Not sure how I ended up here but nice to see younger gen learning the trade. I'm 54 and been in the trade to long lol. When I first started out as a labourer one job I hated was knocking up Browning/Hardwall as we didn't have a power whisk. It was done by hand in a bath mixed with a shovel and a rake. Then loaded onto a spot board. Getting shouted at all day by spreads to hurry up as they were on price work. It used to kill me. I would go home and tell my mum I hate this job and would never want to be a plasterer. The whisk came along and saved us all 😁
Massive respect mate! It sounded so hard back then and I think todays plasterers take it for granted! It was a lot harder so fair play. And thanks for watching…I really appreciate it 👍
Yeah the guy I used to labour for used to spit on the spot and say " I don't want to see that f@#ker all day! " 🤣🤣
I'm a 58 yr old yank and I used to mix mud/mortar in a tub with a masons hoe. First we'd sift sand and then put 14 shovels to two bags of Portland cement. Brick masons screaming all day! Lol I hear you.
Don’t I know it I’m 62 and had over 45 years of it but I’m not getting much work lately probably most the people I worked for are retired or worse and trying to get some to understand that they don’t need plasterboard to stick over nice new Block work even bad uneven walls easier to plaster and with sand and cement any painted walls a splatter dash before plastering will ensure it takes to that
Same generation more muck or more Donald working for 2spreads but they paid me on top of my day rate they was on price on the tools by 17
Came out beautiful man! I had crappy ceramic tiles in the kitchen of my house in Croatia and it was all old school solid plaster aswell. I was freaking out because after i took the tiles off it was all exposed stone, and i was thinking how the hell was i going to make a wall that smooth but after watching this i think i can do just fine. Thank you for posting, this is the only video ive seen on plastering solid, everyone usually does board underneath.
Great channel , I'm a painter by trade and my brother is a plasteter, but I also enjoy plastering.. learnt a lot from you mate 👍
Talk about a pro who likes his trade and does it with perfection. Bravo. The impossible wall became possible.
Lovely job and a great video to show just how much work it takes to straighten and prep a wall for the skim finish, people just dont realise.
Great spread good to see old school plastering I've been in the trade 35 years great video well done you 😊
You are the best Plasterer on TH-cam. I plastered my bathroom walls after watching a lot of your videos. Ceiling was really hard on my neck. Stiff for a week! Great teaching vids.
he really isn't
If he was, he would have scraped the damn pain off first
@@demukazz True 😂😂😂
Absolutely beautiful work.
I’m so impressed! Great video! 🙏🏻😊
This is so helpful! I wanted to fix a wall in a house I own in a village in Europe and this enlightened me. I am going to apply this knowledge soon and plaster a brick wall soon there.
How did it go? I'm scared to pull down my plasterboard and try this but I really want to
I'm a bricklayer by trade but I love watching your videos, A great tradesman and teacher
You are my go-to instructor. Thanks so much for this video. I have a few wonky old walls and this is exactly what I needed to know. 👍👍
Brilliant mate, really helping me and confidence in plastering my own place
Just found your videos and it's nice to see someone whom knows how to plaster old school. I live in a old ex MOD property from the 1930's it has lime plaster and needs some repair. I have asked around a few plasterers now and they have all said that they only know how to dot and dab plaster board with finishing coat plaster.
Always great advice and videos from you.
I learnt the trade from my brother and was in it with him for years,but it was during the time when it was all done by hand,and yes it was very hard work.He was a very good spread and use to say that you would find many as good ashim but not many better.We were subbies.
Great vid and superb work as always bud looking forward to the next one 👍
Thank you pal - I really appreciate that 👍
Im not a professional and i learnt 37 years ago using washed sharp, my mentor taught me by letting me only do reveals, it taught me how to keep the mix on a hawk and trowel.... this year having had a big extension built and having a team of plasterers come in i realised i needed to do the plastering, watching your vids has given me a great refresher and although nervous about it im going to attempt K render.

Nice work pal ! I watched a couple of your videos in preparation for plastering my staircase today for first time... I did alright, will need to get sander out when dry lol.
Great job Blaine, fantastic video too, very informative.👍👍👍
Thank you mate!
Great to see someone do a little bit of solid work.Top job m8 thx for sharing
Thanks for watching matey!
Wow you really put that on thick! That's amazing!
Amazing talent! Well done!
This has answered one of the questions I’ve been asking myself. I’ve been watching your videos on TH-cam and just signed up to your online course. I’ve just bought a house in Scotland that need quite a bit of renovation and I’m going to attempt to do it all myself. Every room needs some plastering work, some more than others. The best bit is, I’ve never done any plastering before but I want to learn. Most rooms have been plaster-boarded (by the previous owner), haven’t been skimmed but lining paper put on, scrim tape over the joints and that’s it, it looks terrible. One big wall in the living room is original old stone with old plaster crumbling and falling off it. So this video has answered my question of what product to use before using top coat plaster. Thanks for making this video, I appreciate it. I’m new to your online course and I’m about half way through the videos. I’m going to study them time and time again before I even think about attempting to plaster. I sent you an email a few days ago with more detail than this and would love some further advice from my new found plastering guru. Thanks again. 👍
Just bear in mind that gypsum may not be most suitable to older buildings in scotland
Have to consider the rising damp in old buildings, bridging the damp course (if there even is one) can be an expensive mistake....there's more to renovation that just a bit of plastering.
Superb. Very professional. Invaluable advice. Just a few questions if you would be so kind. 1)So long as you only build 8mm at a time can you apply deeper than the 25mm it states on the bag? 2) if you have to wait between layers say next day. Is it best to apply a 1 to 5 PVA mix prior to applying next or finishing layer and apply the plaster when PVA is still wet? 3) Many thanks 👍Tony
Great video maye it has helped me a lot. Keep up the good work
Another great job buddy
Wow what a great job
Stumbled upon this as i was getting lots of mixed msgs from tradesmen. Not only i enjoyed your video but feel maybe just maybe giving it a go myself for small wall. Noted your professionalism and dedication which i dont see much now a days. This over plasterboard anyday.
Excellent work thanks for sharing!
Thanks mate!!
You are my hero. It's great to watch a real plasterer, there are so many bodgers pretending to be plasterers.
Cheers mate! I really appreciate that!
Fantastic work and a great video. Thanks.
Thank you mate! I really appreciate that - it means a lot!
Absolute artist my man!
Luckily for me Blain,I'm plastering in the day and watching your videos by night, best of both worlds cheers buddy keep em coming 👍
Thank you for watching mate. I really appreciate it - cheers!
Just live at work 24/7 that must be a tough life
@@shootermcgavin8793 if you enjoy what you do, you never work 👌
Thank you so much been a great help not quite up to your standards but I’m happy with it I’m a 63 year old welder thanks again
Amazing as always
Thank you very much!!
brilliant job Blaine 👍👍
Thank you mate!
Was virtually spot on with the first coat as he showed with the level,should have skimmed that.
nice job, the wall looks great.
So satisfying to watch a professional craftsman at his trade. Perfection as always mate
PROFESSIONAL CRAFTSMAN??? Don’t make me laugh plasters are one step up from painters, I’ve been a joiner for over thirty years and the best plasterer I ever came across was a bricklayer by trade, the one and only time I didn’t have to scribe my boxing in to his wall because it was bang on level and plumb, and he mixed his sand and cement and finish by hand! Plus no speed skims or plastic trowels back then! Just a well worn steel ragni trowel and a level!
Love the videos Blaine, new subscriber! This reminds me why whenever I say to one of the plasterers I use, 'I wish I could do that', he always replies 'so do I' LOL
wow that is amazing work
fantastic.
Excellent presentation. A true professional and sets the high standard to which an apprentice should aspire.
Thanks mate. I really appreciate that 👍
Takes me back..it's all in the final noise.
I even remember jute scrim and clouds, we'll done sir a noble art indeed
Ha thank you my friend!! All the best
Great and educational videos. Thanks. Not watched all of them yet but would like to see how you plaster a very high wall and level it. Please attach a link if you have already done it. Also have you got videos on fitting edge beadings and then plastering/skimming them? Thanks for your very helpful videos, please continue to make them. 👍🏆
I learnt a lot thanks very much. I have a load of old walls to Plaster
Thank for watching my friend 👍
Great video can't fault your technique. Especially when you said usually you should float from right to left and using the D-float 👌🏿 that is correct.
Thanks matey!
Really good video on how to plaster for beginners awesome video 👍
Thank you pal!!
Damn Blaine, loving the upload rate!
And always just when I’m hours away from work! Perfect timing 😁
Haha thanks Marcus mate! I’m upping it whilst I can pal. Hope you enjoyed it my friend...all the best
@@PlasteringForBeginners Another world class output buddy. Damn, that was impressive. From rough bricks all over the place to like a sheet of glass at the end! Lovely!
I love float and set take it over board any day perfect results everytime for me love it hard graft but worth it 💪🏼

Cheers pal!!
Master craftsman 👏
Thank you!!
Nice work Nice guy
Great job mate
Thank you my friend!!
Great vid👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍
thanks - very useful tips
Thanks for watching!
Thanks very much
I honestly didn't think that wall could be fixed. The shinny high gloss paint and all the highs and lows on the wall. You did some amazing work on that wall. ❤
prior to apply gypsum plaster, you need at least 1 coat of PVA bond agent, (Thistle GypPrime), to prevent adhesion failures.
this is the best TH-cam video out there. It will one day be part of TH-cam Hall of fame. Plastering old properties is the best. and very beautiful. Could you do one project with lime plaster? If possible.
Thanks mate! There's a recent Lime Plaster video on the channel pal - check it out ;)
I always spray bit of hardwall on my water 😂
Graight vid though pal, nice to see other ways out ther😊
Wow, nice.
You my friend are a plasterer 👍
Nice to see a real plasterer coming from a 20yr veteren👍👍
Any chance you could do a video for beginners on plastering artex ceilings?
I have a few in my house (tested negative for asbestos)
Would love to have them smooth skim
I served my time as a wet spread in 1981.the days on the bath scarred me for life 😩 Friday used to be direct load day from British gypsum 44ton of carlite bonding/browning etc. we had to unload by hand and still keep in front of the spreads who unlike today had no mercy on apprentices. Hard times but taught me well and I went onto make a lot of money on the trowel over the years
That’s madness mate. Nothing but respect for that - sounds like real graft! Fair play for your time served and thanks For watching. I really appreciate it 👍
No fun mixing browning in a bath with the shovel is it
Great video. Makes me feel I ca give it a go! But would there have been any additional value in doing this with lime plaster to allow the bricks to breathe? Thanks
Best plastering video I've seen
Thankyou for such a great vid. is it ok to use this hardwall plaster straight onto wall outside? If not what is best? Thanks
Thanks so much - great videos! I have a room that I'm going to attempt to do myself. The walls are made from slate and are very uneven. I don't want to use pasteboard because you get that hollow feel not in keeping. Would Hardwall be good for this do you know - or bonding plaster? I seem to remember using Hardwall before and found that it sagged (but maybe I made the mixture too wet!). Many thanks.
I remember a plasterer useing grey carlite bonding on a full ceiling and skimmed it
Possibly demonstrating setting out screeds using box method for beginners
If you had outward corners in a situation like this, would you lay the hardwall first, then bead on of that? Or extra thick bead from the beginning? (I'm doing a brick fireplace)
Hi, great video… would you please recommend a ready mix? (as I’m not confident mixing the gypsum myself)
Great video 👌good old float and set
Thank you mate!!! Hope you’re well 👍
Yea I’m good cheers stil going 9 months in to plastering can u put pva on the hardwal to help the suction or not as already damp
It’s a life saver seeing stuf in your videos being able to use them in real life 😂 but thinking of trading my suplflex for a nela flex due to sometimes makes a vibrating noice and leaves like ripples witch don’t no why
How many bags of hardwall did u use looks big wall
I have a question, on the landing of my block, a town house converted into flats , there's an old wall that's not been sorted out when the decorators did the rest of the building.
You can see holes through the render (which I patched up today with polyfilla) which was an old lath and plaster method.
There's some finish coat left on the wall so I want to go over the render and match it to that.
What would you recommend as I'm a doing first time ever plaster
Alright Blaine what’s your thoughts on using a serrated edge refina for floating backing coats. Would it be more work than a standard feather edge
Before you start your 1st coat, would you usually just wet the wall down with a water sprayer or would a weak coat of pva do the job (also keeps the dust down) cheers.
There was very little or no dry lining going on 36 yrs ago when I started out as a young plasterer! Though would always agree that a solid wall is better than dry lined. When you tap dry lined it always sounds hollow! Though my point here is to say that if a wall is rough then maybe the easiest way is to just dot and dab board over it? This method is fast, and clean. You can of course then skim it but I notice that many new domestic builds, all they do is tape and feather joints out with NO SKIM? Though If this is done properly you just won't see the join! Proactivity and ease of system on site will always win over what we might prefer!
You are right mate. Ease will always win on site. But I must admit that I much prefer this method - it’s so much stronger and it’s a lot more enjoyable than just skimming. But that’s me...I rarely do float and set now to be honest so I love it when it comes!
I believe there’s a difference between the craftsman’s eye and the client’s eye. Even the best taped joints can be seen from certain angles where a skim covers all if it’s good. It’s like the difference between frozen chips and real tatties: nothing wrong with frozen, but you can’t beat the real thing. Just my POV.
@@gerarddunmoore7609 Indeed!
lovley job spot on👍🏻
see you use sbr, can that be used before re- skimming over old plaster?? or is pva better.
Cheers pal!! SBR is ok but I prefer PVA personally 👍
Great video. I want to plaster my cellar. Its a bit damp. What would you recommend. Old brickwork
I need to repair a small patch of plaster on a brick wall in my bathroom but it needs to be 30mm thick so would you think hardwall will be fine if I layered it up or would I need to use sand and cement.
Would PVA on the hardwall before the multi not ease the hardwall sucking out the water or better still SBR?
How thick can you apply drywall in 1 st hit, I need to do a brick wall that is part plastered, the plaster & scratch coat could be 3cm higher or more in places. Any advice would be great
Can you sbr hardwall the following day to increase working time and control the suction? Can render and plaster but don't have the speed from doing it every day.
Hi Blaine great video again. Could you have used screed bars (dot and screed) here?
I've always 1 coated hardwall and filled the vallys as I rule off using a H section refina straight edge for the ruling, because I find it easier to grip... Mind you the walls have never been that bad 😆
I remember plasterers onsite only doing one coat with hardwall, but this was on new blockwork.
👍👍👍
That looks hard work?.. Great job..
