At my age ,extra time seems like a god send .
The wife seemed very keen for me to try it to
Ffs, them socket covers are brilliant, spent many lost times locating and digging out plaster filled sockets and switches,.
Going to buy myself a squeegee this weekend I think. There's deffo some brilliant tools come on the market in the last 10 years.
Loved this vid.
Half expected 'where's James' to climb out of the plaster bucket. He's quiet when he's busy 🤣🤣
Masking tape 😉
Even though I'm in the US, and things are a bit different here, I love this channel for all the great ideas and product ideas.
Thanks Alex. We really like the fact that our channel reaches people in different countries and gives us a different perspective on problems and solutions. Hopefully we continue to grow in America and Canada
Going to tackle a small wall and window surround at home, never done plastering before, and the squeegee seems like a great idea.
Give it a go you will enjoy it
Absolutely brilliant roger - perfect timing for me!!!
Great tips! Going to get a few of those tools and also put some extra time in my tea. 😵💫
Only good for before trowel finish. Hit it too early you wont like it. Suck it and see i rarely use mine
Being a full time general builder my van is already packed to the rafters with stuff, so I’ll stick with my Marshaltown. I only plaster once every couple of months or so. I think, if I was doing much more I’d invest to make it a bit easier for myself.
Great tips Roger
How things change EH? ... In the 60's/early 70's my Only trowel was a Tyzac 12" (Pre-Marshal-Town-Big-Boys ;) a cross-grain float with interchangeable handle & a Devil-float with a few brushes, a small-tool, twitcher & a slipper :-) .... They all fitted in a small bag I could hang on the handlebars of my bike, my bucket on the other side and my rules and shovel tied to the cross-bar, with the hod resting on my shoulder :-) ......... 'Beverley-Hill-Billy-Stylee' ....... I could still do a top job in double-quick time ........ As time went on, it took Loooonger and Longer to get ALL of the new tools, leads etc out of the van and set-up for the day. The same in the evening :-( ................. Got less work done as a result - And DO NOT! Mention Health&Safety as a Chief Time-Waster !! ............. AARRGGHH!!!!!!! ;-)
I've been using the bead masters
but have asked the firm to make a smaller insert for ordinary walls as well as they have missed the trick
only relying on just plaster board
Great bit of kit bazz
I love how u avoid damaged the spatula at min 4:05 very nice 👌
5☆
Nice I m I totally begine I use the speed skim is was fantastic tool totally recommended it to anyone.
Extra time and Half time is great, just steer clear of Penalty shootout it's a loser everytime.
Try the Italian one they use every trick in the book.
I’ve used the extra time and yeh it’ works but as for half time just use dirty water in my experience that gets the plaster going off double quick
@@kendodd8734 yep, what he said!
Great products Roger. Thanks for letting us know 👍
I’ve never tried plastering, but that MarshallTown squeegee looks the business! Or Perhaps it’s the lads in the video making it look easy 🤔
It takes practice, but tools like the speedskim make it a lot easier for beginners AND pros
Really useful.. that extra time sachet would suit me down to the ground !
Glad it was helpful! I forgot to say that you have to whisk it up in the water first and give it 5 minutes to disolve. It is like sugar
@@SkillBuilder cheers Roger, 🍻
I used extratime to do a ceiling, I just about managed it!
Lovely Rog. Really useful - as always! Hope you are well my friend 👌🏼🏴👍🏼
Thanks Rob. Fingers crossed I am well, double jabbed and all that but people around me are dropping like flies.
@@SkillBuilder yes the new Indian variant seems to be taking no prisoners! I get my second jab next week so hopefully feel a little safer. Crazy times! Glad you are well and keep up the great work
Extratime additive is brilliant, did a 25msq ceiling, on new plasterboard, on a very hot day, weren't sure if I could do it? But the mix lasted brilliantly, well chuffed!
Nice tips there Rog 🧱👍🏼
Iv been plastering 15 years, the best advice I can give someone is lay on as flat as possible first & second coat. No one needs these tools apart from a steel trowel & hawk. You can make your walls perfect
That is good advice but for someone who just wants to do the occassional bit and doesn't have 15 years to develop your skills it is good to have some help.
For the occasional plasterer within the time before it's gone beyond being workable? In the middle of summer?
It would be better to say, "For the non-professional plasterer these tools are a great help. But you wouldn't see a professional plasterer using them".
But the problem is a lot of professional plasterers *do* use these tools to save their elbow.
"lay it on as flat as possible"? I don't think anyone is slinging it on with a shovel from a wheelbarrow and hoping for the best.
I have to ask you. Do you use an electric mixer whisk or do you do mix by hand with a bucket trowel in a trough?
Have to admit the oxx trowells are really good for the money
some great tools right there
halftime looks made for me ,I'm a landscaper but too tight to pay plasterers wages so do my own at home , usually good enough but bit too slow and plaster does kick off on me here n there
I think you want the other sachet - half time speeds the curing up!!
@@brightonduder yes you want extra time not halftime.
Yep my bad , don't want to even think about trying it with half the time ,not be pretty
Call me old school but the only tool I’d use out of all those is the stainless marshaltown.
All these bendy super flexy trowels are made to bend over bumps…
it may be smooth but is it flat?
Too true, I have used these flexy trowels, looks lovely when it’s plastered but once it’s painted it looks like the ocean.
I usually trowel up until it’s pretty much done then glide over with a flex.
Yes you can't go on too quickly with the flexi but once it is firmed up and you are giving it a flick and polish it it great.
#Float
I'm old school and I've moved over to the flexi spatulas better finish everytime over a steel float!
Squeegee is king!
I want the squeegee! For the half time product then salt works also. Not sure how scientific it is compared to the sachet however.
I am intrigued with the plaster you seem to use. I have never seen plaster in the beige colour here in Australia that you seem to have. Obviously it works just the same as our virgin white material but it is interesting.
Think pink! www.british-gypsum.com/products/thistle-multi-finish?tab0=0
It's the colour of the vein of the rock where the gypsum it's extracted from that gives it its colour. Similar to different colour sands.
Wish I'd watched this a few months ago, but those BeadMaster socket covers are genius!
Thanks!
Any advice on budget double handled paddle mixers?
Ragini are good my £60 marshaltown however never gets used because it has far too much crown
I learnt to plaster with a ragni , definitely good for the price
Speedskim good idea for ceilings what size would you recommend?
I would buy the set of three and a pole
Get ready for the angry plasterers Roger! They think they have the hardest job in the world bless them
Plastering is all about Bish Bosh. It's nearly flat. That'll do. You can sand it down with an industrial sander. Give me £350 for doing one wall in a small box room.
@@stakkerhmnd load of rubbish 😂
@@tc-ow1ol You're a plasterer! Aren't you!! Go on. Admit it.
I love how plasters *always* finish a job with skim lines and defects. Then say "you just need to get a bit of sandpaper on that or a bit of filler (for the shallows)".
Why didn't the plasterer get a bit of sandpaper on it? Why do they expect the homeowner to finish the job?
Anyway, you can't sandpaper plaster. But plasterers know this and still tell people to do it.
@@stakkerhmnd someone’s had some bad experiences 🥴
“For the shallows” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s alright having the tools but without the experience it ain’t happening…. GL all
Experience dont happen without trying 😁
And you can’t get experience without having the tools to practice in order to learn
Ow no not the xtra time packets....but totally agree with the squidgy
what kind of plaster is it-orange,brown colour? is it clay based plaster?thanks
gypsum
Roger how do I get you to work on house. Sick of only finding cowboys.
we'd all love a visit from Roger
What’s the best size trowel for putting skim on the wall ( Newbie )
Hello Roger.....good video! I have a plaster related question? Two years ago I travelled to Laos and noticed the interiors of buildings were not plastered but cement rendered. Can you tell me why this may be so! Is it anything to do with climate there.....it’s very hot, above 30C most of the year with very little rain! Any thoughts? What are the advantages/disadvantages? Cheers mate!
Hi Roger do you still use two coats of plaster with the speed scim? Thanks
Hi Nick
I went off using two coats for a while but now I am back on it, once you find a quick way the second coat flies on and saves time.
Those white plastic covers for sockets and switches by Beadmaster sound like a good idea for a DIYer when they are trying to plaster around back boxes and want to get neat lines but aren’t you basically just burying it in plaster to then risk breaking it away later on and potentially causing damage to newly plastered walls? Personally I think the Sockitz Safetyshield are a better alternative as you can install them at any stage of the wiring whether it’s 2nd fix or during the 1st fix the parts just clip together and can easily be removed later on after the rooms been plastered. I have done some research online and the Beadmasters retail a couple of quid dearer than the Sockitz Safetyshield which are a bit cheaper. It’s certainly better than some cowboys filling the back boxes full of plaster that you have to break the lot out when it’s drying!
I have used BeadMaster and it’s brilliant, you plaster it in to the wall but then when it’s dry you simply remove the centre cover. Does it all, saved time and money 👍👍
just ordered the marshaltown squeeejeeeeee as I'm new to plastering and seem to spend a lo t of my time trowelling out trowel marks. great share - thank you!
They're £31+ now.... good old brexit/inflation :(
They are American so I am not sure how Brexit affects the price
Brexit??
great
Recommend a mixer?
The socket covers are good but the socket shields are better - game changer stuff for finishing on a large project.
one minute your ranting now your getting plastered. LOL
Do those time lengthening sachets also work on plaster that's past its use by date?
I have tried it and I think it does but you need to verify this
When you are using plaster that’s out of date it can go one of two ways… it can go off quick or it can hang wet for ages… so you wouldn’t know which to use
i'm just doing a repair job myself because i can't get a reliable plasterer. I have 0 experience. Should be fun
Just watch Kirk from On The Trowel and you should be fine.
nooice
Taping knife ftw
A hand full of cement will speed up the drying time of finish plaster
Will a handful of plaster speed up the drying time of concrete?
@@stakkerhmnd Don't know, I wouldn't do it as it may weaken the concrete
Baking powder is better.
@@harveysmith100 Use some Bonding plaster. Wouldn't that "bond up" the cement and make it stronger?
@@stakkerhmnd I think you have started drinking early tonight
OMG! STAKKER has only gone and done it again with some world class style.
FIRST.
@@anemone9895 Are you really sad? I hope my comment made you happy!!
STAKKER makes you happy!
@@anemone9895 I have one. It's being superior to you. At least I don't fill electrical back box recesses with render, then skim over them! Hahahaha!
@@anemone9895 I bet you also accidentally rendered over a fireplace and filled it in!! Then skimmed over it.
Stakker smashing it
@@denty32 Like a champion!
Roger, I love you and I want to have your babies. Shh! Don't tell my missus. My pet hate. Nicely polished up plaster, but significantly + or - 90 deg corners, going on too thick near internal 3 way corners and even bulges, mid wall. Ever tried getting 800mm+ tiles on, brickcourse lay-out with that sort of abomination going on?
Customer: "We know a plasterer". Quite frankly, I'd rather do it myself. Not the fastest but at least it's square, plumb and doesn't bulge. Er, unlike my belly.
You make it look too easy.
Do not be trowling up with a plastic trowel it’s for a final polish only
Ok I thought the idea of the plastic trowel is that you can get on it earlier. Bit like the Speedskim
@@SkillBuilder final trowel only with a plastic any earlier will leave tiger stripes only noticeable when painted
Roger, why can’t you just use a good squeegee?
Maybe you can
Float it Flat
With a sponge? Good idea, I do that
