    Most contractors can't understand it, but doing little jobs for free (not always, just every now and then, when you are in the mood) can get you really far. It costs 1 hour of your work, but it's almost guaranteed, that person you did that for, will praise you among friends, family and neighbors. That is cheapest form of advertising and from my experience, also most effective.

      Suppose it depends if the contractor feels that they need the work. But it would make a nice change from the plumber who came out to cut a hole in my ceiling, tell me there was a leaky pipe (wow, really?), then never return (but still sent an invoice).

      Glue always deteriorates in a way.
      Some of them keep hardening and get brittle and some of them are vulnerable to things like humidity and so on.
      Besides, the glue will only stick to the surface of the board which is paper and that will easily tear off.
      A screw goes all the way through the board and uses the total integrity of the material for strength.
      So gluing is not a safe solution if something is literally hanging above your head.
      This is a small piece but a full sized plasterboard can hurt you if it comes down.
      So screws are a far stronger and thus safer way to apply this.
      That’s why in the building regulations it’s mandatory to use screws for mounting ceilings and side walls.

    Addicted to true tradesmen videos and just found you and you know what's next - you're the best! Spent a lot of time behind a plumbing crew patching. I could have made a lot more moolah had I used more plaster and less hot drywall compound. At least I made it to retirement where I can watch your videos all day long.

    I've been doing my own plastering for going on 15 years now, and I'm still learning stuff from you. Never would have thought of using a scratcher to mix small quantities

    Love the videos Kirk , your a star mate , I’m a spread too , wanted to mention I tend to pop a few screws around the outer edge of the old ceiling around the cut edge to eliminate possible bounce from not knowing how far back the nest fixings might be .

    I don’t even know why I’m watching this.
    I’m never going to plaster anything, but this popped up, and you were so engaging.
    Great job!

    You sir are a legend and have been watching you from the start of your channel.
    I now use a couple of your tips and can't believe how it's improved my plastering..
    All the best to you and your family and look forward to all the new content 👍

    Woefully late to viewing this video, and an earlier one on plaster, but in this video title you mention “hack”…, sir, it is quite apparent that your work is not “hack” work…, it is one of a professional tradesman, craftsman, and I might add “artist”.
    I am constantly amazed to watch folks like yourself, do these types work. I am a frustrated tile, and sheetrock “hack”. Your desire to not charge this customer for more work (as a result of somebody else’s shabby work ethic) is very noble… You may not ever see this customer again, but you don’t have any idea of the return on (investment), that gesture. If I was in that customers shoes I would have insisted on paying you as well.
    Great video, I am now a subscriber from the U.S., of A.
    Thank you sir.
