The way a DIY video should be done! Awesome! No chattering about things unrelated... No banter about your life... Like Sargent Joe Friday said, "Just the facts, Ma'am."
Glad you liked it and hope it helped
This video really helped me as Ive stripped my flat and I didn't know how to feel in holes in the walls i can't afford to pay somebody so I'm doing the work myself i don't have anybody to teach me what to do or do it for me so you tube videos have been my life saver by uk people really helped me
American videos I find they use different skills
And also i love this man I used to watch him on a tv programme where him and team off people did makeovers on family's homes :) xxx
"American videos I find they use different skills " also know as much better & less complicated like the Brits. Work smarter...not harder.
@@BobSmith-mc7uq The country where everybody wants to get rich quick, do everything half assed and you get 1001 infomercials selling gadgets and gimmicks that don't work long term. So yeah, different skills, for different build styles.
I’m at this point in my life as well. About to do the work myself.
...you can do this girl! Dive into all the info you can
I know - I've learned it also :)
@@BobSmith-mc7uq many houses here are brick built, lots over 100 yrs old and lath and plaster or layered plaster... not plasterboard over wood frames so skills and materials needed are very different.
A product called plaster weld works well when applying new plaster to old loose plaster it’s essentially glue that solidifies any loose surfaces you paint it on
Where can we get the plastic weld at? I’ve used it before when I was a helper but never asked where it came from?
Very good straight-to the-point approach. There are 3 loose laths that bend to your finger's touch. Someone's fist went through the plaster. Applying a stiff fiberglass or galvanised steel mesh patch fixed to the laths would have stiffened them. Also once you apply the filler plaster push in some fiberglass mesh into the freshly applied plaster. Then trowel it in to make it smooth. Just to make sure the next fist finds some more resistance.... Great technique
How do you fix the stiff fibreglass to the lath?
@@ItsJustRyan89 with galvanised steel or stainless steel staples or a short piece of galvanised strap nails( the ones you use to join timber trusses in the roof) The idea is to immobilise the laths so that if someone leans on the wall, the moving laths will not loosen and crack the plaster. If this is not practical apply the plaster as shown but then sand/grind away about 2-3mm of the plaster including an inch or so around the circumference of the hole. Now apply a large patch of fibreglass mesh which covers the hole and the extra area and repatch with plaster.
@@redpost2380 thank you so much
Craig is great at explaining jobs in simple and easy to follow terms.
Yeah which bonding agent did you use? PVA? BlueGrit? What grit sandpaper did you use, 40, 60, 80 then switch to 180? Beginners won't be able to fill in the gaps you've left with guesswork - so be precise.
It's like an episode of Art Attack. Love it
Oooh classic!
great explanation, no waffle or ego, the 110 dislikes must have been jealous ;-)
Waffle and cheese?
I always thought one strike was for nothing more than pin holes. You learn something new every day(and I'm a decorator by trade)😮
Best of 10 similar I've seen. Concise and clear - Thank you.
I know it is kinda off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Hassan Roland Lately I have been using Flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Jackson Armando yea, been watching on FlixZone for since april myself :D
@Jackson Armando Thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!
@Hassan Roland No problem =)
Good video , good teacher I've done plaster repairs myself but there's always something to learn.
Patch plastering is one of the easiest techniques to learn as this easy to follow vid shows.
Very well explained. What's more, he presents it in such a way I believe I can do it. Brilliant.
I did my own walls yesterday after learning from this vid. Thanks!
Where do I find the tools?
Thank heavens for this video. I have plaster in my old home and the projects seeed daunting. I appreciate the directions.
Hi, any details on the plastering adhesive used at the beginning?
Pva
Such a thorough professional!!!!!!! Hats off!!!!!!
I have a 190 yr old house with horsehair plaster. I've done walls and patched plenty of them. Some entire walls. Durabond 90 (Brown bag) is awesome for this. It has a bonding agent in it. The trick with this stuff is to finish it wet, well, setting up and firm. You can get it smooth as glass.
Yup, that stuff is great. I use Durabond for plaster cracks with tape.
And yes, must be clean with the patching as it’s not very sandable.
I love the tips that you provide. I hadn’t patched holes for a few years so I watched your video as a refresher before I started. Cheers!
How did it go for you?
@@abaque24oo
Well done Craig, I like the technique of taking the excess off. Thanks for the help and to Silverline tools. Great video.
Great instruction, great tutorial in man you make it look like it’s going to last it looks like a good repair. We have a house built in 1915 old farmhouse and it has patches for sure. We will give it our best to make it look like you did. Thank you so much. From Idaho, USA.
Thanks and good luck! Let us know how you get on
Excellent video and I like the step by step directions.
Dude your an absolute legend 🙌, I've seen some of your other videos about a year ago. Keep up the good work 👏
Thanks! plenty more videos on the channel
Nice work. There's a lot of space between those laths.
Cheers Craig av a few really crumbly bits in my kitchen hopefully turns out as good as yours😁
Fingers crossed!
I've been doing some renovations in my home that hasn't had care in 70 years. I have been using an electric sander with different grades of sandpaper for fragile walls and smoother finishes and this has worked out great. I've done the majority now and just removed the wallpaper on another room to find yet more neglect, I've really been struggling with patching some of the bigger holes however I think your slight of hand trick works great!
Very clear demo.. Thanks.
then paste up the thickest lining paper you can find to hold the rest of the wall together
Hahahaha
Wish i had this teacher through school id be a rocket scientist now 😅 amazing
This is beautiful its like a diy art attack yay!
That's not the art attack guy
I subscribed just off this video. It had everything I needed to know!
I have a very small area to plaster before re-tiling (only two tiles!), so this video was very helpful.
Brilliant teacher, Craig.
I find yeh video pare- fict!!! Honestly thank you!
Very helpful
Thank you
Glad it helped, doing some repairs?
Excellent teacher. Thank you man
Thanks
Thanks for the video Craig. I've got bigger holes to fill, but wasn't sure what to do regarding the crumbling plaster. Now I know!
Thank you for your help, very useful information.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent clear advice!!! Thank you from New York! 🇺🇸
Great video!! My whole is much bigger but this gave very good tips.
Glad it was helpful!
I was so confused to why the walls are crumbling whenever I drill anything. I tried to pull a nailed wood from the wall, and this explains what I found underneath. Literal hair, stones and sand.
Looks like he used:
Everbuild Universal PVA Bond 501 (adhesive) in what looks like a Polycell Polyfilla Quick Drying 0.6kg container and
Everbuild One Strike Filler (premixed plaster)
Other adhesive options include: Plaster Weld, Damtite Bonding Primer Adhesive or Weld Bond
You remind me of Art Attack awesome vid help out loads thank you sir.
I heard that drywall mud won't stick. I use screen inside of mine. Helps stiffen the area up. I've had good luck with the Dap professional spackling with the black top. I have plaster board, the prerunner of drywall. Most of the time I just have paint peeled areas. The only places I've had problems is cracked areas. You need to V notch the area and build these areas up.
Very helpful thanks for this video
Our pleasure
Thanks Craig
You are very welcome!
Better than anything on Big Brother Craig, cheers for the tips
Excellent instruction!

This guy has come a long way from big brother
Thanks
great video brilliant info
Thanks, hope it helped
Thank you
You're welcome
Really, learning from you is fun. Thanks!
The blue mask at the end killed me hahaha 😅
I love that. Brilliant.
Hope it helped as well!
I’ve been told that lime plastered walls (with or without hair) need to breathe, and the pva stops that, while a little hole like that will be ok as not breathable surely best practice would be to just use ready mix lime top coat and spray the area with water first for adhesion?
As far as the technique, I’ll try the slidey from the middle thing
The pva he mixed was diluted heavily with water
Yes, you are correct in that lime plastered walls need to breathe. The watered down PVA/ water mix slows down the suction of water from the filler into the substrate, as well as captures any loose dust. Too much suction and the filler can dry too quickly and crack.
As the other poster stated, PVA mix was heavily diluted with water so all good in this instance.
Such a great video, and just what I was looking for! Thank you
So glad!
Craig big bother oi oi, ill have a crack at fixing my bathroom that i just pulled all the tiles off and it ripped some skim plaster off! cheers
Ohhh Nooo! let us know how you get on. Hope the video helped
Excellent...EXCELLENT tutorial.... yes‼️‼️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Learned never use premixed plaster if it is half inch in depth & wide it will crack much better to mix the plaster will be much stronger.
Yes
We had a decorator in a few years ago who painted some water repellant paint on part of a wall because I thought we had penetrating damp - I now know it was only condensation. However, the paint has destroyed what was once sound plaster underneath. I've taken the plaster off and I'm down to the stone and mortar underneath. Is this type of plaster good for stone or is there another product I should use?
Allah bless this geezer he's a king
Very good job
DEAR GOD THANK YOU!!!
@silverlinetools What’s the name of the sealer you are using? I’m doing a wall repair and found my walls need something like that!
Just a PVA mate, checkout B&Q, just make sure you dilute it slightly before applying
Very nice voice you should narrate for a living haha. Thank you for the video.
Great video !
thanks!
No problem!
good instruction. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
nice.
Hey guys is the Premixed light wait plaster ....... just light wait filler??.. if it is I have loads of that.... it does say it can do the job...just wondered how big a hole it could do
Yes
Great demonstration thank you
Very clear and useful video, thanks. But what is the ready-mixed plaster you're using?
Onetime Spackling or 3M Patch plus primer Spackling if you're in America or Polycell plaster repair in UK
Bo selecta!
Thank you so much
Hi i have 2 holes next to my door frame. It consists of thin plaster over the top of i think cement and i can see a woodframe underneath..whats the best course of action..cant afford a plasterer so need do it myself..thanx
I have a hole in tile over plaster that used to support the toilet seat cover dispenser. When I removed the dispenser I saw that the screw on the loose side was in a cork that had come out of the now too large hole. I tried to repair with a 1/8 toggle but there wasn't enough room at the end of the hole for the toggle to open and hold. If I fill the hole with plaster will it hold the screw now without the cork?
Can you use a light joint compound over the final wall to avoid all of that Sanding
Cool. Easy. Thank you.
Useful and love the accent
Thanks Craig... Been stripping wood chip off a wall that hasn't been fully plastered since 1937 and the plaster coming off in the areas the builders installed new wiring 40 years ago .... what didn't come off with the wallpaper needs chipping out and re plastering .... This old bird is going to have a go... can't be any worse than the botched job 40 years ago.... hehehe
How did it go?
@@falconeaterf15 Oh my goodness that was a year ago.... yes I had a go... chipped off the worst areas down to brick and just layered it up to a smooth finish before wallpapering .... took a while but thanks for your demo!
Ty for giving us a quick run down on the materials “horse hair” 🤣
It is what it says, hair from horses, it was used in the past as a fibrous material to reinforce the type of rendering they used.
The hair from tails would be regularly cut to keep them short and clean, and this hair was used for all sorts of things, eg. as fillings in upholstery, and the use made here.
Yup - our house is 300 years old and in the 30 years we've lived there we've had odd bits of plaster come off with laths behind. You can see the horse hair in the old plaster. They are the real thing - coarse brown hairs!
Can you recommend where to get the pre-mixed adhesive you apply before the plaster?
its PVA glue. The type that kids use at school to stick things with.
What is the pre mixed sealer called? Is there a specific brand to get? Thsnks for the help.
The pre mixed adhesive… does anyone have a good recommendation for it?
I would like to know this as well!
Can you give examples of the sealing agent?
What kind of premix adhesive?
What pre mixed adhesive are you using? I'd love to buy some. Also in regards to the filler your using.. What is that,, lightweight plaster?
Its filler not plaster and takes 2 days which is a joke
I think it was Everbuilds
How do you stop to other plaster around it from crumbling. My kitchen wall behind my sink is crumbling.
You'll need to find out if the source of the damp has been fixed, then take all the crumbly plaster out and do what Craig has done here
Any recommendations on sandpaper grades to use?
I'm working on an old house with lead paint. Any sanding tip?
what do you if its hole a bit bigger for example 80x80cm and its on the cap???
I've got a hole at bottom of wall due to a bit of damp. damp sorted so can I do this?
Yes sure
Horse hair?! Building materials have come a long way...
MrCube17 It is an excellent natural reinforcing material.
Whats Craig doing out the cupboard?
He escaped
I listened to this while working on something else. Because of this voice’s timbre and accent, I kept thinking, when did a Dave Lister get skills?
