Really helpful video, I’ve always wondered the difference between hardwall and bonding and you’ve explained it very clearly, thank you.

@DanTheManIOM 5 ай бұрын

why is this so relaxing to watch ? I have a blown area but the substrate is smooth, they justed joint compound and it's just popping off years later....same area on both floors. It's not porous, so I think I need the PVA first. Get it done !

Very good Information, I live in the USA but have a house across the border to Mexico. Bought the house from my mother in law, 40 plus year old, home that was well built, from brick. But now, the paint from prior years is falling apart and cracking. Your videos are very educational and now I know what to do. Thanks A lot

What do you use if there's efflorescence on internal upstairs brickwork? I want to try my hand at plastering but all the damp proofing I can find seems like it wouldn't give a good key for suction with thistle hardwall.

I've been out to a couple of jobs where walls and ceilings with bonding coat under skimcoat has come off the wall, usually a painted wall underneath. Would PVA really make much difference to getting the bonding coat to adhere ?

@paulbywater3273 9 ай бұрын

Hi Blaine, great video…question: I’ve used bonding so many times but make it up as I go along regards timing. Never used hardball but need to on next job. How long do you wait before skimming over bonding and hardwall? I think I remember you suggesting when bonding coat starts to Darken. Is this the same with hardwall? And is it just multi straight on? Or do you PVA? Thanks in advance 👍🏻

@arronnorton8457 2 ай бұрын

Love the videos, but why or what causes the plaster to blow in the first place ?

@jeremyfoster6942 2 ай бұрын

High suction, and/ or deep use hardwall, lower suction shallower fill, bonding, just follow what it says on the bags,

@Participant616 6 ай бұрын

On brick i just use bonding but SBR it first. I just prefer not needing two separate products when prepping walls for a skim.

@oddjob1932 11 ай бұрын

Damn, I did not know not to PVA hard brick 😢. I literally covered a 2.4m x 4m wall in PVA before applying a bonding coat. After hearing your explanation about the brick suction keeping hold of the bonding coat, I now see the error of my ways 👍

@PlasteringForBeginners 11 ай бұрын

We're all learning my friend. Me also!!

@SkillBuilder Ай бұрын

Actually you were fine. The Bonding is intended to stick to low suction backgrounds such as concrete and engineering bricks so sealing something that has suction with pva before bonding is not a problem. Blane said that 'Hardwall' backing plaster relies on suction so that is the one you don't PVA. Just let the brick suck it in.

@kooky82 11 ай бұрын

Hi Blaine can you use hardwall and bonding on the same wall but for different backgrounds? I have a wall that is brick but with a studded and plasterboarded area that used to be a doorway, would I just scrim over the joins between the hardwall and bonding? Cheers

Yeah you can and yeah, scrim the joins beforehand.

@lurch3653 10 ай бұрын

You need to let the bonding go off further & the bubbles shouldn't appear.Likewise if you apply your 2nd coat of finish to quickly the same thing will happen.

In Ireland we always x up the original coat of hardwall with a Stanley knife before pva for reskim to give new coat a key as well as the pva Iv noticed you lads don’t bother can I ask why that is ?

what causes the plaster to blow, there has been times when i put my second coat on i can get a bubble (blown ) patch.. ps im just learning on a old council house ,im using it as a workshop so im lucky on that point..

@PlasteringForBeginners 11 ай бұрын

Its a mixture of things. Age of the original plaster, bad application of new plaster (usually lack of hydration at the beginning leading to the plaster failing), not enough of a key...there's loads of reasons matey. It's quite hard to pin point!

Can this be used on 100+ year old house? Removed blown plaster but it's the old stuff with horse hair (I think). Or do you have to use lime plaster for flexibility on old bricks?

Lime plaster is best because it will allow the soft brick to breath.

@carolinemoor738 11 ай бұрын

I keep hearing the term 'tight coat', can you clarify what this is please? Is it putting the 2nd layer on before the first layer has set enough in a normal scenario? I initially understood it to be putting a second coat on with the same mix as the first?

@ryancline6128 11 ай бұрын

A tight coat means a thinly spread coat of plaster/bonding. For areas that aren't deep and don't need filling out alot, they only need a tight coat. Hope this helps

I've just had this on every wall on a garage extension that was done badly 20 years ago, the inner skin was thermalite, and it looked like they didn't wet down the blocks, and their mortar mix was way to strong so it just sucked all the moisture out of the mix, you could literally wobble the blocks, I had to hack 75% off and bed mesh in on a tight coat of bonding. Over the last 20 years the jobs have just been getting worse and worse, might see if mcdonalds are hiring. 😂😭

I'd ask the building supplies company what they recommend. I had spalling concrete in a ceiling and they told me what to use there and it was different than what i needed in teh hall way (Window was leaking and concrete skim coat was just crumbling).
