always clean each section as i go as sometimes adhesive dries so fast and it can be a bugger to fix if it has set........i love how cornice enhances any room
I can appreciate a capable carpenter as you say can cut mitres as described by your comment.. I'm showing traditional plastering tips so that a home handy person can attempt at fixing cornices without buying expensive equipment for a small or once off job. Thanks for the info, is there a video link where we can all see?
Thanks for your comment and support mate. As I keep saying, there's heaps of videos out there on any subject and like me I look at a few and use some of them that suits me. That's where if my videos have helped in any way, that's great!! Glad they have helped you and happy for any constructive criticism. Cheers
Great videos. I'm going to have a go at replacing old cracked 55mm cove with 90mm cove for a more modern clean look. Will cornice adhesive stick to solid plaster painted walls? And painted ceilings. Do I have to do anything to prep my plaster walls after removing my old cornice?
Hi, Great video series, has taugh me a few things and confirmed a few others I was already doing :). I do a little bit here and there, I am fine with hanging the sheet, setting the sheets and corners etc. I can butter and hang the cornice, but I always end up with a slightly crap mitre, I know you prob do it all the time and I often run around and draw a line at the 50, or 90mm mark, or whatever size cornice I am using, I just cut a block of wood and then run around the ceiling with that. Any tips to make sure I get a good mitre, and also is it possible for you to do a bit of a vid on how to use the small tool, I seem better with the broad knife but I would love to master mitres and the small tool.
I am hoping to put my coving up this weekend and having watched this vid I think I just might be able to do it I will get back and let you know how I got on great vid
You can practice with a couple of extra offcuts. Cove cornices are not too expensive so if you give it a go as per videos and check it on the wall before putting glue you'll soon catch on. I know it sound strange at first to flip the cornice upside down to cut the mitre and remember for the right internal cut the left side and vice versa. For right external mitres you cut the the left side but the opposite miter cut. Don't be afraid of making a o of boo boos. Persist and you'll see what happens. Good luck!!
Nice vid, you're a pro. I'm struggling with wavy ceilings, wavy walls and angles not 90 degrees. An absolute nightmare. There doesn't seem to be any method for getting this right other than stuffing loads of filler into the gaps which are EVERYWHERE !!
Sir Bob thanks for your comment Sir Bob. Most rooms are square and they are ay 90 degrees therefore you cut the miters at 45 degrees( 2 x 45 = 90). So if you have a angle that's not 90 degrees get a protractor, measure the angle and half it for the miters you need to cut...eg. for an internal miter your protractor tells you the angle is say 45 degrees then the miter must be cut at 22.5 degrees and if the external miter is at say 70 degrees then the external cut is 35 degrees
Good point. I always keep an eye on the gauge (mixed plaster). Normally I have a good 30 minutes as I know the mix but I do appreciate your comment and yes ALWAYS keep an eye on how the plaster is setting or in your case clean as you go. Many thanks Regards
Can any one else work that what you're talking about?? The videos are designed to help any D.I.Y's out there. Looks like a high teck way of doing thing. Is it practical for most of us? I disagree about the truck comment but please send me a link or example of what you are trying to explain to us in better detail. Thanks for your comment by the way. Regards
I've watched xXsnitchyXx video and he does a great and fast job! My aim with my videos is not to show how fast I can hang cornices. I wanted to show and help guys out there on how to cut miters for cornices (as the heading says).
loved your commentary few things i do different. but took to long and messy( but do understand trying to teach) no so much your finish and shape more so appearance Plastering is all about the look from start to finish as soon as paint goes on we loose all credit keep it clean and straight
jonty jt I'm using glue to fix the cove corniced and you need some excess glue to fill any gaps.. can you direct me to a video where I can see what you are saying from your comment please.. cheers
Look at the state of the cove Phillip McIntosh it's covered in muck with doesn't help when you paint. As for achieving negatives, I have two successful businesses with four employers in each , a nice home , a lovely wife and a daughter so I'm doing just fine thank you. Why don't you just tell me to fuck off then instead of saying you would do. Fucking pussy. As a professional who's been in the trade for twenty years I can give a valid opinion . And don't mouth at strangers when you're ip is so traceable you think cunt. This was 24 weeks ago. Move on

Thanks mate, great stuff.
my joins ate pretty poor, I'm away working at the minute, but i plan to sand and plaster them until they are as seamless as possible.
great vid,you should look up a tool called a JOINT RULE,way easier than a paint scraper
thanks for your comment

Plastering is all about the look from start to finish as soon as paint goes on we loose all credit
keep it clean and straight
what about top coat on internals
@willy00078
Glad the video has helped!
rough! If you do it properly you don't need to clean all the shit off the coving because pros don't get shot all over the coving.

I'm using glue to fix the cove corniced and you need some excess glue to fill any gaps.. can you direct me to a video where I can see what you are saying from your comment please.. cheers
