Repairing plaster gouges, divots and pockmarks is a tricky task for most DIYers. In this video, The Honest Carpenter teams up with Philip Lamachio, a plaster repair expert, to show you how to carry out the FASTEST PLASTER REPAIR EVER!! It's just a 30-minute fix for you damaged plaster walls...
Plaster walls are prone to developing gouges, divots and pockmarks. This is because plaster is frangible--it fractures easily.
In many cases, these damages can be repaired using nothing more that quick-setting drywall mud! Be sure to check out our video where we discuss the benefits of quick-set mud over drywall bucket mud:
• DON'T USE DRYWALL BUCK...
How-To:
FASTEST PLASTER REPAIR EVER!! (30-MINUTE FIX: Plaster Gouges, Divots, Pockmarks!)
1) Mix quick-setting drywall joint compound to a consistency about like ice cream. (This is thicker than the usual peanut butter consistency--be sure to use less water. BUT, this will help fill plaster gouges, divots, pockmarks)
2) Trowel mixed compound completely into divots and gouges on plaster wall. Be sure to hit divots and gouges from two opposite directions. This will force compound into all corners of the divot. Try not to leave high ridge lines or scrape marks!
3) Make sure plaster gouges, divots and pockmarks are fully filled in on first coat
4) Clean out mud pan / clean off drywall and plaster tools
5) Mix second batch of quick-setting drywall compound in mud pan. This is going to be a topping coat, so you want it to be lighter. A consistency about like yogurt is desired.
6) Trowel second topping coat onto repaired divots, gouges, pockmarks on plaster wall. Fan out repair patch so it is larger this time. Be sure to feather edges to make smooth transition to the wall. Try not to leave high ridge lines or scrape marks!
7) Dry the area with a heat gun. But BE CAREFUL! Heat guns can reach 1100 degrees. Keep the heat gun a few inches away from the wall, keep the tip moving. Don't scorch the repair or the paint underneath
8) When the area is dry, lightly sand with 120 or 150 grit sandpaper. Use gentle sweeping motions. Focus on the perimeter of the patch. Create a smooth transition to the existing wall.
That's how you carry out the fastest plaster repair ever! A 30-minute fix is all you need to for most plaster gouges, divots and pockmarks.
Thanks for watching!

Yup! I only recently discovered the powdered setting mud in the past few years, for some reason it's not too popular here in NY. Amazing stuff!!! In addition to drying fast, it doesn't shrink!! You can fill big voids with thick mud in one shot, then a thin coat of EZ sand bucket stuff to finish.

1) is this the same exact thing you would do on drywall with the same product? 2) in the end you mentioned bucket mod being different from this, what's the difference?

@MAGAMAN 2 жыл бұрын

Bucket mud is easier to sand, last for month if not years in the bucket, so you aren't throwing away the unused portions, it doesn't ruin your tools if you let it dry on them, and is much easier to use for beginners. You really don't want to use 5, 20, 45, or 90 minute mud on your final coat. It's too hard, it's hard to sand and doesn't take paint as well. Stick to the bucket unless you have 1/4 inch or deeper gaps to fill.

I saw another vid on patching and mixing 45 min mud, he said you got to mix it make sure you get all the lumps out. What's the deal as It looks like there were plenty of lumps in his mix. Yes I look at his results that are perfect but all us DIY patcher are not as skilled with the knife as him.

Bucket mud is good it just takes longer to dry and if you were skim coating walls ( making them smooth) I recommend the bucket it has a glue in it and sands easier. You could use powder for First coats and then use bucket for finish coat.

@@A.S.P.R. Yeah the powdered compound or real plaster needs water and time to rehydrate. Once the mud has set, it can be dried out quickly. But remove the water prior to hydration and the gypsum or lime does not crystalize properly. Once the mud has set, it can be dried out quickly. We have been doing plasters, mostly with integral color, for around 40 years.

Yes. If its hot mud its usually dry at 4 to 5 times what the bag says which is working time. If its humid it might take longer. Hot and arid is faster. Put a fan on it to increase timing in any condition.
