- If you want to get an introduction to plastering a wall to a decent plaster finish, then you’ve come to the right place.
I’ve tried to go into a decent amount of detail to give you a quick crash course in plastering.
Obviously, you’re not going to be able to plaster perfectly after watching this, so I’d suggest going on actual plastering courses and getting hands-on if you want to get better at it!
Extra points if you count how many times I said “so” or “basically” 😅
I’m always after feedback to make better videos so feel free to leave a like and suggest anything you’d like to see.
Enjoy! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

You don't simply show and describe ''How'' , but you explain (which is most important) ''WHY'' ! An Excellent Video and probably the best I've watched so far . Bravo ! Greetings from Hellas (Greece) .
The Blue ButtoN I’m really grateful for your feedback. It’s so nice to read comments like this! Stay safe.
Very detailed, best I've seen 👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the kind words!!
Great vid plenty of detailed info top job
I appreciate that! 🙂
Wiping your trowel on the first trowel makes a massive difference after passing over the surface its improved my finish 👍👍👍👍cheers again
Very nice job! And I see you use a 'modeling' floodlight to throw light sideways across the wall, it's great for seeing how straight the wall surface is, & shows-up plaster bumps & lumps! I'm a joiner, & I use it for certain things on site.
Cool video bro. Its help me plaster my wall
Not bad at all mate👍
I use a belt sander to clean my hawk comes up like new in 10 minutes. Great video.
One of the best detailed plastering videos I’ve seen. Thank you, it’s a great help. I have been told that the plastiflex trowel is good for the final flat, have you tried it and what do you think as opposed to a steel trowel? Regards, Peter
Hi Peter, thanks for the love - it means a lot!
I have used plastic flex trowels before, they are really good. HOWEVER if the edges catch on nails or anything rough it can put little ‘dinks’ into the edge of the trowel which means you have to keep buying new sleeves because it’ll leave lines in your finish. So it’s better to get a steel one! A steel one will mean you can get more tension on your cross trowelling too as well as beating more hard wearing. So it’s a better investment!
Hope this helps.
Hi Jinger, thanks for your answer, it makes sense. I took a plastering course in Croydon a couple of years ago which was good, but you explained things much more clearly, giving reasons for your suggestions which helps a lot. Thanks again, Regards, Peter
Very well explained. When applying the second coat isn't it difficult to judge areas you might have missed?
By far the best plastering video on TH-cam. All the rest miss out vital tuition unlike this one. Nice one
That’s awesome to hear Clarkey!
Thank you for your kind words 🙏
Great video, very well explained. Quick question please. I plaster boarded my kitchen ceiling about 8 months ago, can I still plaster straight onto it, or would it be better to PVA it ?.
It should be fine to plaster onto without PVA. I’ve plastered onto boards of similar age before. They usually start to go a yellow-ish white colour as they age.
Thanks for the question! 🙂
Great video! You don't need to wait between 1st and 2nd layers of plaster?
Where did you purchase your hawk from ?
Your bucket trowel has had its own apprenticeship
What size trowels do you use mate? Very tidy work
Thanks Lloyd!
I use a 16" Marshalltown Permashape (It's around £55, but it's stainless so it doesn't rust) & an 18" Nela Flex 2 for cross trowelling.
I find bigger towels give better finishes but aren't as easy to learn plastering with.
Hope this helps!
Do you open your trowel more as the gauge goes on or keep the same angle throughout?
The trowel angle gets more shallow as the set goes on because it helps apply more pressure as you go. As you’re applying the plaster while it’s wet, the trowel is more ‘open’ so you don’t dig them into the wet plaster and scrape it off. Hope this helps!
So basically you want your leading edge as close to the wall as you can get ?
What sort of board u using as a spot board .e.g Osb ply ext. Cheers
Kieran Armistead I Used CDX Plywood for the spot & stand. I find it quite hard wearing and doesn’t swell too much with the moisture once it’s been used a few times. Hope this helps!
Come on Jinger! It's time you got your camera back out mate😃
I did some ceiling and after painting looks with a lot of waves why should this be?
Hi Alexander, it was either or trowelled with enough pressure or it could be down to the background not be prepared properly and may have caused area to dry faster while trowelling. The good thing about skimming is that you can just do it again over the top if you’re not happy with it.
@@jinger2224 so every time I trowel I have to do it with mild pressure? Or hard pressure?
😂 been doing it years ? Where’s the mega mixer lad
The trouble is by the time you’ve bought £250 worth of equipment… realise the ceiling needs doing first and then getting yourself up to neck in mess … it’ll cost twice as much to get a plasterer in. Who can do a large room in 2 days for £500
Don’t let the layers of plaster build up on your hawk. Clean tools spotless every time. Metal hawk is better
Hi Sean, thanks for the feedback. I agree with you about the clean tools!
Although sometimes if there’s a large quantity of plastering to do it can build up from time to time. The benefit of a plastic hawk is that when these layers are build up, you can bend the corners of the hawk and the plaster just cracks right off and leaves a clean hawk. They’re also more resistant to impact, weigh less and don’t bend out of shape. I’ve had mine for years and I’d recommend at least trying one out and see how you get on.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Why the annoying music? Had to stop watching to give my ears a break.
