A satisfying days work there I'm sure ... It looked a bit manic to start with ... But the end result?? .. You must've been rather proud! ... Well done 🤠
You will get the hang of it. It’s a handy trick . 👍 I’ve done a few videos mentioning the sponge . To sponge or not to sponge . When you can and can’t get away with it. 👍
17:30 smurf mate your a ranked spread been on tools long enough to know👍 But i have got to pull you up on something you keep saying cardon steel is to one...to use. Thing is, just like stainless CS trowels are curved ever so slightly soon as you get and will curve as they get used. Nobody has the ability to keep their pressure completely even throughout an entire gauge. Its physically impossible Stainless are 👍 Cardons are 👍 Rule & derbys are a must 💫 Sponges are 50/50 Flexibles only for very skilled hands and only the hard pass. Anything else its a 🤦 Plastering is fast reaching a stage were everyone wants a room a day. But internal and external plastering is not about that..
I just bought a new marshal town, 20x5 cs , there is a tiny curve at both ends, like a skateboard , but the whole length apart from the toe and heel is straight. You can get the same in stainless. You can also get cs and stainless that are curved for the whole length of the trowel. This is what I do not like for skimming when you are dealing with millimetres. Floating, rendering, fine, but then you are using a straight edge rule to give the flatness , not a curved edge! Carbons keep their shape for much longer. At 20inch stainless or carbon , there is lots of room for it to warp. I tend not to trowel up with the 20, so no real hard pressure is applied. Keeps its shape. I switch to a flexi last couple of passes when I’m happy things are straight. I do a lot of work where it’s an old room bashed about, thing curl about, uneven surfaces , I find using a straight carbon really sorts things out very quickly even just putting the 1st coat on. If you’re doing new work where it’s just plasterboard and it’s all good, then sure any trowel will be fine. I think different plasterers work to their strengths, that’s why there is so much disagreement on the subject. If the wall is that bad, yep a Darby works wonders. I find using the thought straight carbons gives me so much feedback that I can get it pretty much bang on from the outset, if a Darby is needed, I find I’ve got it so close with the cs 20 there is minimal ruling off to do. Stainless trowel up lovely , but they just loose their shape too quickly for me. I went to the shop and looked at this new trowel and saw it was what I like. I recently bought a Kraft trowel cs at 20x5 online. It was totally curved, tried using it for setting, no feedback, reveals all over the place, I put it down and went back to my old marshal 20. I did a video called the “right trowel for you” 👍👍 Cheers for you feed back Steve , it’s always good for others to benefit from opinions in the comments. 👍👍
It’s my gimmick! 👍😀 It’s been good, kind of repaired itself, but put quite a bit of weight in there the other day and it’s upset it again. I wouldn’t mind but they are expensive Michelin’s and when I did go to get the tyres rotated I figured I would get matey to fix the screw, but he said it’s too close to the edge. So we left it in. I’ll be ready for a new set soon .
Hi Geoff, no video tonight, everybody in the house other than me is ill and my flat roof is leaking in the garden room. Had to get up there again with some repair stuff. Was doing a job today, used your method to sort things out. I gave you a shout out. Hopefully I’ll have it edited and ready to go tomorrow. 👍
@@Plastersmurf74 Hello Smurf. Fancy that, we're both on at the same time! Sorry to hear about the roof- hope you get it sorted and everyone gets well soon. I was just playing catch-up as the videos are coming thick and fast. My method? Surely not the bonding/cement trick? I'll look for forward to that. I did use it a lot and (trying not to read big headed to others) was good at it when used in the right situations. Of course, I don't have exclusive rights to it- I was taught it!! 🙂👍 Lets just hope you don't use my throw anything on and hope for the best method!! 😉
Those wet brushes are good, not big ones dripping water everywhere, they are great for internals. Then right at the end, little inch brush, never used a corner trowel, probably never will. My Internals are well straight using that large trowel.
That looked spot on! Looking forward to see what your next job is.
It wouldn't be a Master Smurf video without the 6am electric tyre pump 🤣😅😂

Sponge floating is the 1 helps flatten and remove ripples aswell
Lovely job . Ine if yourr best jobs guys
Thanks Justin . 👍
This looks like a massive pain in the ass ! Well done mate great job. Would have been a struggle
It was tough to make the deadline. 👍
@Plastersmurf74 not just the deadline. The amount of angles was crazy. Gave me a headache just watching hahaha
Get that tyre changed lol every video seems to have that pump in it

Why are people saying lovely job, its what you do for a living, if you can't leave a lovely job by now, you need to give up
I guess they are telling me I don’t need to give up. 👍
@@Plastersmurf74 Good answer!!

Why no spray gun's . much better . No dribbling on hands and floors. Brush for edges😂. Simples. One coat my ass. Maybe cupboards.but ceilings 😮
