Every Plasterer is going to FAIL...but you need to know why it happens and learn how to avoid it. Because this trap will stop you from getting results!
There's 1 thing that stops plasterers from progressing and there's one thing that's going to make you FAIL! That's what I'm going to cover in todays video.
This is the last part of the "Plasterers Crash Course" and it's probably the most important lesson you can learn in plastering. I know that sounds a bit dramatic but you need to know how to control your plaster.
This means that when you're plastering a wall you know what your doing. It means that you can stop the plaster from setting which means you'll get a nice, flat smooth finish with ease. That's what I want to teach you in todays video.
As I mentioned, This is part 5 in a series called "Plastering For Beginners Crash Course". We'll show you the full process to plastering so make sure to subscribe so you don't miss any future videos.

I can back that .been plastering 25 years and still can get caught out on odd occasions. Knowing your substrate is one of the biggest things in plastering you need to know and get right for an easy (er) life
Blaine, your a Top bloke! I'm a self taught sort of DIY plasterer that gets by but your tips and tricks are Phenomenal mate and have given me so much more scope and belief in myself. Keep it up! All the Best 👍🏻
Great information - please make a video on prepping and skim coating an existing plaster wall (80+years). I would love to see your tips for doing a ceiling too. I wish we could get the same materials here in the USA.
I’m on it ha! The best video shoot cover this…keep an eye out for it 👍
@@PlasteringForBeginners it would be incredibly helpful!
Would you ever wet the wall down before putting your topcoat on instead of pva(ing) it? When plastering on top of hardwall or sand and cement or even bonding?
So if you have different types of substrate and you want to plaster over the whole lot with the same mix of plaster, just make sure you seal it all in with two or more coats of pva mix first? The pva acts as a barrier between the substrate and the top coat? I’m glad you made this video. 👍
Exactly that mate - it reduces the rate of suction and gives the plaster a chance to cure 👍
Fantastic beginners video, had my plastering buisiness 23 years now, love hate job but pays well.
Thanks mate. Much appreciated!!
Great vids, I'm planning on starting plastering in about 6 month so these vids are really helpful 👌
Finally know how people are talking about mike Smith mentioned you a few times to me and I used yo work with alex/alan years ago
Why do you leave the floated wall for days before you skim it?
I've been plastering for 40 years and we always floated in the morning and skimmed in the afternoon.
Never failed.
I assume it was due to time constraints of filming
Pete I agree float till 12 then set old school rules
I used my sponge float the other day for the first time in ages, maybe years. I had a ceiling going off on me a lot quicker than anticipated so I sponged it and got straight back on it flattening it. Not my finest hour but got the ceiling flat and finished fine. I won't go on a job without my sponge float now
Great video master Blaine. What are them sponge floats that you use. ?
This was a Refina fine Sponge Float which I usually use for Rendering. But the Refina Medium Sponge Floats are the best for situations like this 👍
Brilliant video thanks bud
Good lesson. I had to learn this by experience. Well explained bravo. But clean your trowel.
Blaine as always seem to have come across this you tube video too late , i pva the wall neat and than plastered it with 2 coats however it would seem i didn't control the suction to well as now that its dried it has a few hairline cracks in it , what my best course of action fill or scrape off and do again. thanks
Nice vid Blaine. Very important I would say! Do you still recommend using Plasterers Pregrit over PVA?
Hi Mr Blaine. I have been following you for years and your videos have helped me to plaster my whole house with excellent results, to the point my friends are amazed by. I am curious though, who is the person behind the camera? You refer to ‘We’, but who is it ??????
Top bloke, you are a good tutor and an excellent plaster 👍
Great Videos! Would be good to have a video what to do if this has happened to someone and the potential repair method, is it a full reskim or is there a way of patching?
Great suggestion! I’ll look into it mate 👍
Hi. Good video. But why you not big fan sponge float????
What would I do if the first Finnish coat dried before the second coat. Would I need to pva again
Hola el "PVA" que es en España? Cola blanca? Puente de Unión?.... gracias
Why don't you use a roller for your pva
I’m getting there slowly - I’m slowly being converted! I just hate the splash back on my arm hairs 😂
can't you just use pva if you have to leave it
So does bonding have a different suction rate than hardwall? If you just pva or Pregrit bonding agent any substrate before topcoat plaster, it should be fine? Is that a good rule of thumb?
Yeah, Bonding has a totally different rate of suction which is why the “wet PVA” test is handy to know. Bonding is a lot less porous and generally needs less PVA. But test it - when the PVA starts to sit on the surface and stops being absorbed then you’re good to go 👍
@@PlasteringForBeginners Marvellous! There is so much to learn and I’m loving it. I’ve still never mixed any plaster or had any on a trowel in my life but I’m doing my homework before I do. I’ve bought a load of gear but no idea. 😆 I’ll be fine, I just want to be a bit clued up before I commit to plastering my walls (and ceilings).
Why not just spray the base coat with water before you start, its a lot cheaper than PVA
Awesome videos from a 72 year old retired Plasterer 😂😂😂
Thank you mate. I really appreciate that - all the best!
Always skim hardwall the same day
Naughty...you said in your earlier video that you were going to remove your screeds...I wouldn't have either to be honest...to much faff 😅
What makes you think he hasn't?
@@stevenmitchell7332 You can see he hasn't.....
Ha well spotted! It’s my garage so I’m running a little experiment. I want to see if the screeds crack over time…since it’s not timber and they’re beeded on the same substrate I want to see what happens.
I’m just intrigued. But don’t try it yourself because I don’t know the results yet 😂
@Plastering For Beginners back in the day would have used sand n cement on any hard wall ,would have put my screeds on day before out of the same...then next day same process as you, as the screeds are made from same materials there should be no cracking 😉as for the plasterboard ones,if its bedded with board adhesive should be good to go as long as you got 3-4mm of top coat...retired now but watching your vids makes me wanna get my 25yr old marsheltown out...miss it
Respect for your time served mate. I bet your a master of the trade - I’m still young into it really. And I’d love to see that trowel.
I bet it’s broken in like a dream.
Thanks for watching - I really appreciate it. Great hearing from you 👍
ok never ever let ur base coat dry,always skim it same day multi finish is a awfull product for dry backgrounds the old carlite finish was much better product u could skim the following day..
So any future damp issues and all the plaster will fall off when the PVA liquefies .
Should be using SBR
Sorry I’m confused…who mentioned Damp?? It’s not a damp wall. Gypsum plasters are the last thing to use in a damp situation. This is just a wall that’s been floated up on nice, dry blocks.
how your doing it is exactly the way I’ve always done it PVA internally SBR externally unless the walls have been tanked out👍
Soak wall with water sprayer . Pva 1 coat . Job done.
👍👍👍
Use SBR no problem hardly a learning video doing it all wrong!!! You heard of gyprime???
Gyprime is awsome stuff expensive though but does the job spot on 💯
It’s a comparison video showing the effects of a wall that’s not prepped correctly. A lot of beginners won’t know the repercussions and I’m hoping this will point it out.
The correct way is to actually Float and set the same day, (plaster Hardwall 3+hours later). No need for primer… The video to that is below if anyone is interested

Awesome! Set of videos mate. Really good. Learn loads. Nice one 👍👍
Thanks mate…I really appreciate you watching! Cheers
You are the business!! I took the plunge on my first attempt on plasterboard after watching days of your videos and it went ok-ish with some minor imperfections. Then I attempted a hard wall with one coat 3:1 PVA- DISASTER!! All cracked and peeling and I couldn't understand why. So a thousand thanks for this!!! 👍👍😘
do ou mean by a tight coat.........sorry a bit new
A very thin coat 😉
I always struggle with it dying too quick. This helped ta.
SBR much more controlled
I’m in the US and the products are so different-no gypsum-told not to use PVA just water - I did use it with gypsum plaster. The nuance of experience can’t be taught . I suppose I’ll make my mistakes . Great videos though
Thanks for putting these together, I’ve had various degrees of success in doing my own plastering over the years, bought an ox blade now which I can see will help me greatly, cheers.
2x coats of 3:1 then coat of 2:1 was what I was taught years ago….then start skimming when pva is tacky not wet. Never had any issues.
Preparation is key.
👍👍
what does this mean? i want to plaster a masonry unit wall outside my house
very good video well explained !
Thank you mate!
Might be useful to give some thoughts and advice around mist coats in terms of prep for decorating freshly plastered walls.
Great point! Cheers pal!
1 part paint to 4-5 parts water best base coat for new plaster. Apply 2-3 coats and it works it’s way into the new plaster pores. Roller applied or airless spray pot.
Screwfix - No Nonsense Bare Plaster Paint.... Amazing stuff! I haven't bothered mist costing in years now... Self taught plastering (with lots of help from you too Blaine) which I enjoy doing (mainly at home, but small jobs when my guys are busy)
The bare plaster paint is so thick & it goes against everything you've learned about the mist coat, but trust me it covers unbelievably!
I airless sprayed my mum's HSL once my plastering buddy's finished up & it was fully covered in 1 coat (as spray can apply heavier & smoother) but I did go on top with a finished paint that's more wipeable. It may be more expensive but you wouldn't get it from bare plaster to what looks like finished in 1 coat, no streaks / patches.. I hope they never stop selling it 😂
@@treenahally4358 I do a 50/50 mix of basic white emulsion and water. Two coats is usually enough.
Top coat should always be thinner bro otherwise it’s too wet and u will end up with bubbles and poor finish if your not careful
Very true for an overskim…but with Hardwall the first coat seals so fast which eliminates the air trapping between coats which creates the bubbles.
But very true in every other situation.
Blaine please tell me how yu git rid of your tennis elbow? Every time I lay on it flares up
Love your content..how you verbalise your content. How you make it easier for people to understand. This is not how I make a living. But I love plastering as a welder/fitter it's similar you end up with something that's finished and completely transformed and usable again like plastering. Top videos. The collages could do with a tradesmen like your self that's able to translate your trade from paper to actual content. Super videos my best friend gave me the ability to plaster. You gave me the ox speedskim 🍻🏴👏
ua-cam.com/video/Cq_lMuVkxK4/v-deo.html I'm not a plasterer but ive consumed loads of your ace content and delivery. May I ask (at the link) what do you mean by 'plaster half the amount'?...Thanks buddy 🙂
love the vids but why dont you just use febond blue grit or Bostik Cementone Plasterers Stabilising Primer (Bostik Cementone Plasterers Stabilising Primer this one is much better in my opinion)
I fail because I am a complete numpty at putting up plaster lol. One skill I've never been able to get to grips with. My attempts look like Ive used polyfiller lol.
Hi, best method to use for wavey artex celling. Thank you
Great video but why don't you use SBR
Can you spray the PVA on ?
Best to just drink it
Are you using pva sealer or pva glue?
Float and set same day eliminates all need for pva and sets lovely
That’s the one mate. No primer needed! The video to that is below for anyone who wants to see the correct way to solid Plastering:
I just wanted to highlight the issues to a wall that’s badly prepped 👍

@@PlasteringForBeginners sorry mate my bad I haven’t seen that video👍🏻
No worries mate! Thanks for pointing it out - I forget to mention things in videos so it’s good to jog my memory. Cheers 👍
@@PlasteringForBeginners haha no worries mate , iv been a plasterer for nearly 20 years and I still watch videos to see if I can make it any easier
Hope it helps my friend! Thanks for watching 👍
If your not sure pva
Thank you dude
Good video mate.. In your last one you said you had to either remove the dot and dab or use a mesh over it. How come you didn't do either?
Cheers pal! Just replied but I’m doing a little experiment. I want to see if the join cracks since it’s a solid fixing running through the Hardwall.
I’m just intrigued. It would be great to leave the screeds in knowing that they won’t crack so I’m just testing to see if you can.
But like I said in the last video, do it right! If it cracks then it’s in my garage and I don’t mind. It a ordina personal experiment! I’ll keep you all informed on the results 👍
@@PlasteringForBeginners Awesome, learning a lot from these videos dude
Thanks for watching matey!
sponge float plastering is utterly superior to not sponging
What a guy brilliant videos love them all 👍💪
Haha cheers mate!
@@PlasteringForBeginners can I ask i have sand stone lintel on my front door out side and they are sort of crumbling how would you render that (what mix) would you use if that makes sense 👍
