There's deffo some brilliant tools come on the market in the last 10 years. Loved this vid. Half expected 'where's James' to climb out of the plaster bucket. He's quiet when he's busy 🤣🤣

How things change EH? ... In the 60's/early 70's my Only trowel was a Tyzac 12" (Pre-Marshal-Town-Big-Boys ;) a cross-grain float with interchangeable handle & a Devil-float with a few brushes, a small-tool, twitcher & a slipper :-) .... They all fitted in a small bag I could hang on the handlebars of my bike, my bucket on the other side and my rules and shovel tied to the cross-bar, with the hod resting on my shoulder :-) ......... 'Beverley-Hill-Billy-Stylee' ....... I could still do a top job in double-quick time ........ As time went on, it took Loooonger and Longer to get ALL of the new tools, leads etc out of the van and set-up for the day. The same in the evening :-( ................. Got less work done as a result - And DO NOT! Mention Health&Safety as a Chief Time-Waster !! ............. AARRGGHH!!!!!!! ;-)

Hello Roger.....good video! I have a plaster related question? Two years ago I travelled to Laos and noticed the interiors of buildings were not plastered but cement rendered. Can you tell me why this may be so! Is it anything to do with climate there.....it’s very hot, above 30C most of the year with very little rain! Any thoughts? What are the advantages/disadvantages? Cheers mate!

Iv been plastering 15 years, the best advice I can give someone is lay on as flat as possible first & second coat. No one needs these tools apart from a steel trowel & hawk. You can make your walls perfect

That is good advice but for someone who just wants to do the occassional bit and doesn't have 15 years to develop your skills it is good to have some help.

For the occasional plasterer within the time before it's gone beyond being workable? In the middle of summer? It would be better to say, "For the non-professional plasterer these tools are a great help. But you wouldn't see a professional plasterer using them". But the problem is a lot of professional plasterers *do* use these tools to save their elbow. "lay it on as flat as possible"? I don't think anyone is slinging it on with a shovel from a wheelbarrow and hoping for the best. I have to ask you. Do you use an electric mixer whisk or do you do mix by hand with a bucket trowel in a trough?

Then say "you just need to get a bit of sandpaper on that or a bit of filler (for the shallows)". Why didn't the plasterer get a bit of sandpaper on it? Why do they expect the homeowner to finish the job? Anyway, you can't sandpaper plaster. But plasterers know this and still tell people to do it.

Those white plastic covers for sockets and switches by Beadmaster sound like a good idea for a DIYer when they are trying to plaster around back boxes and want to get neat lines but aren’t you basically just burying it in plaster to then risk breaking it away later on and potentially causing damage to newly plastered walls? Personally I think the Sockitz Safetyshield are a better alternative as you can install them at any stage of the wiring whether it’s 2nd fix or during the 1st fix the parts just clip together and can easily be removed later on after the rooms been plastered. I have done some research online and the Beadmasters retail a couple of quid dearer than the Sockitz Safetyshield which are a bit cheaper. It’s certainly better than some cowboys filling the back boxes full of plaster that you have to break the lot out when it’s drying!

I have used BeadMaster and it’s brilliant, you plaster it in to the wall but then when it’s dry you simply remove the centre cover. Does it all, saved time and money 👍👍

Nicely polished up plaster, but significantly + or - 90 deg corners, going on too thick near internal 3 way corners and even bulges, mid wall. Ever tried getting 800mm+ tiles on, brickcourse lay-out with that sort of abomination going on? Customer: "We know a plasterer". Quite frankly, I'd rather do it myself. Not the fastest but at least it's square, plumb and doesn't bulge. Er, unlike my belly.
