Like so many things people make look easy; you think, I can do that. No, no you can't in the time these gents took to do it.

Nah you've not been plastering for years,

I cant see the benifit personally put your 1st coat on flat lay it down 3 trowels its done

All.l that water is breaking it down

goldenalex one think coat is the best away

goldenalex I do just one coat

One coat all day

Not my trade but I had a kitchen replastered like this 50msq approx wth 2 doors with 2 Windows I was impressed because the painting was easy no filling or rubbing - my neighbour had his hall replastered and the geezer completely cocked up left him with bumpy walls worse than before........????

I have been plastering for 10 years and one coat is for people who don't know how to plaster set of cowboys

Shay Doyle Can you say that again but go through point by point please? I find it hard to follow. It's not you, but me. Cheers

I'll try. When putting the skim on the wall try keep the leading edge of the trowel as close to the wall as you can. This way when the skim spreads on you won't here a grating noise from the sand in the thistle bond or whatever is painted on the wall. I would just pva myself for a wall like that...anyway after you put the wall on wich should take lets say 5mins or so. Take a hawk or two of stuff from the same mix and spread over the top leaving it as neet as you can.. And go clean your bucket or whatever you have to do... You have to stay on top of the wall so make sure that all your angles are clean coving and skirting lines look straight etc. This is the time saving bit When it's ready to sponge use a small spray bottle a light mist will be enough to get the sponge moving.. For a wall this sise half a mister muscle bottle will be enough. There is no need to sponge in circles.. Just use the edge of the sponge along the angles and once up and once down the wall. Keeping the middle of the float off the wall, the sponge will move smoother this way... When you've done this flatten the wall straight away using no water removing none of the skim just spread it around closing the wall in filling any hollows as you go.. The wall at this point should have a layer of fat on it. The fat is what gives the nice finish. At this point you can't go wrong clean your angles and when the wall is ready trowel up you should need very little water because the wall is full of fat just flatten it in. This is not a new method of skiming you don't need special tools a cheap sponge float about 8euro, Good skiming trowel which you should already have and give it a go..I use a traditional skiming trowel up the final rub and pollish with a flexible. This is not a criticism of the video but there is no need for the amount of water the lads use here fair play to them for putting it up.. It's a hard thankless job at the end of the day

Shay Doyle Thanks Shay, appreciated

Yeah,there are loads of ways of plastering,it's just there's only one way of doing it properly.

Nothing a load off easyfill can put right lol

Exactly. On plaster board one coat no problem. Olds walls 2 coats.

those who think this is not a legit method are just butthurt "professionals"

if l finished a job like that id jack it in, 2 bloks to skim a little wall jeeeeeeeeeeeez, you say the finish is good if l finished my work like that l would plaster a 3 bed house in a day.

Absolute shite lads you see how good you're work is when its painted a good decorator will always recommend a good plasterer!

Thanks for commendation. I also appreciate you work, seen a few of your videos. Let us know if you want to do a collaboration!

😂😂😂😂

Many thanks!

Dean Arnold u need to put some pressure on the sponge so you can liven up the surface of the plaster. Almost making the second coat on the wall. Should leave a nice cream to trowel up. Shouldn't see any lines, should leave a matt and even finish.. if you see lines then yes, should come out with a final hard press trowel.

it does take some time to get used to. The steel is softer so the angle of the trowel and the pressure is different to using Marshall Town. Worth the persistence in my opinion. The trowels don't need any breaking in, the are good to go as soon as you buy them.

that will be my best video..

stevep they are gifted from college.

This can only be done inside buildings and houses where the Sun is not on those walls to EXPOSE the waveness of the walls Because no one coat system especially a finish can be done in 1 coat.In 30 years in the Unions we are exposed to Latest and greatest so called "One coat System" none of them panned to be any good.Fly by finish system maybe 1 job and then no more because of bad material system and couldn't be done in 1 Coat

Michael Burr in a bucket of what or under a tap and push the plaster out with your hand a much as you can.. it won't be perfect but you can get a good six months constant use out of It before it needs replacing.

Hsilver dale can put on with a super flex.. I'm using a standard 16 inch refina trowel.. doesn't really matter what you use to put on.. but only use superflex and spatulas to trowel up.. when using pregritt no need to use pva.. one coat of pregritt is enough to kill the suction and give a good key. Only thing it needs 12 to 24 hrs to dry.

Faisal

It's called a speed skim dude you can get a 1200mm nela finishing spatula over there in the u.s.a

Michael Burr it's exactly the same process as seen here.. the video doesn't show how thick we are putting on.. but it is 3mm thick.. that's usually the same thickness of two coats.. it's just that we are used to putting that thick first time.. it's take a bit of time to get used to putting on 3mm thick in one go.. I recommend to start with put two coats on straight away, no waiting around between coats and try and use the same mix.. when a little more confident then try putting in 3mm first time..

Aaron Agnew-Griffith Snap

Practice makes perfect give it a go

Aaron suck it

Made it look like hard work

I dont know about 5 mins on your own but yea.

Don't talk shiet!

One spraying water and the other on the sponge and your man sticking his head round the door occasionally 😂

There's me , 4hr in and still trying to get the protruding lines out 🥱😂

Looks like not 😂

If it was a textured ceiling it would need 2 coats. Not a flat ceiling.

Kelly A. All the tools I use are from refina. You can buy there tools online from refina.co.uk.

Two men one wall seems a bit of a waste of time

You don't sponge finish mate 😂

@@holyherb1234 Not if it takes half the time....what's the difference??

peter fido refina 18 inch medium course sponge float.

london-plasterer.com thanks for the fast reply, was looking on e bay for one but wasn't sure which one to get , was looking at the blue refina fine sponge float , think ill buy them both ☺, have you ever used the fine one's?

peter fido I have used the fine ones, don't work as well on multifinish.. fine sponges work well with finishing renders

london-plasterer.com thank you 👍

British gypsum multifinish mate , its good and bad , nicest and fastest plaster you will ever use to put on and work once you have used it a couple times but its not great as far as breathability and stuff goes , when somebody can creat a modern plaster that goes on like multifinish but has the advantages of natural stuff they will be rich as f**k.

We are using Gypsum Multi-Finish in the video. Which render system are you referring to?

In my country multi-finish us not popular due the price. We use thick layer renders as Knauf Rotband, Goldband, MP 75. There are also available other manufacturers - western and eastern europe ones. And basically, they all recomend to work with gypsum based render similar way as you do. Only difference is thicness of layer our minimum (recommended) is from 5mm. And I personally havent never seen in my country somebody plastering a drywall. We use Sheetrock and similar stuff for that. Actually, there are few times, when i do render a drywall, but that means, that somebody has had really poor quality and is not getting paid for it

I'm here in Southern California this will look good in interior jobs but on the outside when Critical light hits the wall look out.sll walls look bad in Critical light but it is up to the Plasterer to make those walls only look bad for a small amount of time.If a wall only looks bad for less than 5 minutes then good conscientious Plasterers worked on the wall.and Smooth Finish enhances the imperfections even more.Plastering now for 30 years in the Union.I started when E.I.F.S. the foam system really started to take off

Kyuh 😀 And you have 25th payment

Lee Neale looks like it’s been prepped with green grit primer.

Mr Varus the joiner might have a moan plastering over the frame - when he comes to put the architrave on

If the paint and tiles fall off the wall 6mths later = shit job

@@sbnqy Why would that happen?

Mr Varus ... It's NOT the painter, it's NOT the electrician and it's NOT the joiner whose opinion you should be seeking! Try asking the bloody customer! THEY'RE the ones paying your wages! Sheesh! 😱😱🤔🤔😕😕😕

@@boblewis5558 But i'm not looking for an opinion????????????

R B your joking right 😂

Yes, even put two coats on with the same mix until you get more experience with the system.. always double fill your beads as plaster shrinks as it drys.

Dexter Siviter yes the plazi flex is fine. The larger spats are better as they flatten over larger areas, and give a flatter wall as a result, and quicker. But good results can be achieved with a plazi flex trowel.

london-plasterer.com thanks for your reply going to give it a try

Anibal Hdez. Valle refina spatula 40inch. The plastic ones are the best

hey Will, no not a plasterer as such, only done a few small areas. If I was their client or the house owner I would be super happy with the results and the smooth flawless finish. We're now 18 months down the line, so did it develop hairline cracks or not, we'll never know unless we ask them. maybe they've perfected their method. They could do my walls any time.

I'm a time serverd plasterer with 30 years experience so I'm allowed a view and it's not a good way of skimming, to slow

Any1 saying that's amazing has no idea what they are looking at .just done 17 years on price and if there is enough money in that wall to pay 2 men. Sorry but you are ripping the job off and should go and work stacking shelves at Morrison's. These 2 are not tradesmen

The refina superflex skimming trowel is the best one. I recommend the 14inch trowel.

Thistle Multi finish by looks of it

Michael Burr yes, I usually to two coats of pva, 3 to 1 mix.. but some walls are very dry so a third coat of pva may be necessary to make sure plaster doesn't dry too quick

Yes this method works well on any background except artex ceilings where i would apply two coats

most of the properties in the uk are solid walls , plaster boards are only used on partitions and ceilings in a traditional building , and any skim coat should be 2 mm . and the first rough coat should be no less than 3/8 with the finish at 1/8 .
