  • In this video we are looking at how you blend plaster (also know as feathering plaster) when doing patch repairs, so when it’s all painted it looks like the whole wall was plastered.

    Its rarely economical to patch up. The time u spend pissing about blending it in.... is almost the time it takes to flatten and trowel up a set. Great vid as always.

    Brilliant mate. I got taught the same way by a guy recently and it's a game changer but not as easy task to learn. Harder than just doing the normal hit of plastering.
    Great video mate also keep up the good work very inspiring as im very passionate about my trade 👌

    I do repair patches alot and use polyfilla power mix to make fine edge on multifinish plaster. I use kitchen sponge to blend. As I normally paint wall after repair two coats on edge across new and old guarantee perfect job. Great job a lot of people say it will always be seen they are wrong.🤣

    Is the wall prep the same? PVA the wall the width your going to feather? Or is PVA not required? Not PVAing around window reveals over old plaster after a while the plaster would become lose.

    Flexi trowel for blending in .... best things ever for parching .And always blend onto PVA.

    Anyone answer pls?
    Could I do this method by knocking back up the first mix? Dont see why I couldn't but thought to ask.
    Also...I plastered a wall and architrave jad to be taken off later date so parts of plaster burst...can I smooth them out using this method by blending into the plastered wall? (Not painted yet)

      That’s the general rule we apply. From
      Start to finish.
      We recommend
      10cm first cost.
      20cm second coat.
      30cm fine will with fat.

    Is board finish better for this feathering as it's less gritty ? Just a thought. Great video.

      @AlexMorleyPlastering  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep. Definitely would give a good finish. Unfortunately I didn’t have any on the job. But it would have probably been our preferred if we had the option

    I find with blends that the customer needs to be warned that if theres not enough paint on the roller, the roller can be sticky and rips the plaster clean off.

    • @AlexMorleyPlastering
      @AlexMorleyPlastering  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Very good point. We usually recommend to brush PVA over the blend first to seal it as they do tend to pull up on the roller.

    Hack off the existing skim back a few inches then bead the corners skrim if necessary then prime it and match back to existing plaster technically this guy is wrong it's the lazy way to match in plaster
