Plastering For Beginners
Absolutely brilliant. Clearly spoken, with no stupid rock music! Well done and thank you.
Thank you very much!!
ahahah I can recognise plastering videos from their music. :) Sadly we don't have Britisch Gipsum in EU... Can't find the equivalent/similar here...
You a better teacher than my boss, thanks to you im not gonna get fired
Unless your boss reads this 😏
Lool
🤣😂
Blaine, I just wanted to say thank you for your efforts with your tutorials. I have undertaken many handyman projects over the years, kitchens, bathrooms, tiles, cupboards etc but I was scared of plastering. Your tutorials provided me the confidence to undertake some plastering work and eventually the confidence to buy a run down cottage in Wales (a dream of mine) and start renovating it. I have just finished ripping out an entire lathe and plaster ceiling (which was sagging badly), fitting new 5 x 2 joists, reboarding it and plastering the ceiling. My first ever attempt at a ceiling. Without your input I would likely never have my dream cottage, or a new lifestyle and I can't thank you enough. Your efforts don't just provide people with skills, but in this case really contributed to a whole new home in a whole new, and lovely place and a new start in life in a wonderful adventure in rural Wales. I have returned to the UK from South Africa and my wife will join me shortly in our new home. Your efforts have contributed significantly to the success of the project.. !!!
Best British teacher ever..Very humble,less humour,disciplined and understands problems learners might suffer from.God bless you Sir
Thank you so much. You explained the process very well. I'm 70 and am going to plaster a small utility room while my husband is away overseas but I think I'll have to watch your video a few times first.
I’ve been plastering for over 15 years. I see a lot of videos on UA-cam that are absolute nonsense. This is not 1 of them. This is how to plaster to the nvq textbook. Been wanting to teach the labourer but been to busy. This video will be the perfect watch for him.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate that pal - hope your labourer liked it 👍
After watching this about five times I skimmed my first wall after removing some original blown plaster. It looks a bit patchy drying out, but it’s smooth and flat. There are a few bits that will need filling, but the edges are all good. It’s getting papered anyway, and I’m pleased with the result. Next job is an upstairs loo over plasterboard, which should be easier.
If that turns out OK I’ll have saved about £700, so cheers for the video.
We need more people like you on here. Brilliant video I learnt a lot already. Thankyou
Thank you mate! That means a lot 😊
So true
Nice one mate, lots of useful info. Will get the rest of the course.
Thank you, Blaine!! I learned more from you than anyone else.
Thank you for watching! Glad to hear it’s helped you 👍
Just wanted to say thank you so much to Blaine. The variety of great videos, advice and honest walk throughs has helped me learn so so much. I watched most videos again and again as I always miss bits and it’s always a pleasure coming back to the channel. Understanding how plaster reacts and works isn’t something you can read in a book. My first attempt after 2 weeks of near non stop watching vids and buying correct tool (love the speedskim) turned out really well and friends tell me it looks like a pro did it. Blaine is a true diamond, I offered to donate as a thank you and wouldn’t accept any money. I’ll be coming back again and again to these vids as I do more renovations and am looking forward to future vids. Absolutely great teacher. Words can’t describe. Peace and love
what a nice bloke, blaine is what makes youtube great, these are the guys who always have lots of work lined up, would certainly employ him as a plasterer
I’ve plastered 15 years and your tuition is mint .you put it on that well one coat would have been good but 2 is always best.I never work out the bucket anymore I put it on a spot board hip high saves a hell a lot of work as you get older.it’s a hard game
Plaster from California never understood working out of a bucket l would not be in this trade 45 years working that way we refer to your spot as a mud board
It took me a very long time to be a decent plasterer i went from being a labourer to polishing to flattening out to putting on working backwards works well noing how to use a trowel and how it works is the key not putting on straight away but this fella is the only pro plasterer on here what noes what there doing
Very good video. I have learned a lot.
Cheers mate.
"Don't mess with the electricians ... or they will chase you down"😂
Thanks a lot my friend - it's great to hear that you're finding my content useful! Haha they are evil 😂
Electricians a.k.a. the guys who always forget or do something wrong but they come to fix it when the walls are plastered, sanded and painted. Fools.
loads of info for a beginner and looks less messy would definitely have a go and take your points. thanks for the video
Thank you for the comment and good luck ☺️
Hi mate .. just want you to know how grateful I am to you making these videos. I put myself through a plastering course , work with my mate and he try’s to wind me at every stupid little point , says things like “only a time served plasterer can master that” ,when it’s just skimming walls I’VE done 😂 and he’s been off , just stupid little things BUT see the tips from yourself and all the added little plastering lingo has done me proud. Thank you
Please please keep making videos
Thank you for watching and well done for your perseverance! Respect my friend 👍
You're a great teacher: clear and specific, detailed and with a good pace.
And on top of that, well sexy! Thanks for this tutorial.
Agreed, very sexy.
You're supposed to find woman sexy you fools.
The best teacher.
This video is so good! No bullshit music or time lapse just clear descriptIon, thankyou x
I just muddled my way through one side of stud wall seperating 2 bedrooms, the 2nd side will be loads better i feel!
I recently purchased the online plastering course and today is the first chance I've had to put it to the test. 2 valuable lessons learnt
first being don't use cheap buckets as the bloody thing cracked as I was near the top of the stairs resulting in a bucket of muck tumbling everywhere.
Second is you have more time than you think when working with plaster. I'd plastered one wall and had loads left over so I started a second and flitted between the 2 and I'm really happy with the results. Thanks once again Blaine for the videos!
Hi mate, thanks for getting the course. I really appreciate it! Haha this made me laugh since that happened to me when I started - was it a £1 B&Q bucket by any chance ha??
That's great that you managed to get 2 walls on at the same time - sounds like you nailed it pal. Hope it still continues to go the same way and thanks again for going for it. Cheers pal 👍
It was a B & Q bucket 😂
Brilliant 😂
@Lee Hollebon hello mate, I've found it a really good and useful start to plastering. My reason for buying was to save money on our extension and I've certainly done that. Although my walls aren't perfect every one I've done has been better than the last. Blaine does some great videos on you tube and I would recommend his on line course.
As a time served tradesman mainly in plumbing and carpentry ..I now teach practical skills in secondary schools in UK.
I have plastered on few occasions..since I've been diagnosed with the c ..I have months off work doing nowt...I'm hooked on your videos ...the old school tools and the new tools you have talked about I'm looking to up my skills on plastering...I managed to plaster my walls before op...
When I'm up and running I'd love to spend a day with you just to pick on site tips...
Zam
I am new to your channel but you are in my view an excellent teacher. I am your latest fan ...I just subscribed!!
Watched some of your videos and plastered two long walls due to budget! Not perfect, but very good first attempt according to a plasterer (that I hired to do harder walls)! Thank you for your videos, much appreciated. Huge respect for the profession.
Thank you for watching and respect for trying. All the best pal 👍
Great video tried my first wall after watching, give myself 8/10 will do 2nd coat tomorrow. one piece of advise don't wear a baseball cap or if you do put it on backwards!
2nd coat tomorrow :/?
Never do 2nd coat the next day ,it’s just like starting again
Fantastic video.
Exceptional video quality, nice and easy to follow and again everything explained clearly.
Massive thank you
Hi Blaine. I’m not a plasterer / good start.I’m a handyman doing different small jobs.Plasters x 2 arrived on a job to replace some drywall that was damaged in a kitchen. The board was cut / scrim tape applied/ then mixed Plaster of Paris powder into the bonding and plastered over the scrim.
Apparently according to them/ it dries quick and doesn’t crack or shrink.
This has got to be the best video I’ve watched for beginners 👏👏 I’ve never plastered before but I am going to attempt plastering my toilet ceiling. I’ve removed all the artrex/texture. You’ve really given me the confidence that I can do this 🫣 I’m going to save your video and play/pause as I go! If you want I’ll post a before and after, don’t be afraid to criticise as I really want to learn. Thank you 👍 Caroline, over 60 from UK 🇬🇧 and getting the job done ✅🤣
Thank you Caroline! I really appreciate that - it means a lot to me!! I’d love to see your results and I wish you luck. You can do this 👍👍
Great tutorial. Thank you for your time and effort to make it and share it with the world.
Greetings from Croatia.
Blaine. You're a fantastic educator mate. I came away really understanding the key points you were trying to get across.
Brilliant.
Much appreciated! Thank you for watching my friend. Means a lot 👍
Really appreciate the slower teaching here especially the trowel techniques.
I knew that would be something I would struggle with as a first timer. Thanks for making this video!!
Polishing plaster is a bad idea and most don't bother with it now. A good tutorial though, thank you. I always used to tell my plasterers to put one coat on, if the wall was new and straight (it was because I just built it) that's all it needed.
Your explanation and pointing out the important stuff is awesome!! Every plaster should see this, thanks!
I am wanting to learn and start doing it but was afraid to do it. Your easy to follow explanation gave me that push to just do it.. thanks 🙏
ive watched about 10 of your videos, so i decided to post a DIY plastering video and its gone Viral. So THANK YOU
Haha brilliant! Well done
Great video, you're a natural teacher mate. You go through all of the bits, the things to practice, the tools the terminology, I feel like a plasterer already and ive only just watched the video!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that - it means the world to me 👍
i'm a plasterer of many years, i could'nt have explained it better,, your work is clean and tidy, great job
How do plasterers skim large high hallways without the plaster going off i heard half at a time.
You made it looks so easy because you already know how to do it!
👍👍👍
Been doing this a few years now as a novice and I'm not too bad now. This is a good tutorial for beginners. Thanks for dedicating the time to explain the techniques. To all those who thumbed it down let's see you explain it any better!
Great content delivered clearly and confidently. I'll never understand the dislikes on your videos - I can only guess they're from jealous plasterers who don't know how to create similar content.
Thank you my friend! I really appreciate your kind words. Cheers 👍
Very good teacher you are showing slowly to make me understand
yo bro, you let me learn plastering (like all the others who makes videoś, but you were the only one who teached me to speed myself up, very good tips! thanx from nijmegen
Thank you so much for the video. Both of your videos I watched have been great for me who has never plastered before
Not a problem pal, thank you for watching! Glad you liked it and thank you for the support! Cheers 👍
The problem with learning about plastering on the internet is that there is so much regional variation in materials, techniques, weather and tradition. Not to mention what things are called even amongst people who speak english. I've been watching videos on youtube and every one is different.
Very nice presentation. Great advice in very calming manner. And the beauty of plastering if you mess it up just let it dry and do it again 🤭
im a spark...and up until now ...have only done bonding coat....now im doing refurbs and needed to learn how to plaster correctly. i mean proper, this guy has taken me through the entire process...and i am already getting smooth marble looking plaster after what i thought was one step....turns out its about 7 stages...first coat, flatten, second thinner coat, flatten, sponge, flatten lines, wet trowel, and cross trowel, and dry trowel
..... i learned the hard way , not to cut corners and get that excess platster off your coving and wood ...IMMEDIATELY...
I plastered ceiling, then left it for about a month...thought oh ill go and scrape off the excess on the coving........took ME 2 BLOODY DAYS UP A LADDER TO GET AROUND THE WHOLE ROOM..had to use a stanley knife and meticulousy scrape it off inch by inch...LESSON LEARNED.
THIS GUY IS THE KING OF PLASTERING.....YOU CAN learn to be a professional plasterer, just by following this guys training, like an apprentice.
Thank you for your kind words mate! I really appreciate it and well done for your success so far. We've all been there with the coving - it's a bugger to clean up ha! Cheers pal. Great hearing from you 👍
This the best video I’ve seen on plastering, nice one mate
Youre a better teacher compared to the others! Tks!!
Thank you mate. I really appreciate that 👍
That's beautiful.👍👍👍👍 Finish my job. I'm doing that plaster decorations.
👍👍👍
Fantastic video, thank you!
The first time I did a stucco patch I watched videos for hours and prepared everything. Put it on the hawk all excited to start went to put it on my trowel and plop. Straight on the ground. Took a couple times to get the technique lol
⁸
Great work 👏 after 11 years in an office job I'm starting my plastering journey next month!
Good luck my friend…all the best
How’s it going?
Awesome mate! Worked with some great lads these past 12 months... there is lots to learn but I'm building a portfolio and learning every day
I actually helped render the outside of a house last month with one of my teachers from school who also went into plastering, are you thinking of changing career too?!?
I have recently been on a course and got myself a unpaid plastering job soon and found your video most helpful! I have subscribed now and going to use your videos till I get confident in my practise. Thanks so much!
Good on you and well done my friend! Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing your results in the future 😉
All I can say is that your videos are really clear and informative. Moved intomy house that needs redeveloping throughout and done a couple of rooms but got a plasterer in. I really like my DIY and would be proud to say "I done all this" with more jobs so as everything is getting more expensive I am going to give the plastering a go myself and starting in a small closet. Missed out on a chance for the email tutorials but want to thank you for your advice, help, tips and clear demonstrations. HERE GOES !!!!
How'd it go Derek?
Good video. Cant help but laugh tho when at 7:24 he said practice getting the plaster on the trowel because people will get it on the flooor, and then at 7:57 proceeded to immediately fling chunks off the hawk 😂
This was so instructive....with everything explained and the reason for it. Many thanks. Regards from sunny Spain
Thank you for watching my friend - I really appreciate your kind words 👍
Brilliant! Naturally good at teaching this type of thing, very good
I’m a barber who’s bored in lockdown Wish me luck plastering ! Very informative video and great work 👏
Haha brilliant!! Good luck my friend 👍
Love seeing your videos come up mate. It’s like the next Marvel movie or episode of Breaking Bad!
Ha thank you Marcus I appreciate that pal! Hope you find it useful mate 👍
Plastering For Beginners - definitely mate! And I just got done watching this one. Loved the GoPro first person shots, loved the brews, top vid as usual. Btw as per my email weeks ago now, Monday I will definitely definitely definitely be following up on it. I’ll send an email Sunday night if that’s okay!
Probs the best instruction for beginners I've seen..
I'm a floor layer by trade and use a lot of feather finish on ply and solid floors.
And it's a similar thing.
Granted I've got gravity on my side 😁.
But it's still a total skill and art to get it right.
And this is a belter to get you going..
Nice one mate..🙌
Thank you very much. I ready appreciate that - thanks guy watching and all the best 👍
This was an good watch (all the way to the end). And now I know plastering isn't for me. At least I know/appreciate the process. Thanks for sharing.
Ha fair enough my friend! Thanks for watching 👍
Thank you for good lesson, o always wanted to learn about some of these work,as by doing it myself it will obviously save some money.
I've subscribed. I have a house where at least two walls need plastering, so your video will be very helpful when I actually get round to doing them. I'll of course watch your other uploads meanwhile! Thank you
Thanks for watching mate and I really appreciate you subscribing. All the best with the house and I look forward to hearing your results in the future! Cheers 👍
Really appreciate all the videos you put up mate. Great info with for anyone to take on. Im a builder and have been plastering for many years (defo not pro level), mainly small walls. Your tips and tricks have really helped me up my game. Thanks
New sub, great vids very helpful. Cheers 👍
Very good step to step guide to plastering. Well informing, all I now need is some plaster, tools and buckets.
And a wall.
Utterly brilliant, your course are the sole reason I'm now confident taking on small plastering jobs on.
Jobs I used to call others to do, I now complete with confidence and the finished results are very good!.
What was the job? I’m still not sure why this man is plastering a perfectly good wall. I recently had some contractor do some patchwork on our apartments bathroom where there were holes in some areas. Plastered and painted.
Hi Blaine
Absolutely love your videos, very clear , very well explained , who can resist giving it a a go after watching your tutorials. And all done out of goodwill .
I have a whole house to plaster
Thanks very much
How were the results?
outstanding teaching my friend shout out to ya definitely learn a lot today
Thank you it was very well presented. I now find it easier. I will practice. Thanks buddy.
This is an unreal video mate. Fair play
Thanks mate I really appreciate that! Cheers!
Excellent video, explanation, tips. Currently building a media wall and all walls and ceiling need plastering. Been debating getting a plasterer in but after your videos im going to give it a go. Worried about attempting the ceiling but will watch your videos lots more time and do the ceiling and one wall at a time. Thanks again man, great content. 👍
How'd it go? Want to try myself but had someone shit all over that idea by telling me they watched someone they knew try and failed.
Thanks I need this gonna be starting a new job plastering well thanks again
Brilliantly taught...such a great video for beginners thank you...
Great video, very detailed. I've heard plaster mix described vicariously as the consistency of yoghurt, crème fraiche and now thanks to your angel delight. 👍🔥
Haha that's the one mate!!
Thanks for the video(s) - I've never plastered before, but I want to learn, and this seems like top tier tips and demos. There is nothing better than a smooth plaster finish.
Hi enjoyed this video. Haven't plastered for a few years now, good refresher.
Larry.
Thanks mate - I hope the Plastering goes well and thanks again for watching!
Fantastic tutorial. Really appreciate the effort you went to here!! Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Besides that: if i’m gonna get forearms cut like you from plastering - I wanna get into this trade immediately!
You’re a very good teacher! Thanks.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it 👍
It's all in the prep the most efficient gang I have ever been in the boss was very well experienced been all over the world doing the trade we had a French guy join us who was a fibrous plasterer he did around 10 years over there in collage his knowledge was absolutely insane he could build moulding on site amazing guy i soon realised he was on another level and on the ball the site we was on the site Forman kicked the other gangs out after he seen us at work they was making a right mess tbf and covering half the area turning up stinking of drink we smashed it for a full 2 month like that it was the best experience I ever got those 2 guys really was a step above the rest not just saying it. I went into it think I wouldn't learn much but I came out with more speed and efficiency i was running rings around the old school guys at 23 my boss done a top job with me I can't say no bad he showed me the way 100% never seen anyone go like he could absolute machine!!! I did try and race him but it was just impossible his years of experience been fast and efficient was near impossible to catch and the quality never suffered I just didn't get what he was doing but a master never tells all his secrets the guy who learned him was into heritage stuff well known on that side so I can only dream of the stuff that guy showed him rest his sole he was a proper old school guy if you pulled the wrong way you was likely to get a slap or a hammer throw at you but it made my boss levels ahead I can't express how good he is. The amount of restoration work we did was probably part of why he was so good at the normal stuff we was usually on some dodgy h frame scaffolded with a massive radius ceiling what no one would have any part of sometimes he would say we are living the dream and it left me scratching my head until I matured I understand what he meant after some house bashing brain dead work that stuff.
Wow, what a brilliant story, how lucky were you to be taught by someone so dedicated to his art and skill. You can't beat working one to one with a craftsman. One question, how does a customer know how to choose a superb plasterer over a very average one? Thanks x
Carol Cassidy you can tell a lot from how a job is priced maybe they measure every wall or ceiling noting it down you can for sure see they are very professional. Maybe you have to wait to get them in a sign of been busy. None of this is a definite maybe you can find a really good builder and he has a good set of plasterers but definitely don't let the builder do the job. The place to look on a plasters work is window reveals for been 100% straight especially the corners and beads make sure there full and corners of walls the same.
@@deeeeeeeench1209 Thank you very much for taking time to reply. I just phoned Blaine up to ask a few questions. I left him a girlie message, and he just phoned me back after about 15 minutes. What an absolutely fantastic lad he is so helpful, He has told me to search for a local plasterer, and look for the one with the best reviews. I did offer if he wanted to make a video at my house he could, so you never know...
I have been a victim of buying a show house with all the walls covered in wallpaper. When it all got stripped off there was probably just a first coat of wet plaster underneath, the smell was terrible and the walls were a really dark red brown colour. It's impossible to paint the outside wall indoors, without the shadow of a breeze block wall showing through. I love my house so much, been here for 32yrs, but the awful inside walls do get me down. I have no idea how many thousands of pounds it would cost me to get it put right now. I wish I could put it right myself, but early on set Osteoporosis has put a stop to that. I am not supposed to get up a ladder after breaking both hips within 3 years. But I have learned so much from this channel. I only just realised that rendering is plastering outside. I have been trying to find out how it was done for years !! I am a new subscriber now.
Very handy tips , thank you very much.
Thank you for watching mate!
Hi Blaine, just wanted to say a massive Thankyou. Your videos gave me the confidence to tackle my spare room. Two walls down and my arms hurt like …. But I’m so happy with the result so far. Plenty of lessons learned (like how quickly the plaster goes off in the bucket 😂). Two more walls to go but at least I know what’s possible. Best of luck to you for the future and thanks again 😊
Well done my friend! It’s great to hear that it’s helped and thank you for watching. I really appreciate it…cheers 👍
Failure
Spot on buddy..pls do a k-rend video from start to finish. cheers
Thank you mate I appreciate the support! It won't be until next year now my friend - the weather's turning for the worst so I'll be avoiding any major rendering jobs now! Sorry 😭
@@PlasteringForBeginners no worries mate ill wait with anticipation! :)
Haha cheers mate!
Thank you, very inspiring , you´re clearly a professional plasterer
Thank you for watching!!
Absolutely fab will let you know how I get on !!!
