Blaine, I say it time and time again. You are a true craftsman of your trade. Takes a lot to go from tradesman to craftsman in my mind but you sir are beyond that. Love every one of your videos mate. Legend
Great work. I was telling my wife about venetian plastering last weekend & we watched your original vid. Good to see you back at it & showing us all how you're getting on with it 👍🏼
@@PlasteringForBeginners yeah I find that with normal plastering, therapeutic, how you can start with something so sloppy, then once it's all done it's so smooth. I don't get opportunities to practice enough, but I do enjoy a bit of plastering. I like what you've done, creating a space in the garage. Might have to give it a go myself! 👍🏼
Hello mate just wondering if you could help / advice about the Venetian plaster. Where do you buy it from I can’t get any of it online it comes up the paint version which I’ve tried and it isn’t as shiny. And what type of dye did you use can it be like black emulsion paint ? And do you have to use 3 coats or would you get away with a base coat then a finish on top. Thanks
You've inspired me to try this venetian plastering. I have one problem I don't understand! When I'm burnishing, I am getting spots that flake, have you got any ideas/tips to stop this?
hi Blaine, i am thinking of learning to do Venetian Plaster. how long did this wall take you from start to finish? and you don't have to give price per m2 but I gues you have to charge a lot more than you do for normal plastering! Cheers
Yooo sooo glad you've started doing venetian man! Been doing a bit myself but on sample boards. Wall looks great! Reckon you could do some content on microcement? Feel like it's going to make a comeback in bathrooms as it's 100% waterproof and cheaper than tiles
i keep seeing guys mentioning this in the forums but i always thought it was just some fad product but now ive seen this video im flabber gasted.... it looks mint.
On a related topic: a coupla years ago, after I'd skimmed my hall and landing, I was painting it with a matt, white emulsion, and because I still had my plaster tools to hand (months after the actual plastering! LOL), I wondered what would happen if I trowelled and polished the top coat of emulsion. I couldn't find anyone else mentioning it on the interwebs, so I assumed it would go horribly wrong... ...but to my amazement, it DIDN'T! I got a beautifully smooth, glassy finish - that was only marred by lots of grey swirly lines and marks in it, presumably cos my trowl was an old (but clean) one. If I had a brand, spangly new one, I'd have tried that. With my eyes shut, it felt like marble - but nowhere near as cold. It gave a finish that looks a lot like this one, but white (and grey). Have you ever tried "plastering" - and polishing - with emulsion paint? Has anyone? LOL
Yes I did my sons bedroom walls. My reason was I hate painting with roller or brush and just so happened to be looking at my trowel so I thought. Maybe i could skim the walls with emulsion. I actually put the paint on with the trowel. Dipped a brush in paint. Applied that to trowel and skimmed all walls. So flat, smooth no texture like a roller and does polish up like glass. Even though I used just 1 colour it still had that look of layers of a few tones of gray
@@ukvinersmart7571 Yep, that's exactly what I found. I assumed the grey swirls and strokes were due to an old trowel. One day I'll get a brang, spangly new one and give it a go. Wonder how it would work with a darker paint colour....
Lovely stuff, Blaine :) Where can you get the dye from, cos plaster is notoriously hard to tint to anything other than pastel shades, and that stuff seems to work well.
Hai taught myself mate. Just wanted to learn so I did it if my own back. Lots of failures and still lots to learn but I’m getting there slowly. I’m enjoying the process
I’m looking into it pal. I’m just doing it for fun at the moment mate - I’ve never had any enquiries. I’m just enjoying the process to be fair but I will do a course in the future 👍
@Plastering For Beginners the finish was good, shiny plaster. This is probably the hardest one to pull off (which you did), i.e., easily scratches as it shows up. As always, keep up the good work. 👍
It looks stunning
Blaine, I say it time and time again. You are a true craftsman of your trade. Takes a lot to go from tradesman to craftsman in my mind but you sir are beyond that. Love every one of your videos mate. Legend
Thank you very much. I really appreciate that - it means a lot and thanks for watching! Cheers 👍
Looks brilliant Blaine great finish
Thank you matey!
Great work. I was telling my wife about venetian plastering last weekend & we watched your original vid. Good to see you back at it & showing us all how you're getting on with it 👍🏼
Thanks pal! Still doing it - I actually enjoy doing it. Even if nothing comes from it, it’s therapeutic

It's Brilliant video Blaine well done
Thanks mate! I appreciate that, hope you’re well my friend
Looks mint fella getting the urge to have a go at this 👍
It’s good fun!
Nice one Blaine 🤘🏻
Cheers pal
Looks good, well done.
Thanks 👍
Love it
Cheers pal!!
Will you be offering a paid tutorial on this ?. This is something I'm really interested in adding to my skill set. Thx

Hello Blaine, did you prime the wall first before you applied?
please add links for the venetian plaster and tools used mate. great video btw!
It’s Venetian plaster from Imperia Italia. They do a starter kit there’s so I’d recommend buying that of your interested. They’re really helpful 👍
👏👏👏👏Awesome
Thank you! Cheers!
Can you put this on skimmed plasterboard?
You've inspired me to try this venetian plastering. I have one problem I don't understand! When I'm burnishing, I am getting spots that flake, have you got any ideas/tips to stop this?
Hi Blaine. Do you ever get much Venetian work?
Nice work my friend, keep it up 💪
Thank you pal 👍

Hello mate what dye can you use is it just like food colouring ? White emulsion? 🤷🏼♂️
Yooo sooo glad you've started doing venetian man! Been doing a bit myself but on sample boards. Wall looks great!
Reckon you could do some content on microcement? Feel like it's going to make a comeback in bathrooms as it's 100% waterproof and cheaper than tiles
I’m moving into that soon I hope - I’ve had more requests for that compared to Venetian. Literally no work demands for this stuff 😂
i keep seeing guys mentioning this in the forums but i always thought it was just some fad product but now ive seen this video im flabber gasted.... it looks mint.
It’s a crazy finish - surprises me seeing what can be done with this stuff. It’s a brilliant product!
Blaine have you tried using sanding pads before buffing yet 400,600,1000 really polishes it up,I use the mirka abranet/abralon pads 👍🏻
I haven’t to be honest mate, I’ll give it a go. Thanks for the heads up…still new to it really so learning as I go ha! Thanks again
Is there still a course?
Nice video great idea I try do this for my bathroom. Where you from get materiel? Thank you
Regard:
Ernest
Hi mate, great job!! Could you send me some links to the products you use please? Cheers
That looks bloomin awesome, bet theres some squeeky bum time when pulling the tape 😁
Haha exactly that mate. It was touch and go…especially since this was my first time doing it 😂
I'd love to see you have a stable at micro cement

Enjoyed this one, can you put links for the products to buy, wouldn't mind trying this in me bedroom. Finding it hard to get a decent supplier etc
Check out Imperia Italia - good place and very helpful.
Lovely stuff, Blaine :) Where can you get the dye from, cos plaster is notoriously hard to tint to anything other than pastel shades, and that stuff seems to work well.
It’s dye for Venetian plaster - specifically for this style of plaster. Look for Venetian plaster in Google and you’ll see what it’s about 👍
Hi Blaine looks great where can I get a tub of this and the dye please? Wanna give this a try ..
Great vid👌
Check out Imperia Italia - good lads 👍
I love it. Very clever, who taught you this, it's very Italian. Blain need to get back to people bud
Hai taught myself mate. Just wanted to learn so I did it if my own back. Lots of failures and still lots to learn but I’m getting there slowly. I’m enjoying the process
Please Blain do the professional course and learn how to do this properly with a Venetian Master.
I’m looking into it pal. I’m just doing it for fun at the moment mate - I’ve never had any enquiries. I’m just enjoying the process to be fair but I will do a course in the future 👍

Thank you mate! Much appreciated
STO does a similar system just takes forever to do a small area 👍
I didn’t know STO did this. I love their acrylic render systems…best on the market in my opinion. I’ll look into it, cheers
@@PlasteringForBeginners sure it's called stolit Milano 👍
Thanks mate...I'll look into it. Cheers!
Did you prime before the base coat???
Yeah you get a primer specifically for Venetian plaster. I’ll be honest, I can’t remember the name but I’ll check it out 👍
@@PlasteringForBeginners Thank you🙏 Is it quartz by any chance? Think Gian Sagasti mentioned that in one of his videos
Would you need to prime a painted plastered wall??
Yeah mate…there’s a specific primer but the name escapes me. I’ll check and put it in the description 👍
@@PlasteringForBeginners perfect thanks bud👌
Hi there, Blaine. Excellent work! Did you apply the Venetian over a painted wall, or that's just the colour of your primer?
Thanks
It was in fresh plaster but the base coat it white 👍
Mate class vid where can I learn vanician
There’s loads of courses in England mate. Have a look on Google 👍
@@PlasteringForBeginners cheers Blaine nice work btw
venetian plaster looks like oil paint being troweled onto walls
