An old plasterer I know used to keep some of his dirty water for the end of the day. The final mix he'd pour in the dirty water to make the plaster go off quickly so he could finish off and get to the pub. An old experienced plasterers trick, he'd been a plasterer from the age of 15 until he retired at 67.
20 years "on the trowel" and it amazes me how many tips you can still pick, up tips to make your work more efficient, content like this are a wealth of info for new plasterer and older ones , keep up the great work Kirk👊
I been doing it a while and a old boy showed me a trick for removing woodchip wallpaper he got an old bag of plaster mixed it up and layer it all over the wall and it literally falls off so easily bit messy but works a bloody treat 😂
You can always tell a good plasterer who takes pride in his work as he thinks of the tradesman coming behind him. And most plasterers I've encountered leave a mess and doing so is not respect or professional. So you Sir are one of the few a master of your trade👍
Literally the best plastering channel. Should be massive. 20 years a plasterer. Big up yourself 🎉
Hi, I have been a carpenter in the trade for 40 years and your the best plasterer I have seen .
I'm a spread too. He's excellent isn't he! Takes pride in his work.
As a spark, I have no idea how I came across these videos but I can’t stop watching them!!! Keep it up
Glad you like them!
As a spark what happened to cable zones !?
@@Adam-ElectricalMy thoughts exactly!
That's what a good tradesmen does thinks about the next trade coming in after them not many of those left.
As I tiler, I can confirm he’s gonna be happy coming back into that new wall 👍
Nothing better than tiling on a freshly plastered wall
Thanks
Wow... thankyou very much mate, means alot 🙏
Wish I’d found you sooner, just moved into a new house and needed a plasterer, found someone but watching your vids I wish we got you in!
So many positives here. 'On The Trowel' is setting a great example for great quality workmanship, and consideration for other trades. Having been a snagger and handyman, back in the day, I can say that what he makes look easy to do, really really isn't easy to do. It takes years of hard earned pactice and dedication to become this good. The ability to share that skill and the wealth of knowledge and learning behind it, so good. Really appreciating this 🙂
its great idea to use those channels for backblocks instead of timber. Probably cheaper too. Good job mate! 🍻
Thinking of the other trades that are coming in after! Absolute dream of a plasterer😂
Nice to take the kids out to see where the money actually comes from.....I took my 14 yr old out with me the first time he got suspended from school and 13 years later he's still by my side and a master at the game
Still find it incredible how neat you are around sockets and general pain in the a** bits.🙌
Thanks Chris
An absolute Master at work.
Old school top man great to see it done the proper way you remind me of how I do it great plastering 👍
I'm a carpenter in Ireland and I've just spent over 2 hrs watching your videos. Fair play to you for the generosity of your knowledge and the sharing of it. Tradesmen, for some reason, can be notoriously cagey about passing on all the little things that they've picked up over the years.. I thoroughly enjoyed your attention to detail. And glad to know that im not the only saddo who likes to read a good technical spec..
Put a few handful of cement in the bonding . Works like a treat u don't have to wait for bonding to go off then .
That’s what we do, we call it doping up gose like a rocket 😊
True works really well
Causes efflorescence cow boy shit wee bit of finishing in your bonding mix lads goes along way.
Halftime in bonding magic powder
@@ziggymurdoch finish won't speed it up if anything make it creamy and slower!!
Hi kirk,
Your videos are so informative and helpful.
I'm a multitrade guy and do my own plastering, so it's all good information, and you seem a bloody good guy.
Cheers
Kirks done all my plastering / rendering for many years! Wouldn't use anyone else 👌
As I type this I'm just finishing one of your jobs Daz 👌🤣
You do seem a really good bloke!
You can’t beat your apprentice up! 😂😂😂😂
It's nice to see a plasterer that cares about following trades. Fitting skirting boards to newly plastered walls that are way shy of the floors and having to pack them out, not to mention the plaster flaring out at the bottom like a ski ramp. If some plasterers had to fit them they'd soon mend their ways, but they don't have to so they won't bother.
I feel your pain. I have spent the last 30 years hacking plaster off the bottoms of walls to get my skirtings to sit flat.
It’s a common theme with all trades, I’m a plasterer and decorator, electricians and plumbers ruin walls and ceilings, plasterers leave mess everywhere and make life difficult for chippies, chippies do shit work and finally us decorators come along and have to fix it all. Such is life
I'm not a plasterer. Milkman now. Used to be a Bricklayer improver in the eighties. Got out the game. big mistake. However love watching you work. Fascinating for me. Subscribed. Keep up your great work and work ethic. Brilliant!
Nice to see a fellow spread 2 coating, not cadge 1 coat. 1 tip from me bud and I've been doing it 25 year nearly now aswell. Even with the half time in bud flattering the first coat with the speedskim leaves whole job better and gives an extra 10 mins to washout at the end when on your todd.
Go on our mais!!! 💪💪💪 get her grafting mate 🤣🤣🤣 fair play to her 💯
Great video Kirk & Maisie, been watching you for a while now and loved every one 😊
Great camera work Kirk. I hope you paid her well. Lovely job as always.
Just starting plastering only done a tiny bit on a couple of our jobs but I’m really enjoying it and have found you to get some tips and tricks. Great stuff keep it coming because they really help 👍
Little bit lime in bonding goes of like a treat, great job as usual 👍
Great edit Kirk 👍🏻
Brilliant this mate. Not been plastering long my self. I know I'm a bit old in the game but just small things I'll do. These explain more than anyone I've known this is brilliant thanks mate.
I had a bloody kitchen ceiling come down on me a few years back due to grease! It was pva,d ( I use SBR-grit) now! So I don’t reskin kitchens anymore! Just overboard ! I’ve only just got a multi tool myself and don’t know how I managed all these years without it lol! Oh and halftime is a game changer 👏👏
Love the relationship you and masie have. It's priceless.
Great video. Thank you, Kirk and Masie. 😊👍
Just found your Channel. Never knew I'd enjoy a plastering channel! Love your reason for making this as well, it would have been amazing if we had videos of our grandparents and parents lives!
Thank you for thinking about diffrent trades man ! All the best
you are a passionate pro and attention to detail is top draw keep up the good work
Absolutely brilliant
Hi Kirk great vid , I have been a builder for 30 years , I do a lot of my plastering . I renovated a three storey stone house in south west France, and plastered it throughout. Just want to say very informative video and Ime still getting great tips from you. Your good guy great work
Not many want to tell trade secrets that most of us have had to learn the hard way, much respect for how you explain everything so clearly. This really is a godsend to people getting in the trade. What I would of given to watch videos like this on a phone, crazy.
Cheers mate
Great work mate 👌 top man!!
I love yr videos I've learned so much from them as I've just gone on my own plastering after yrs of been with the same old boy sadly he's to old now I was just a labourer when I started with him now I'm a confident plasterer I owe him alot otherwise I would of still just been a labourer he wouldn't let me give up if I would get my hair off and say I can't do this he would say yes u can keep going bless him
Mornin captain!!
I’ve been plastering for about 11 12 years and I love the speedskim I use the 1.2m st blade and I finish ceilings with my speedskim took time to get used to how to do it but the ceilings look really really good when painted
i do electrics and not a clue about plastering but still enjoy watching your vids
Cheers mate, thanks for the support
The amount of kitchens and bathrooms I get asked to tile and I come in and find they haven't plastered far enough up/down a wall it does my head in...good to see how you think of the other tradesmen that have to come in after you
Customers brave getting a kitchen fitted day after it being plastered 😬 hopefully they didn’t damage your great work mate …. Nice touch about spending the day with your daughter mate , grow up to fast don’t they 😫
Thanks Kirk. I love your videos and look forward to new ones everything. I couldn’t see how you put the furring bar in the gap in the ceiling. I came across same problem and had a spare one sitting in the garage. I didn’t even consider it as an option. . I ended up using an angle bead to secure the flap 🤠
Thank you very much mate 🙏
You didn't get any muck on that fridge! 😮👍
When i have to straighten a wall or fill in chasses before skimming to make bonding go off quickly add some dirty water or some cement dust got me out of trouble many times it works
Well done Kirk
Cheers ry hope your well mate. Looking forward to seeing some vids lad
when your dother films .you explaining everything like you would do to her , very informative
Tub of bonding 60 minute, might be handy to keep in van.
Love the board cutting in technique. Brilliant. But the binding...on a quick job. Hand full of cement. Sets in about 10-15mins and doesn't shrink.
Ox speed skim it a magic tool. After criss crossing with that i criss cross with a refina speed skim which makes it a lot neater while still being quick. Then the rest with the steel
Great job as ever …. The metal splinters from the black screws are the worst
Love your stuff Brother 👊🏽👳🏽♂️
Top video work she's clearly a pro mate 👍 it'll be with all the practice on the mobile phone. Some more top tips especially the metal ceiling channel. Any chance of a video plastering a bay window i always struggle with getting around the arch as you can only go side to side with the trowel. Keep up the great work
The black splinters off cheap screws are horrible, most of the time I don’t notice them for a week or 2 then have to take a Stanley to my hand dig them out 😂
Love your videos you always do a top job ! Can you do a tutorial on showing when the light pended is still in place and sockets as there not always removed for the plasterer! Cheers
Lol I’m the same 2/3 pub settle down watch footy … this week on Sunday went empty house 7 ish green grit 2 walls ready for the following Saturday . Then went to next job for 8.30 ..😩 had to wake them up and I told them what time I was coming .. got in 15 mins later . Hate it when people know you’re coming but not bothered ..but I like to be finished for 2. They don’t see that😩😩😩
Top Channel , Great Tips, Enjoy your 🍺
Tip...chuck some cement in your Bonding, it'll set much faster.
great video kirk,shouldve used the broken in 6 pounder mate lol,no seriously love your vids,as for dirty water i usually find a bit of the garden to pour the top part of dirty water then add plaster to the slurry bit to clean the bucket out ...takes years of experience to work that out mate lol...good one kirk nice job
Try bonding 60 we go through bags of it ready to skim in 30 mins or so no matter what surface you put it on
Maisies camera work was great you should hire her lol all seriousness great video my man
So enjoyable to watch. Cheers. Any tips on how to get started in plastering?
Clean and tidy as always another top job, do you put much thin coat on? Would love to see a video
Dirty water goes into the nearest Bush 👀😅
Great vids
Do you not put dirty water or cement in the bonding to make it go off faster?
Would love to see you having a bash at Venetian
as neighbors would moan about putting dirty water down mains drains i have a separate bucket with a lid on and once it's settled just separate the clean water on the top and skip the solids
All waste water gets dumped in the sea anyway 🤣🤣🤣
Very good vids Kirk...
If you mix some fairy liquid with the the plaster, will it become more smooth and easy to work with????
Kirk I think the bubbling is caused by the Speedskim bringing moisture to the surface. My labourer bought one and I used it on a few jobs and had bubbling on every job. Gone back to the stainless steel spat and not had any issues.
The bubbling is caused by the paint separating from oringinal plaster and where you have missed with pva
@@stevecassie9592 No that is called blistering...the small bubbles are caused by too much moisture being drawn to the surface and often happens with the use of plastic spats on low suction backgrounds e.g. blue grit..yellow grit etc.
The water goes into the neighbor's bushes
Surprised scrim, or plaster for that matter, sticks to SBR!
Tip it in flower bed 😊
Live ya vids mate been plastering for almost 30 years now, but just wondering how soon would you add you’re second coat, years ago I used to let the 1st coat completely go off before applying tge second, but recently I more or less apply the second coat asap as it’s an early finish ha what’s you’re thoughts mate ? Btw I still get the same results 👍
Making a few quid on a Sunday way to go lad
Hi, can you gypsum plaster over lime substrate.
Many thanks
Mix bit of skimming in dirty water at the end of the job and bin it
Love what you do but I wish you'd wear a mask when cutting in ceilings etc.
Only just dropped onto your channel as I am looking for tips and tricks as a complete novice as to whether or not it’s even worth me attempting to do a 15‘ x 10‘ ceiling in my lounge is it easy to remove artex or is it easier to overboard and skim? What are your views? you asked in your video “Is there anything else you’d like for us to see you cover” how about covering my ceiling in my lounge laughing my arse off
Chuck it under the garden bushes 😂
Chuck cement in bonding sets quick
Hi kirk have you found that bonding thistle has no life anymore ie not sticky like they have used a substitute and multifinish seems to feel like the bags are out-of date and grainy finish still smooth but looks grainy these days
bonding 60..ready in half hr generally
iam so down to help anytime bro x
Fs free advertising 👌🏻😂😂
You should keep some easifill 20 for fast jobs like that
Carnt beat the apprentice up!😂
Kirk love your videos mate, just a quick question (probably a silly one) but do you need to sbr new plaster board before plastering. First time!!
No mate, plaster board doesn't need any preparation before plastering, you can just go straight into it🙂
When I had my lounge ceiling done, there were loads of nick marks that they had to come back and fill. What did they do wrong?
Shame they don't still sell carlite😂remember it, and the massive bags of browning😂😂👍
Do you not need to flatten the 1st coat?
Get Maisie some marigolds lol. Have you tried the steel blade on the speedskim?😊
The steel blade at that stage would really cause bad blisters, great for first wet trowel though 👍
You could probably do with something plastic for cleaning out the back boxes 🫣
My mate has done all my plastering. He's plastered all the back boxes, windows and window sills, worktops, doors and frames......you get the picture 😂😂😂
