If you want to learn the basics to plastering and learn how to plaster your own walls then join The Plastering For Beginners welcome Course. It's a free plastering course ideal for anyone who wants to learn how to plaster: plasterersblueprint.clickfunn...
Today's video I’m going to show you the full process to sponge floating a wall. This is a different way to start plastering and it’s becoming very popular amongst plasterers.
I’ll walk you through the whole process and I’ll show you the exact steps you need to take to start sponge float plastering. It’s a very similar process to the traditional sense of plastering except you have the added step of using the sponge float.
This provides you with a different finish and in my opinion, it provides a more consistent look to your walls. This video is ideal for anyone who wants to learn how to use a sponge float and also essential for people who have no knowledge of plastering a wall. This video shows you everything you need to start and is a guide to plastering for beginners
I’ll also walk you through the exact tools you’ll need for the job.
Here’s the list below:

M. Loved your videos and the way you talk through the process, I’m new to this, have load of questions about plastering since there can be lot of different situation, but in this video I would like to know : Is there any stage that need to press the trowel really hard to flatten the plaster? Can’t really tell in the video when to use pressure or not. Thanks

Wow... just wow... this guy is more than just a plasterer. He's taken his trade perfected it and now he's marketing his own company on utube. Makes me think i should do the the same, I've been in building industry for 20 years. I'm an accomplished builder, i cut my teeth on loft conversions mainly, but that involves a load of skills.... was thinking about starting a tool review channel a while back as most of the current ones aren't actually reviewed by trades on site. Well done mate, your a smart cookie.

For an amateur to plaster a ceiling is a monumental task. By my time just after the war we were plastering on to plasterboard just think what a generation , or maybe two, before me had to cope with when the medium was wooden lath. I think that I might hve got dirty too.

Same. Did my apprenticeship in 1985, 50 kg bags of browning mixed in a bath with a shovel applied to breeze block walls. Skimming was mixed with a stick and a plunger which consisted of a bicycle chain ring screwed/welded onto a wooden or metal T-bar. Trowels were a 13" marshall town or tyzak, not stainless and were like a lump of 3x2 until broken in which took about 4 months !! These youngsters don't know they're born with all these modern tools/mixers 🤣🤣

Yes there was more to solid plastering than simply skimming on to plasterboard especially so if the walls were uneven. I would put on a band or strip of plaster across the wall as high as I could reach, - straighten or rule this out then check for plumb , then straighten again if needed . It was then a case of filling in the rest of the wall , hopefully the joiner had put on a ground rail, and ruling off using as your guide the ground rail and your strip along the top. The area at the top would be filled in and ruled off just like the bottom , using a stool to reach up. If there is no ground rail a straightened strip would have to be formed then and checked for plumb with the upper strip. In time the job was pretty straight forward.

I didn't realize at the time it had a use by date and it was going off straight away 🙄. Some how got an ok finish but not great. Purchased the plaster a while back and left it in the garage! Hopefully this time with the help of your video, I'll do an ok job? What's the rough timings for the first few stages? Big thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

So many diy people wanting to give it a go because it looks "easy" asking how long between coats etc props for wanting a go tbh but people forget to easy its a bit of an art and not half as easy as it looks!

I'm slowly working my way through your videos and I've got to say.... you've created some of the most informative and helpful content available on the topic! Thank you so much for your time in creating. I know this video is a bit old, but, if you see this, I'd love some help on a few questions. 1 - In general, to what degree to you believe your instruction and recommendations translate to the US? 2 - I see that the plaster you're using is brown. I'm an absolute rookie, but this surprised me. Is there a reason for brown plaster vs white plaster in this use case? Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide, @Plastering-For-Beginners!

ive been plastering for 15 too 16 years was a bit weary about doing this method my way of thinking was after all my hard work of 1st coat flatten 2nd coat flatten then to go through all my hard work with a sponge just couldn't get my head round it,jumped in a started with the sponge floating not looked back takes a lot of hard work out of the game plus get no tiger stripes or blistering just one uniformed finish,just want too say keep up your good work and thanks for the videos how you go through step by step, has long has you hit the plaster at the right times its a better finish and quicker result

Great informative vid, very useful for a home owner looking to get some skimming done, thanks for the insight! The speed skim used to smooth out the first coat, could that not be used to smooth out the second coat as its this outer top layer that would be visible and all the imperfection visible once the mist coat is on?

Hi Blaine, Have you any videos on how you deal with suction as this massively varies on the makeup of the wall. Obviously I do the usual process of PVA but at times I still find some walls literally suck moisture immediately on applying the 1st coat. Recently I did two opposite walls as one hit. One wall previously painted took the usual 45 - 55 minutes to start going but the opposite wall being old plaster with no previous paint was going off straight away resulting in me racing to beat the clock. I managed to get the seconds coats on and finish the process, but under pressure which isn’t ideal. Just wondering if you have any top tips on reducing suction further other than just PVA. Cheers James

I know it’s a late reply but I’m just starting out how come you get a trowel line from the back end of the trowel is it cos you put more pressure at the front or does it just naturally do it. Spot on vids by the way👍

I did a plastering course a few month ago, have just completed my first living room walls and ceiling. Its a pretty decent effort. When I was taught, it was to to go left to right (for right handers) but start from the bottom, and work upwards. Is there any benefit doing it top down or just as long as it goes on? Cheers

So... first time plastering was the other day... and quite quickly I learned that I was lacking awareness of my body position, especially while on a step ladder, relative to the wall. Paying attention to the hand I held the hawk in, while troweling out with the other hand, so as not to bump into the wall with the hawk while stretching out with the trowel hand! And big time annoyance factor, too low of an angle on the trowel spread motion, causing the trowel to stick into the layer of plaster! Seems so simple... and obvious but at the time just caught me off guard!

I’ve been plastering for years, but not full time. Im general builder so my van is packed full of tools. I’ve kept my plastering tools to the bare minimum. I’ve got a 14” Marshalltown and that’s all I ever use. Always turns out good. If i get the odd shit bit I carry a bit of ready mixed filler with me and job done. Once the paint is on it always looks sweet. If I were to do more plastering, I would invest in the tools you use. Great vid.

Hi Mate, I've watch loads of your videos and they are the best on youtube. Have you done one about plastering around sockets, light switches etc and also around the radiator, and any other awkward bits that crop up from time to time i.e into a pointy bit on stairs etc. Please keep them coming. I am self-employed doing home maintenance and I plaster myself, just not all the time. I would love to come and work with you for a few days, I would do it for nowt, just to learn better, so if you are anywhere near South Yorkshire and you need a hand for a day or two, let me know.

Hi mate! Great hearing from you again. I often use the Speedskim at the early stages because I find it gets the wall flatter from stage 1. Give it a try! Arr the Plaziflex is amazing pal - it leaves an amazing finish and they're so nice to use. I'd definately invest in one if I was you 👍
