Easily the best plastering content on TH-cam. Such a great job, and thank you for actually showing some real timings. So many other plasterers tell us it’s all about timing, and then never mention how long anything has taken!
This is the best video on the subject. And I've watched alot of them. Commentary is a real skill. You have it .
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated
Best plastering skim video's on utube. Very well explained 👏. I do few trades got bored doing one and like to learn new stuff. I bought a refina spat, brilliant piece of kit, absolute game changer for flatting walls. I came from fitted skirting and dado rails. So number one for me a wall is flat, the timings in skim is important and i have learnt from your video's Alex 👌🇮🇪
Very well explained as always. Professional through and through. Thanks for explaining so clearly
Thanks for the feedback Andy. Much appreciated.
iv watched all the main plastering channels and yours is definitely at the top for info ,great detaill and practical demos, should get an award.👍
Thanks for your feedback
Just found out I have been doing it wrong for a very long time...!
Thanks, very instructional tutorial.
Great video very informative from start to finish this is the best tutorial video I have watched if your learning to plaster this is a must watch for sure 👍
really nice neat and clean job, well explained , from a fellow plasterer
Thanks for the feedback. Always appreciated from a fellow spread. 💪
Just come across your channel. Some of the best plastering videos I’ve seen. You’ve got a great presenting and teaching skills and like the way you go into the different ways you can attack the different stages. With this kind of quality your subs should blow up 👍
Thanks Stuart. Really appreciate the feedback. We are working hard to give the best content we can.
Great vid mate finishing with a carbon trowel the best method ,covers any misses ,flat as …. Super job
Best video you can watch
Appreciate the all important little details such as what degree angles etc, I have subscribed...keep up the good work mate. Im watching the whole video, I am enjoying the great detail. Thank you
Thanks for the comment and the Sub. Despite my best efforts, it would appear very difficult to condense all the info into a shorter video. Hopefully you enjoy it.
Thanks again.
@@AlexMorleyPlasteringI am watching it fully again. It will be my first time attempting plastering on a tight budget...
1) could you please recommend a trowel?
2) also would i need a Ultra Flex Finishing Trowel?
I would really appreciate it, thank you in advance.
@@jizzy5425 thanks for your message. Tough one tbh. Depends on your budget.
Really a Spatula or Speedskim is more useful for a novice. Either a 800mm or 1m.
Trowels, personally I prefer carbon steel, as they wear in quicker but with stainless steel there is less maintenance.
I would probably get something like a Nela MIDI Flex, or the Refina equivalent in 14” and a second hand 14” plastering trowel of eBay. Already worn in. Saves so much time for the same price.
If your new I would look into sponging though. Much easier to get a good finish.
Really an amazing result, this video is really high class.
Brilliant tutorial, one of the best I’ve seen. I am still learning but managed to plaster a whole room at various stages. Just one small wall makes me sweat like I’ve run a marathon, along with swearing and dropping plaster everywhere but the end result turns out pretty good. I always end up with several tiny dings or hollows that I use filler on, is that usual for all plasterers? The speed skim has made it so much easier.
Glad to hear the videos are helping. The dings will become less often as time goes on. Take your time, use the far left on the bucket as it’s drying. As it’s less noticeable when it dries.
Realy good communication
More please
Thanks for your feedback. 👍
Excellent vid
An excellent instructional video my friend, Thank you.
Liked and subbed!
Glad to hear. 👍 thanks for the sub.
great finish alex ... top notch......one thing wouldn't you consider a X stand and spot board instead of bending down all the time ....or your just used to the bucket system .....
I so have a spot stand. The problem is because we are often mixing 2.5-3.5 bags at a time, you can’t life the bucket. And the board would have to be massive. So there is little to no gain. Bending down isn’t really an issue. Not compared to stepping off a hop up atleast.
This is great stuff Alex.
The best intuition on TH-cam by a mile 👌🏼
Thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated
well done alex great job !
Classy bit of work.Top spread
Thanks for your feedback.
Good video Alex, thank you 👍🏻
Great instructional 👍
Very helpful - thank you.
Hi Alex, how does your paddle attach to the mixer, is it threaded? It was super quick the way you detached it from the mixer after you knocked up the plaster …
Great video, well done.
What did you use for plastering? Kindly mention with brand name
When you're flattening the wet plaster from the top/bottom to the centre, doesn't that end up with more plaster in the centre?
can you do a video on how to brake in a carbon steel trowel fast can you use sand paper or stone good vid keep up the good work :)
I will do what I can. We are on a lot of rendering at the moment, but I will try and post something of the subject. 👍
Do you recommend up and down over side to side to flatten with the spat? I heard you mention the side to side in your other video to avoid vertical marks 👍🏻
Side to side only on VERY high walls. The latest video they are over 5m high. Standard walls 2.4m up and down is my preference. You can go side to side aswell, but the priority should be ⬆️⬇️ In my opinion. It gives a better finish.
@@AlexMorleyPlastering thanks pal 👍🏻
How long does it take you to do thise walls after knocking a new batch up for second coat ?
What brand is the hop up Alex? I like the idea of the two holes in the centre to pick it up with one hand. 👍🏻

👍🏻👍🏻 cheers pal.
Hello again mate. Been watching this a few times ahead of my next practice.
When you showed your phone with 17 mins on after applying the first coat, was that 17 mins from when you put your first bit on the wall? Or from when you finished mixing? I noticed you chatted to the camera for a bit after it was first mixed. Is it fine to sit in the bucket for a small while, and does it not go off anywhere near as quickly as when first put on the wall?
Hi Marcus
Looking at the video, at 17min point i had just finished applying the first coat. I had not mixed up for the 2nd at this point. If you are new to plastering you want to mix up when you need the plaster rather than letting it sit around. To give you as long as you can with the gear. Hope this helps.
@@AlexMorleyPlastering Sorry mate, I was referring to just the first coat. I just meant can it last a little while in the bucket and does your timer start once it hits the wall, or once it's mixed and sitting in the bucket? When I practice as soon as it's mixed I'm panicking it's already going off like a rocket just by sitting in the bucket, and I'm rushing to get it on the wall asap!
When exactly do you do the first wet trowel?
Have a look at the timing video we did. It should help you out.
i have a stainless steel and it take forever to brake in to trowel up with
Is a carbon steel trowel better than a stainless steel trowel?
It’s a bit of a personal preference. There is a video on the channel Carbon Vs Stainless. That goes through the pros and cons. But my preference- Carbon
Which trowel you using to do your 2 finishing trowels?
Most of the time I use a carbon steel trowel up to the final pass. Then run a Nela Plastic
If I use a flexible trowel it would be afte the 1st wet trowel. And most of the time it’s the Nela Midi. However we are resting out the refina Superflex 3.
Can you reskim new / old plaster that's not had any paint bare plaster as finnish is terrible
Yes you can. Just need to PVA 2-3 times to kill the suction
Do u know a link where i can get that long hop up from and wet brush? Cheers bud

@@AlexMorleyPlastering thanks mate just ordered one
Very good platform. We have a few of them. Thinking of buying the adjustable height ones aswell for higher ceilings
💯👍👍
Can't even use the tools properly or keep them clean let alone plaster.
