When I was serving my time and starting out I remember the nightmare of knocking up bags of browning in a bath with a shovel that was an eye opener but it was over 20 years ago 😂 not in the plastering game any more but came across your channel and great videos keep up the good work mate 👍
Great video. Definitely picked up a few extra tips which other videos never mentioned. This is why multiple videos on the subject by different people can only help.
Another great video Alex, used your corner trowel technique must say it was much better than mine so big thanks for that, keep up the good work
Thanks mate fantastic
Haha I remember suggesting this a week or so back, and here it is!
You and many others I’m afraid. 😂😂
Not used a hippo tub in years forgot about the tiny bit of plastic in my top coat
Mix it with a length of roofing batten and a podger old school style ......sort the men from the boys 😁
I've been doing that today. Knocked 3/4 of a bag up with a piece of roofing lathe as I couldn't be arsed dragging the extension lead out for my mixer. 👍😁
@@neilmuir2752 If my mixer broke I would just go home . 😁
@@ianturner8459 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, thats all we new back then. But it did make you fit and strong.
Great video again mate
Where did you get the quick release attachment from for the mixer ?
Cheers
I would be interested to know your thoughts on the right amount of plaster for different size M2 areas? And also how consistency would look if you need a “wet plaster”, “standard plaster” or a “stiff plaster” and when you would use them? Cheers mate great video again!
Hi Alex. What's your opinion for adding dish soap in plaster?
Cracking Vid Alex! Ive got same size paddle you have in vid... I use a 50 litre tub and I only ever mix tops 1 bag. This bucket is obv too big but I dont mind it...just splashes are a problem. You reckon if I got a setting bucket 30 Ltr it should minimise the splashing?
Also If I can keep the same size mixing paddle for the 30 ltr bucket that'd be handy...know to go at low speeds like you did in video. Please let me know thoughts mate... cheers, Aidan
Where did you get the quick release attachment for your DeWalt mixer? I didn't know the paddles could come off that easily lol That's well handy.

I’m now an old beginner and managed to successfully, if I can say so, finnished some smooth full bodied plasters walls. Very satisfying, however my biggest weakness is whne it comes to mixing. I find this a stressy bit of the game. I don’t mix whole bags up as the areas aren’t big and I always have waste. I wish British gypsum could make a small bag of plaster instead of the 25kg, is this just me??
They do, it’s a 12.5kg bag of multi, undercoat and one coat plaster
Hi Alex, Ive often heard the term used of over mixing the plaster. Can you explain that in laymen terms please, does mixing for too long have an effect on the plaster. Many thanks.
I have heard this term aswell. My honest thought being that the general spinning up of plaster which is at the correct viscosity doesn’t massively make a huge difference. However it does beg the question if it’s mixed correctly to the right consistency why are you still mixing it.
That said adding water, then powered over and over, going stiff then wet multiple times does make the plaster going off very quickly. This in my opinion is over mixing.
Hope this helps.
Mixing the plaster will create more particle to collide making it react quicker!? Hence the work life diminishes
@@AlexMorleyPlastering As a novice DIY plasterer, I definitely mixed several times in stages with a drill/by hand, but I can't say I noticed any difference in the setting time. I've now done enough plastering to know it's just not worth the effort, and of course, that a faster mix is always preferable to a slower one. But still, I would be interested to see an experiment that settled this one. Perhaps this would be an interesting future video? Do some different mixing methods and measure how it affects the set time? 😁
I'm really no expert on the chemistry, but as I understand it the wet mix is (to simplify a little) essentially just a solution of the gypsum in water. If I had to guess, it seems that as long as the mix remains wet, mixing in stages shouldn't matter too much. I guess it's plausible that if the mix got too dry it might allow little crystals to start forming sooner than normal, though?
Puts heat into it ,,, those tall buckets don't help as is keeps the lower section hot as everyone picks out of bucket these days
When you say 2 buckets. How many litres is that equivalent to? 👀
i wonder if eddie hall would be able to hold the paddle end of a dewalt cordless and take the torgue of it if it was dialed up full whack spin.
12l bucket of water?
