Bought one couple of year ago, just for DIY for the family, still in the box, can't wait to use it. Bought stilts too, walking on stilts for two hours when not used to them is a killer, doing it while skimming a ceiling, with plaster going off...on your own is a bloody nightmare, shoulder got that sore it was a frozen shoulder within three months..., don't anyone let my tale put put you off tho.
I use a Festool 10.8v CXS screwdriver for my board work, it lasts ages on the batteries and weighs at least half of your combi drill, impact drivers are over used by most trades.
I'm going to use phenolic board. Get the insulation and board in one. So my trick will be to gently spray foam the board. Offer it up and let the foam spread and even up to the old ceiling, then screw in place. That will fill any bumps and hollows in the old ceiling. Which should prevent cracks.
16 inch the first red mark on the tape. this works for the 8ft ( 2440*1220mm) by 4ft plasterboard. Hany too is a stud detector, I normally run this to find fixing and screws. Then check for pipes and cables mark all with coloured flit tip pens. I have used a plasterboard hoist since 2010 and never user anything else again. Something else for high ceilings. Fixings, TREND makes a PZ2 tip that has a trumpet head so the power cannot go deeper into the plasterboard. Very handy.
I used to hire a board lifter for £30 for just one day or £55 for the week. I also used foam at the back of boards over rough artex to pack. No asbestos after 1986 that i knew of. Best not scrape though. My right elbow would pop then hurt when carrying boards on my own when i got to 50+. Good work
Have you ever worked with toupret joint skim & fill? Husband has seen some videos on it and it looks pretty good, he was thinking of using it in our bedroom to skim the walls since taking previous owners wallpaper has taken a few bits out the wall. Doesn’t need mist coated and doesn’t flash when you paint it compared to normal plaster apparently. Maybe try it out and do a video review? Thanks
Nice video Blain. Have you tried the stud buddy to find the joists, I’ve found it really good even on thick artex. I also swear by my board lifter, especially as a solo plasterer like yourself. 👍
Hi buddy, got a question for ya. First off your the reason I as a total plastering novice is going to chip off and re-rendering the pebble dash on my house. Here's the question. I'm using hp12 basecoat and I'd like to know how long you'd leave it before leveling it off. I've practiced on a garden wall and found that hp12 pulls clean off every time I use my feather edge any tips?? Plz lol
Board lift, Great for saving your shoulders for skimming later + it cuts out the labour ( Trigger )😉 Saves on picking up/ dropping off and buying him a Breakfast foll / skinny latte, if your a 1 Man band, compact bit of kit, store in lockup when not required
Hi mate! To be honest, I've never had any enquiries. It's good to learn but there's never been any demand for it. Saying that, I don't advertise it and we hardly live in a lavish area ha!
After watching this video is it OK to cover the old plaster board predated 2000, with new boards the way you doing it even though the ceiling is dipping in some areas 20mm and cracks of 2mm,
Ha, I got off Ebay, Prices were going mad just after all the lockdowns but one came up at £113 so I snappit up, listing jumped to £145 next day then £185 by end of the week. Just had a look, back down to similar prices now Jan 2024.
If you think there is any asbestos do NOT drill holes into it wether it's a small dose or not, asbestos is ridiculously harmful and WILL cause health issues, get rid of it completely and properly, I'm sorry but I had a family member who suffered with asbestos poisoning and I just cannot agree with the video on this one, asbestos should not be messed with if you don't know what your doing or have the correct equipment and ppe to remove it

Board lifter absolutely essential for DIYers. Brilliant for inclined ceilings too.
I got some small neodymium magnets from ebay. They can be used to mark the fixings when finding joists.
I guess they stick to the nails?
@@Jimfowler82 that’s right mate. Not the most world changing method but just makes things easier. We like easy!
@@pinkplonker8776it’s a good tip I’ll buy some, I need to overboard my flat soon so it’ll save me smashing holes in probably asbestos artex 🤣
Thanks for the video mate, do you have any tips for overboarding with coving? conscious it may not look the best

Hi Blaine. Do you still do the Venetian plastering? If so, is it quite popular?

Hey Blain long time hope ur good grate vid mate
Any plasterers in the Glasgow area looking to take a plasterer on own tools and drive love the trade want to make it a full time job

Did that price include materials, B?
Materials are not going to be any more than £90 so he will walk away with £250 a day after matts
Wondering why did you overboard? Is it not possible to skim that with a coat of thistlebond
Never plaster over artex
@@ianroberts5387why? I skim artex every week .....
Why? Genuine question @@ianroberts5387
@@ianroberts5387Nonsense. Vast majority are overskimmed.
Bollocks lad
I always hired these, then found one on Amazon for £110
