For a proper realistic trade quality finish you need to leave loads of thick sludge running over the skirting and splashed over the door frame, a bead of it on the underside of coving, plenty of splashes over the walls, and corners with trowel marks all down them, all for the painter to put straight....oh and leave loads of it over the floor for someone else to clean up...then you can call yourself a proper plasterer! :-)
😂😂😂
You just described my son, the amount of arguments we have over this, you slow old b******d etc, yeah, but at least i don`t spend half a day cleaning up after myself.
Hahaha how very true. You also need to leave a big dent in your wallet!
You forgot to fill in all the plug sockets too.
Don't forget to pour the excess skimcoat down the sink and toilet and wash off all of your tools and buckets near the the garden tap leaving that corner of the garden looking like you are heading towards the light.
If Roger Daltery and Michael Hutchence had been plasterers 😆

I’d employ in a flash my whole house would need skimming 😉😏😁

Hi Roger, great channel and I love your honesty. Vids like this allow DIY enthusiasts to have a go. It might take longer but there's no reason why they can't achieve a good finish. It's sharing thoughts, skills and ideas like you do on your channel that will get the people interested in DIY again. Most of my mates can't even use a lawn mower! If you ever want a trip to South Wales I have plenty of work you can help me with. I'll even get them to waiver the bridge toll for you! You and Robin keep up the good work.
Yes Pouse! Big fan of your vids - the chin gurn technique was invaluable!
@@joshuasweet4499 makes the finish better
Yeah give it a try, but if you actually have to look at that wall every day and you don't mind it looking like a climbing wall don't bother get someone who knows what they are doing.
@joshuasweet4499 hope the gurn worked out for you 👍
Great video. I’m multitrade.
I still find sponge float , speed skim and 2 coat plaster works best for me. So trowel first coat the speed skim. Second , speed skim , sponge float , flex trowel, wet trowel then polish.
Love your skills and experience Roger.
An awful lot of panting and scraping the speed skim crap learn to plaster in a day my arse looks like they are rendering an outside wall the guy must be good at photography but his plastering skills will never develop
Rodger do a new video how to fuck up a wall in a day ,you say if I can do it anyone can do it Rodger believe me you can't do it ,take up knitting or baking plastering is not for you
They don't show it but I think his mixing was off. I see a lot of bumps.
Tape first guys!!!! Apart from that its a cracking job......well thats what stevie wonder said anyway.
Telling people to buy the posh trowels but cant spend a tenner on some scrim tape.
Some good quality 2000 grade lining paper will help once the plaster is dry ;)
All the professional plasterers piping up saying its crap lol. Chances are the first walls they did were pretty shit aswell, this video is a simple tutorial vid to encourage others to learn how to do your own plastering. Oh yes forgot plasterers are born professional...... BS. Good job guys
I'm a plasterer and to be honest, odd little walls like this aren't worth a plasterers time really, so if it helps people to do little areas themselfs then all well and good. The only danger I see is people buying a bucket and trowel and taking on some poor buggers whole house. Also I use feather edges and derbys but just might give that speed skim a go. Cheers rog
Where’s the skim tape on joints ?
You missed it
I'm still plastering after 47 years and i don't hate you, Roger,I love you because you make me look quite good Roger :). These videos are very helpful for people having a go at different trades though
Yes these videos are very helpful if you want a laugh I just hope Rodger does not do a video on how to become a brain surgeon in one day
42 yrs a carpenter , done miles of drywall jionting but only ever bodged my own bathroom plastering , this vid has given me tbe confidence to do a coiple of bedrooms at home ....many thanks you both for a exellent and entertaining tutorial , top blokes👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video really helpful! I 've just plastered a wall 10 'by 10 and it's come out really well!
The speed skim and the sponge float were the tools that made it all possible!
You need to scrim the joints, personally I prefer to use the level 5 finish these days it gives a better finish, normal plastering which I’ve done since 16 (40 now) is good and I do use a ox speed skim and Graco metal blades to polish off but the level 5 stuff is so nice to work with and if you’re shoulder is ruined like mine then you can sand… to make it absolutely perfect
Excellent video and the finished result looks great to me. Bet all these plasterers on here writing salty comments are the same ones who either don't turn up or turn down work unless it's a full house they can plaster on a day rate. I learnt to do my own plastering after being let down time and time again and in all honesty it's really not difficult to get a half decent result. Vids like this really helped, thanks again Rog. 👍🏻
Sorry mate but customers don't want a have decent finish like you they want a full decent finish anyway must dash off to do a bit of brain surgery I wached one of Rogers videos on how to be a brain surgeon in a day
LOL TBF you sound like a plasterer ‘that bits behind the skirting, so we’re not too worried ‘ 😂
So true, have to knock the snots off at the edge
Want to see a plasterer run, mention shadow gaps!
Carried out in a messy way but you can't argue with the end result, it looked pretty good. Take that f*cking light switch off though man!
Can't argue with the end result? Man are you blind????? Take a look at 38:49. This is bad even for a DIY'er.
That's for the spark to worry about🤣👍x
Looks OK to a blind man on a galloping horse on a foggy day! Good effort and enjoy the videos keep up the good work. 👍
Haha. Great comment. Great video thanks roger
Haha love this
It sort-of reminds me of this "one easy lesson" story:

Have a lie down.
@noxxi knox 42:05
WTF has that been edited in??
yes I see it to, a baby's face right at the end on the plastered wall, was it an edit?
at 42 minutes top section of the wall, strange.
100% yes that's edited it. Why? No idea
Thanks for a great tutorial. Step 1 get the plaster on the board. Step 2 take the long edge to skim off the the hills and fill the valleys. Step 3 take the sponge trowel to make it flat. Step 4 take the nylon plastic trowel to make it smooth. Step 5 take the German stainless steel trowel to create a mirror smooth finish. I am never going to be at the mercy of a professional plasterer again. Thanks a lot.
Never in all my time plastering have I seen such an effort as this and I've been plastering for nigh on 2 weeks now.
Ive told you a million times to not exaggerate!
😂
I’m afraid I can hear the Plastering police coming!!
Giving this a like purely for baiting the plasterers who have nothing better to do with their lives than watch plastering videos on TH-cam and making salty comments :) Nice one Rog'.
Did he get it perfect? No.
Did he learn somehting? Yes.
Did he have to pay some coke snorting, Monster energy swigging, 2 GSCE achievin' chimpanzee to do it for him? No! = win
😂🤣
@Day2Day Spreads No money for "sugar"?
Theres always Juan... 😂😂
Good on ya mate !! My thoughts exactly... 😎👍☘️
In all honesty this isn’t bait for me as a plasterer. These videos are great for people like me. Probably 30% of my work is going to homes to correct work which people have had a go at. I can generally earn more from jobs like that. The other one is foreigners and 3 day course plasterers we did a house 3 weeks ago that needed every wall taking back to the brick and ceilings re-boarding. The skimming looked like artex. Its a gold mine for me personally and other plasterers! As for your 2 GCSE comment maybe check your spelling!
Plastering is a city and guilds level 3 course which takes around 3 years and you can do a further 2 years if you want to go into management. I dont get your monster energy swigging comment, so if you walk past someone drinking a can of monster you judge them for what exactly? Having a drink. Why drugs comes into it I dont know maybe you have a habit which is why you are thinking about it!
Most decent plasterers who work on sites or for any large contractors cannot take drugs as drug testing is heavy now in the construction industry because of accidents on sites over the years due to drugs. Ive had 2 this year so far and a couple last year. Most construction related employment contracts have a section which states you can be subject to random drug testing at any time. As for plasterers having nothing better to do with their lives watching youtube videos, well most of these videos come up due to related plastering searches. Your just as bad if not worse watching them especially if your not a plasterer! How you found it I dont know! I totally agree with you saying nice one Rog! Hes earning plasterers good money hopefully he moves onto ceilings. The decorator will be happy when he needs to spend hours sanding down around that light switch. Doing it like that it wont sit flush and will probably stick out a mile. So just to be constructive for others having a go remove all switches and sockets so it sits flush. Remove all of the skirting boards not just half off it the joiner will go crackers when he tries to put a new piece on up against whats there and it sits proud because the wall is 2 different depths at the bottom. He will have to remove it all and probably damage the newly plastered wall then have to pack it out leaving a nice big bead of decorators caulk to hide the massive gap! Remove the architrave too it will make my life easier when I come and redo it all and please pick the biggest wall in the house not the smallest its more money for me.
Well done Rog keep up the good work, please share these videos with your friends and give it a big thumbs up I have!
@@leemurf2322 no offense to plasterers (even though I'm a sparks and you lot are the bain of my life I spend a good portion of my working life just digging out your plaster from back boxes) I got enough respect for you it's an art to get right but why does it take 3 years to get a city and guilds in plastering? I understand taking years for plumbing/gas and electrics because there is a large amount of stuff to learn but with plastering realistically once you've learned how to board, mix up and spread then what is left to learn? Surely it would be just practicing the technique on different surfaces 3 years seems a bit excessive IMHO
One of the greatest Cons in our lifetime is “procedure” or how the professionals do xyz. If you can achieve a safe, effective result that is just as strong, resilient and attractive as the pro’s , then how you choose to do something is totally up to you….especially HOW you live your life.🙏
As a decorators all i see is a load of filler, sanding, more filler, more sanding, 1st coat of paint, re fill, sand and that'll make you look good
Yeah always left to use decys to make the trades look good..
I'm well aware that a real plasterer will achieve a much better result than this but having just been quoted £6,000 for sorting out one room in my house (3 guys over 2 days apparently) I've decided to accept a less than perfect result and save myself almost all of that money by having a go myself. Plasterers need to understand than perfection is something that should always be aspired to, but is not always necessary, or affordable.
Great video. I've marvelled at the plastering I've had done in the past and have always said that the one thing I won't do is plastering . But out of the blue I find myself gutting a house at an age when I should be dividing my time between the tennis club and golf course. I'm now an avid Skill Builder viewer and after watching this video, and with the souring cost of trades and materials (2022), I'm going to tool up and do it myself. Not looking forward to doing a ceiling though.
do you not scrim the joints before plastering to help stop cracking
I'm not a plasterer but I don't think they get enough credit in my opinion. I've plastered chases in the past which is as far as I'd go, perhaps small plaster patches, but as far as skimming I'd leave it to the pro's. A good plasterer makes it look effortless.
We watch them coz we love a wind up.been plastering since 76.these things are great entertainment.keep doing them.
Video editor put the strange looking face on the plaster around 42.03 mark ! 😁
I,m a decorator and you want to see some of the walls and ceilings I,ve had to paint after so called "plasterers". There are some good ones and there are a lot of shit ones. We are all learning every day.
I am also a decorator and 99% of the walls I paint have been plastered by a 'professional plasterer' and the majority are uneven. Maybe it is the lack of pride in their work!
I've just had to skim and sand a ceiling after a so called excellent plaster had butchered it!
I feel your pain. Usual phrase you hear is " Leave it for the decorator, next job please". What joy. To be fair it is magic to watch a decent spread, deffo an acquired art, not everyone can do it.
Yeah mate, and you tube will tell the world that your trade can be learned overnight. Painting walls and ceilings? Easy.
@@alanbartlett9523 Hi
Yeah the decorator has to make everyone else's mistakes right first to make his/hers finished job look perfect for the client. As I am the decorator I got fed up with lousy quick finishing plasterers leaving a bad job for which I then had to put right so I could at least get paid for my part of the job. At which point I decided to learn this technique myself, did a 3 day course and it was enough to be able to complete jobs with, I do wish this guy Roger had been on here before, adding the odd joke helps with the presentation of all his videos. Great to have an everyday tradesmen portray this task with the detail required even if he has left a few things out, but then that's experience and practice and finding our on path in whatever we do.
People are wrong to criticise everyone needs to learn from the baseline first.
On the plastered wall at 49.10+
What is that!! Spooky 🤣🤣
I've just seen it, it's like a childs face .
Faded in and out, why?
A little bit off topic, I had a leak on the same ceiling pattern and have had to re board a1m square section. How can I blend in the repair without redoing the whole ceiling?
That gotta be the worst plastering i've ever seen!!
You need to get out more.
@@SkillBuilder It did come out good in the end though. Fairplay.
I have as a diver plastered my share of walls to what I think is a very good standard, but my best tip? Use a torch or something (in at the end, close to the wall and swing along. It will show any horrors
Good to see Roger putting plasterers out of business as well as plumbers!
Well done guys, great video. I wish i could of given 100 likes instead of just 1. Maybe in some peoples eyes you did it all wrong but it all worked out in the end. Why don't those that criticise launch their own channel and teach us all how to do it better. Keep up the great and educational content.
Any prizes for spotting the monkey in the plaster at the very end?
That Rogers reflection you can see what a fucking arsehole,his next video is how to be an asshole in a day as he says if I can do it you can do it😂
Came here for the comments, not disappointed. Plasterers are the Prima Donnas of the building trade.
You wouldn't last one day as a plasterer you big fanny

There’s no cheats in plastering stop trying to teach people my trade
Brilliant video guys! Roger your a great teacher. Very patient and very positive which definitely helps lift spirits when your trying to learn something new. Ive subscribed and will definitely be watching your other videos! Well Done Ben!
No plasters were harmed in the making of this video... but many died watching it! lolz, cheers, and thanks for making videos that us other idiots can follow and have a go at.
IMPORTANT: Continuously clean and wet sponge to get the best finish
I do my own plastering at home unless the job is too big. Obviously I'm not as quick as the experts which is why I pay for a qualified spread if I need to. My plastering isn't like a babies bum but then the good Lord gave us the orbital sander and skim plaster should we need it. 😁
I actually quite enjoy plastering and rendering and by the time they are decorated and finished I feel quite proud.
Good vid that one. I expect there was loadsa flack from the proffesionals as usual.
I might buy one of those flexi trowels. 👍👍👍
PS, what are the differences between bonding, browning and hardwall??
Doing our house we employed 4 "professional" plasterers who all turned out to be not much good. Sign written vans, good rating on their trade profiles online but their work turned out to be below acceptable and the subsequent trades men like the chippy's and decoraters comment on how crap it was and resulted in them having to get around the mistakes. I like this video as it shows how it should be done and the guy doesn't pretend to know it all.
Believe me,this is not how it's done.
ash wednesday, how is it supposed to be done then ?
@@tearipper
He should of unscrewed the Plaster board and packed it out so it's flush with the existing wall.Would of taken about 10 minutes.Scrim all joints,score the existing wall and PVA it.
Then just basic plastering with a two coat multi finish,the whole job would be finished in 3 hours.
You can't teach novices to use a Speedskimm and Sponge float when they can't even plaster it's just complicating the issue and to be honest quite unnecessary.
The main problem is that the bloke teaching the plastering has an awful technique.He can't even get it off the board without using the tip of his trowel,does make me laugh though,the blind leading the blind.I even like Roger as a presenter but this one was a step too far.
Fuck it's the devil himself freaky
Not you Rodger 4.2 min in
Great video
That plasterboard should have all been scrimed before bonding
It makes zero difference. Think about it.
It will in a few more months time, when it shrinks and then cracks at those joints. That's why the proper job, is to use scrim. Always! Other than that, great effort. 😉👍
@@markoconnor5662 matey didnt even have a bead on the corner like wtf ????
Cheers mate as ive just agreed to do my uncles place done patch ups nut not a whole eall amd i have few to do and ya right , my old man who’s a builder got the right hump when i said I’ll have a go it can’t be that hard, I’ll find a vid on TH-cam and learn 😂 he went nuts so cant wait to show him lol
Another great video! Your channel is helping me so much, I’m renovating our house at the moment and I’ve been watching all of your videos. I’ve put skirting on, hung doors and done a spot of plumbing too. Takes me a long time but the results I’ve got are really good and with videos like this to help it gives you confidence to try new things. Keep it up guys can’t thank you enough.
Really I'm not a plasterer but you're making me look good
Great video, thanks. I know nothing about plastering but I think I would have removed the light switch.
You are not wrong.
you prob still know nothing after watching this lol
@@SkillBuilder My limited experience from my own house is real plasterers fill all the boxes in, or leave a tiny hole and its the electricians job to dig it out, because of the many extra hours it would take the plasterer to avoid filling the hole in. Also trapping wires in the ceilings without even marking where they are because of the immense effort it would take to cut a hole in the plasterboard as you're fitting it, while the electrician can find the trapped wire and cut it much quicker than anyone else, somehow.
Why they don't all work together to get the whole job done quickly beats me.
Skill Builder hi quick question, is it normal to get hairline cracks in new plaster?
@Tony Brammer What would you do differently?
One word !!! Shocking
Speaking as a plasterer why are you bonding boards. Lol
Because there is a lip in it and that lip is too big for finish. You should know that Bonding boards is legit or maybe you have never read the BG White Book
Wow, good comedy video, made me laugh, probably the worst plastering lesson ever
I agree but it is bodger Frisby and that lesson was absolutely shocking😅
if youre actually a good plasterer worth yoiur salt why would you worry about lesser quality work?
You care because your customers watch stuff like this or HGTV and think it is remotely accurate and judge you based on comparison to it.
Nice to see someone that’s NOT a plaster teaching plastering never heard so much shit in my life
Hi roger . Little tip for you roger if you want the plaster to go off quicker on them one wall jobs is to use some of the previous mixed up plaster in your second mix for the top coat . It can make it go off and trowelable in about 10 - 15 mins , instead of the hour or so it normally takes . but then again i wouldnt advise it for amatuers cos you have to work damn fast when it does go .
I think i would have taken that light switch off the wall though instead of trying to work round it and getting it all dirty ..Also the bloke doing the wall in the bathroom , i didnt see him put scrimm or anglebead on the corners of the wall, maybe he did but i didnt see it .. I do like the sponge float as we never had that in my day .. we had to go up the wall with a wet paintbrush in one hand and follow with the trowel in the other hand . with all the new tools they have now i wish i could do plastering again as best job i ever had but its taking its toll on my body after carrying 50kilo cement bags up 3 flights of stairs etc
@@ampsVoltsNutsBoltsyes before EU changed it to 25kilo bags everything was 50 kilo bags,, cement and bags of sand
We used to carry to 50kg bags of cement one on each shoulder upstairs in Italy unfortunately 😮. Right donkey work.
listen... if people out there want to try plastering..let them, will it be the best plastered wall? maybe not but if there fine with that then who am i to say anything. Im a plasterer myself,, i enjoy watching plastering videos just because im interested in it. these guys done a fine job imo.. some people cant even get it on the wall. Its a very different story when you need to skim ceilings etc.. bigger walls,, timing, experience all comes into plastering. If your wanting your walls looking picture perfect even when the sun hits it, get a plasterer in.. if you dont mind imperfection go for it.
I spackled a wall and when the sun came in thru the door it was horrible. You aren't lying when you talk about the sun. The sun will show you the truth. All others need not apply.
One of the last things my dad did for me was plaster my kitchen ceiling before he died. When the sun comes in I see all of the imperfections and it makes me think of him. Don’t wanna get it skimmed over. He did a 6 week plastering course and still found it very difficult to do the ceiling so I totally agree with you. I’m a decorator so I’m watching this video to learn but still, even in a month or more, I would still get someone in to redo anything big.
@@jamesmcconnon2
Sorry about your dad mate appreciate you posted this a year ago.
Yours is one of those situations where something imperfect is in actual fact, perfect.
Enjoy that imperfect but perfect ceiling and the memories it brings 👍🏻
next time remove the switch and everything good , good job !
painful to watch sorry guys,something uniquely annoying about a non plasterer attempting to teach a surfer how to do a 2 min bonding job
Roger more like learn to be an arsehole in a day and you are good at that
Smashing, thank you. You explained the processes, the finishes, the tools and the problems, which is perfect for me, the beginner. You also gave tips on how to address my artex ceilings, giving me the confidence to tackle first, my small downstairs loo.
Great job Ben, fingers crossed my work is half as good as yours. Thanks gents.
Thanks Cheryl
I am sure you will enjoy it
To be a plasterer roger says you must be able to spin the hawk on your trowel i would have got a kick up the arse from the plasterer who was teaching me if i did that if you want to spin something join a circus
Oh dear, a person with not sense of humour
Should always use scrim tape for your plasterboard joints, before applying any plaster,
As what sometimes happens, if you don't use scrim tape n apply plaster where plasterboard has been cut (or not factory edges) the water from the plaster can get in between the two sheets from the plasterboard n cause mould/fungi to later form on the surface of the plaster,
Also it's better to place plasterboards in a staggered pattern as they should not have cross joints, 👍🏽
Like your videos tho
32:41 😆😆😆😆 sorry
Plastering is indeed a true art form, I can get by but I think this is a great video to help people learn and the more things you can learn in life the fuller your life will feel, yes its not perfect but if it works why geton your high horses and knock it...credit where credit is due....never ever try to knock someones confidence on trying to better themselves!!!
A great video as always Roger, but your Refina Fine Sponge Float link is to a medium grade sponge - not a fine as you indicate. Were you using the fine as you say in the video, or the medium grade that your link goes to? I ask as I have a whole house to plaster and want the right tools before I start.
I'm off to buy shares in EASYFILL😉
That is good because I own the company
@@SkillBuilder this time next year we'll be millionaires 😂
@@SkillBuilder hi roger, I know you get a lot of stick over this video and I couldn't resist the easyfill comment, plastering is not my trade but like a lot of people i myself have taken the bull by the horns and done a fair bit myself, mainly thru sheer frustration of never being able to get hold of a good spread when I needed one especially for small jobs extensions ect. Being a small outfit I hadn't the temperament to be pissed about by anyone as cash flow is your biggest enemy in a small business, everyone has to start somewhere but I totally get where the time served professionals are coming from good spreads are ALWAYS busy and there not going to pull off big jobs or let there regulars down for a small job and rightly so. I'm sure the people your videos are aimed at singing your praises and for you that's all that matters,keep doing what you're doing mate it certainly entertaining regards Pete. Oh before I get a lecture from THE PROFESSIONAL TRADESMAN you have my total respect it's a highly skilled job and you have reams of knowledge that wasent learned in a few days.
@@peterbalac1915 Thanks Peter.
I deserved the stick because I baited those plasterers with the title and the idea. They gave the video a nice boost on their forums and I am grateful for that.
The first time I went skiing and the instructor saw me lying on my back after the tenth fall he said "Don't worry you will be skiing by the end of the day" He was right.
He didn't say I would be a good skier but the motivation of learning something in a day is huge and he knew that.
I don't really understand why anyone feels threatened by it.
The end of the dimmer switch is great for pushing the bubbles flat . ATB ✌️
no scrim(plaster tape) on your joints, you tape up first
No you don't. Not if you are Bonding on boards.
Yeah I like that, learned a lot, thanks. Only (maybe whilst making a cuppa) I didn't see how you got the staining and small deposits off the ceiling - could have been pointed out just a little more? Many thanks.
Everyone starts somewhere he got the benifit of learning on his own house so no stress if its wrong
That’s how I started plastering at 14 years old , I plastered my bedroom wall and ceiling, wasn’t great but I was learning 👍
Now I can plaster whole house on me own no labourer, pro finish 👌
Blinking plasterers who never think of the joiners coming behind them, I’ve spent more time hacking off or filling in at the bottom of the wall before I can fix the skirting boards. Good wee video.
I have an Ooold house in eastern europe,the brick laying is atrocious,Built without a damp course,just the way they were built here.Rising damp,isnt the word.You realise why there is a damp course.
1200mm floor up had to be taken off,some rooms higher.I know you get knocked by the PROS,but watching you do this room and your earlier vids about rendering,given me the confidence to give it a go.Started on the render outside in the entrance,not much,but it didnt come out to bad.Going to start on the inside next.
Great vid,ignore the haters!
if you don't take the render right to the floor the lack of damp course will be less of an issue, not a builder but if you watch all the "no such thing as rising damp" videos people make you realise that even though they are like religious nuts about it they have a point that people tend to spend thousands "fixing" the wrong problem when the real issue is water flowing in though an airbrick or impervious cement render trapping water in the wall and helping it rise when a gap at the bottom would stop that.
@@dorianleakey Thanks for your suggestion/advice.What i have done, i removed the floors,and dug down in the 2 front rooms,put down 100mm concrete,covered that with ash felt,up to 150mm,then 50mm yellow stripe polystyrene,plastic sheet then 100mm concrete.Old floors were wood,straight on to a sort of sand shingle in between the joists.All was rotten.Walls inside i have left open 4 years now 1 metre up were it just fell off.Outside i stripped all the render and then had polystyrene insulation,with the glue there is an albeit small air gap between wall and polystyrene.New gutters and at the front of the house dug down and put 1 metre at an angle away from house then covered with big shingle.This is north facing and gets most of the weather.The walls inside appear to be dry,no heating in the rooms,just let it dry nice and slow.When the weather warms up i am going to attempt the render inside.There are no air bricks or anything like that.It has literally been built on the ground.Just how they were built here.
Put the trowel down man. This is a bad example of plastering, poor; setting out, making, advice and very poor technique. Skilled tradesmen only become that throughout sticking to their own trade. Please do not give any further advice to start up plasters.
Thank you
Better than some people who have been plastering for years!
Can you learn to plaster in a day? Look at houses built in recent years an the obvious conclusion is many do.
If all these pro plasterers think they are better, why are you watching beginners videos?? Good job Roger. Keep up the good videos
I watched it as it was in my recommends.no tape on joints and no unibond on the white wall.
So you didn't really watch it. There is scrim on the joints pressed into the bonding (old school) and the painted part was coated with PVA. Maybe you just nodded off for a while. Don't do that when you are driving.
Plasterers, who spend 5 days a week staring at a wall, go home and watch other people doing it and arguing with other plasterers on forums. Nowt so queer as folk.
To be fair i couldnt stand to watch it untill 16 mins or whatever.the tape goes on first.unless your using old hessian tape from the 70s.allso as a tradesman im open to hints and tips from other tradesman..(the reason i watch these types of vids) but thats inly as querr as trying to teach others a skill you dont even posses.its fine crying that all spreaders have a go at you..but that my friend is cos your not doing it right.you certainly wouldnt of payed someone to do a job that bad in your home.and you know it.
David Spicer beginners? How long has Roger been doing it for?? Most builders start with a trade then move on to building. As a builder myself I’m no “pro” but I know damn sure how to plaster a wall 10x better than this, but I’ve never wired a house out, some people should just leave trades for people who know what they are doing.
why is jonny depp plastering ? , i thought he won the case against amber herd . 😄
Have you any idea how much plasterers earn?
@@SkillBuilder yes ,the same as brikies , but not in the same leauge as plumbers .
Put a couple of hand fulls of Cement in your Bonding if you want to speed up the setting time.
Good tip. I have done that in the past but didn't think it would take so long to set.
Use dirty water if no cement
I've seen an old boy piss into a parge coat whilst troweling up!
Mathew
I knew about the piss but didn't feel it was good to mention it. Dirty water works as well.
Dirty dogs imagine finding out you had piss in your walls of your new house
Anyone else see the face on the new plastered wall at about 44-45 mins in
42:03. Definitely a haunted house 😂
Well done Roger! I've recently got out of the trade, I was a plasterer for 20+ years and it's an hard trade to fully master.
I'm not here to pick fault or criticise, just to say 'good on you' for having a go and showing other people a straight forward method so they can have a go themselves, so long as you trowel it up to a reasonable finish then jobs a goodun!
Little tip: l always kept my wash bucket at least 1/3 full with slurry, stir it up and pour some in your bonding mix, you can get it to go off in 10mins if you put enough in 😉
Stuart
That is a great tip and I will use it next time. Thank you for your positive feedback. What are you doing for a living now?
I bought a shop in my local town from a friend that was due to retire....happy days! Go to work clean, come home clean and much easier on the bones and joints 😊
I must admit I sometimes do miss the good crack we used to have on sites.
You should not be taking crack when you were on the sites you very naughty plasterer
Summed up the comments section. May of missed a step as I don't get the bonding part...
Clean paint with sugar soap
Masking tape the ceiling
Unscrew sockets and use socket box to provide extension from the backbox so no plaster goes on the socket e.g. yoozy box. Or cover with plastic bag.
Apply PVA to wall
Start plastering while PVA is still wet/tacky
Start from the top to avoid dig in lines
Apply tiny amount of water via spray or flick from paint brush
1st coat
Speed skim
2nd coat
Skim
Pattern: Down up down left right left repeat
Keep the trowel clean from any drying plaster
Use renovation plaster as you can build up the layers. Not finishing plaster.
Don't force dry the plaster.
You will always get criticised by experienced plasterers. But surely they started learning in the same way
The good ones learnt of experienced plasterers
@@richardholland2139 But the way they learnt was from doing. The more you do, the better you will get. Appears the pro plasters just don't want anyone trying. Its called DIY for a fucking reason. If people want to try on their own walls, let them.
Never learn a trade of a diy expert, if you want to learn a trade work with a time served tradesman
@Lee Hollebon to be a good plasterer you need to be a good labourer first, learn to mix and organize, this takes time and its not that we dont want to teach people, they dont want to labour because they just want to lay on and it doesn't work like that
@Lee Hollebon just tried to watch it again to give it a chance, but as soon as he said can i use your shower profile as a straight edge i turned it off.If your doing a video to teach people get your tools ready ffs
Brilliant guys. I'm a sparks and I can do a bit of plumbing , carpentry, decorating. The one thing I'm totally useless at is plastering. I will definitely give your method a go. Many thanks for the insight and ignore derisory comments from the spreads.
6:36 wtf is he doing xD
Most DIY building jobs, you can take your time over. Especially if you are not really sure what you are doing. But I find plastering really stressful because of the time sensitive element. You've only got a small window to get it right before it all goes to s....
Hi Roger it's Kev your biggest fan (ask Robin) can i be your guest sometime all the best mate and look after your self
A great youtube channel by a brilliant guy. Thank you Roger! 👍🏻
As good as any plasterer I’ve employed. Fair play
You need to sack the plasterer, didn’t even scrim the joints. This will crack within couple of years
Wow i didn't know Caitlyn jenner did diy.
is it only me seeing the face on the wall at 42:04 ?.... hunted hause :O
Yes , I saw it too
Dumb asses why would you do that freaked me out ! Watching video on tv late night . I didn’t expect it.
Just seen this, good effort for first timers guys, but sponge floating is not an alternative for second coating... Always 2 coats, sponge float is optional but I do use a sponge float system 👍
and that people is how not to plaster.absolutely shocking.
Don’t need to bond that
You don't need to but there is nothing wrong with bonding on plasterboard. British Gypsum recommend it rather than building up finish over 4mm.
Wow...you guys looks like old rockstars on a reunion! Great video! :)
I enjoy your videos Rodger, but as a spread this was hard to watch. You could have saved yourself some time by just putting some strips of board on that edge you bonded first to make it flush with the other side of the wall once you put a full board on, or just made it up with your first coat as it wasn't really that bad. If you have to bond out a fresh sheet of plaster board you've probably gone wrong somewhere. always put your scrim directly on the join, not in the plaster. The sponge float is definitely not an alternative to a second coat, the sponge float is only used if you've spent too long in the cafe. Also that light switch took a beating bless it, you could've taken two minutes to take it off. Not hating, just some constructive feedback.
So this is what Bowie n Micheal Hutchence are doing now...
Excellent mate
