Fair play Blaine. I've been Plastering 20 years and I doubt I would be doing that in one hit , 3 way wet corners are a pain in the arse. Love your videos keep it up mate 👍
Thanks pal - you're a legend! Thank you for watching...I really appreciate it!
3 way wet corner ceases to be a problem when You cut slightly the "wings" of Your twitcher with an angle grinder and give the cut a proper rub down with sand paper. That's the only problem that comes to my mind when we talk about 3 way corner: twitcher damaging adjacent surfaces, because it has wrong angle.
Great video Blain, I've been plastering for 20 years but it's always good to see how the other tradesman do it , top job 👍
Thank you mate! That means a lot to me - hope you’re well and thank you for watching!
I've learnt so much about plastering Blain from you and I can't thank you enough fella, keep up the good work 👍
Great video, I’m just about to hit my biggest job yet on my own. Thanks for the videos and great advice it has given me the confidence to tackle and take on bigger jobs. Top man.
Fair play to you my friend. I wish you all the best and thank you for watching. It's great to hear it's helping - that means a lot to me!!
All the best and good luck with your latest project 👍
Excellent job I’ve been plastering for over 30 years and I’ve not met many players as natural as you
A wet mix, a very brave man. Well done, the sponge helps the drying surface.
One of the first ive seen who's actually good 👍💯
well done blaine, another great video, and top class finish
Thank you mate. I really appreciate that pal 👍👍
Congrats you are a Very Clean Plasrerer i have Laboured on many of them and you are the Cleanest Plasterer i have ever seen.🙂
Thanks mate!! I really appreciate that 👍
Excellent video mate, always had a great respect for plasters, stunning video, kind regards Danny uk
Thanks mate...really appreciate that!!
Great video Blain, well explained. I use the nela gold Flexi, I didnt like that at first either, but love it now, flattens great and a perfect finish.
Cheers pal...thank you for watching. Yeah that's a lovely Trowel also. I'm really starting to love the Nela trowels - great tools to use
Another great video!
Aye mate plastered from 16yo back home and hadn't ever seen anyone using the stilts but over in NZ here nearly everyone does and you're right absolute game changer 👏
Haha that's so true. I thought the same when I worked in NZ...they loved it ha! Great hearing from you. Cheers 👍
You have given me confidence gonna plaster my loft thanks videos are the best on UA-cam
Thank you so much and good luck!! All the best my friend
Learning a lot from your videos mate. I really enjoy plastering. You explain things really well thanks for your knowledge, 🙏🏾
Thanks for watching mate! All the best to you 👍
Great videos keep them coming 👍🏻
Thank you my friend. Hope you're well!!
Great work top quality as always 👍
Thank you mate. I really appreciate that!!
Nice work Blaine /quality 👏👏👏
Cheers pal. Great hearing from you Buddy, hope you're well 👍
Good work pal 👍
Great video Blaine 👌
Cheers pal. I really appreciate that!
When I was a lot younger I had started to skim, labouring of course first, mixing for a couple of men, keeping everything clean, occasionally getting the opportunity to put on a bit, gradually gathering the momentum and skill to get a good finish, really enjoyed it especially the timing and difficulty, then one day an older guy with 30 years experience, says to me , how he hated scraping at walls and ceilings every day like an old hen! said to me if I'd any sense do something else, he put me right off it. But watching your efforts makes me miss it again.
It’s a shame that he put you off. It seems like you were getting the hang of it...maybe it was meant to be! Thanks for watching all the same. Cheers pal 👍
Great advice here Blaine got to be in the right mind set need to push it can’t go dawdling. Get it on quick flat and push it!
Cheers pal!! Hope you're well and thanks for watching 👍
Very good job, well done 👍👍👍
Thank you mate!!
I’m seriously impressed bud- as an intermediate level plasterer that would be a very daunting job to do in one hit as I always seem to rushing to get the first coat on and flattened in time (customers with the heating on flat out doesn’t help)
Appreciate your vids bro - thanks mate - top job!
Thanks mate! I really appreciate that but it all comes with time. But you are right...the heating never helps ha! Good luck and thanks for watching!!
Wow brilliant young man I could never lay all that on in one go when I was on the tools, I can't see if you scribed or not ? Well done 👍🏻
Hi. This is my first time watching you. I can't believe how you work. Near perfection definitely on the efficiency side. Im a builder and can see that you are on point with the trowel. U put so many spreads to shame
Thank you so much mate. I really appreciate that - I hope to hear from you soon. Cheers 👍
I wouldn't dare to take on wet angles like that. I'm not at that stage yet. Hopefully, one day. Top video
Cheers pal!! It’s just practice my friend 👍
Nice job 👌👌
Lovely stuff mate, wouldn't fancy doing that sort of hit every day mind
Haha me neither mate! Thanks...I appreciate it 👍
Great video Blain. Well done. A word of advice don’t listen to the nay sayers. Keep doing what you’re doing. Your doing a cracking job
Cheers pal!! Thanks for saying and thank you for watching. I really appreciate. Cheers and all the best 👍👍
Excelente trabajo 👏 👍 💪 👌 🙌
👍👍👍
Brave man taking on all those wet edges! Stressful to watch lol, looks great tho! For me that's a 425 job, day and half, my shoulder and elbow can't take doing the one day hits anymore. The nela twiches are the best I've used, got the mini flex and the 103, use the 103 for straightening and the mini for the last flick, the refina 600 spat is really good for flattening and closing in the top coat if used at the right time and the wall/ceiling is flat, the plazi spat is good for uneven hits just need to hit it a little earlier, it's not great if it's stiffened up too much, with my spats as well when I get a new one (because I haven't stored it in the van properly and gets a nick) I put the corners on a scaffold pole and give it a whack with a bit of batten to slightly bend the corners over then the ends don't cut in.
Excellent just what I needed to watch thank you so much ☺️
Hope it helps my friend 👍
This is for news gibbord
one thing people dont now is how clean your workwear is... a proper tradesman is very clean and tidy.. great vlog...
Thanks mate. I take appreciate that 👍
Thank you very much
Great video .
Thanks mate!!
You’re good though geezer,so respect.
I've been watching you for quite a while, damn your getting fast.
Haha cheers pal. Your a legend for watching...I really appreciate it!!
Respect fella,i couldn’t attempt a whole room in one hit,I’d probably f..k it right up.
Maniac... nice job bud 🤣😎🤙🤙
Haha cheers pal!!
Brilliant bud
Thank you mate. I really appreciate that!! Hope you're well 👍
Great video nela gold flexi great trowel
Thanks pal and I agree...it's a lovely Trowel!
Just came across this
I do this I usually split the gauge (wash out )
So Iv two different sets 54 now. Started when I was 16 takes its toll mate .👍
That’s good to know... thank you mate! And fair play for your time served my friend. Thanks for watching!
Nice job,
Thank you matey!!
Well done
Cheers mate!!
Hi Blaine, you videos are very informative, I'm about to do my hallway soon. Do you find it a struggle to get the plaster on quickly when it's extremely hot in summer, as it goes off quicker?
We used to mix 1 bag of carlite finish and 3 bags of board finish in a black rubbish bin gage used to last 3 hours so you could do the top floor of a 3 bedroom bellway house in one hit. No ceilings back then as they were artexed but good money making days
That speed skim mate. I have only ever seen one other plasterer who puts on the amount you do.
Cheers mate!
Hi mate, Blaine you’ve got to try the 103degree flexible corner trowel from ragni. It will change the game for you, only use it towards the later stages (wet trowel, dry trowel) honest you won’t be brushing any corners anymore, you don’t need too. Will save time and a better job
I've got one actually but I always forget to use it. Great but of kit though, I must admit! Thanks for the heads up and I hope you're well my friend. Thanks for watching 👍
surely use a corner trowell for wet corners, easy peasy
Great video very professional, for beginners I would teach them to use the trowel to flatten the walls first before they touch the speedskim.
Good point... thanks for watching mate!
If it saves time tho which is the battle for all plasterers dont you think the speed skim is a bonus- if used properly?
Let's face it, it's a no brainer for a decent lay in on a first coat eh🤠
Great video this pal... Some graft that, fair play...
I remember cream of tartar back int day.... Plus that cold weather helps it hang a bit longer... Just a pain in the arse waiting for it to go sometimes... Always better off putting as much as you can on...
Wouldn't have fancied that on a hot day though pal... Be going off like wild fire..🤯
Here in California we ad agricultural gyp to set it off its like calcium chloride in cement
How long does it take you personally to do a whole room? Great videos you’ve helped me plaster a large majority of my mates house
Always bring your bottoms up it's a lot quicker and using a 16 inch hawk and 20x5 carbon steel Marshall town makes it a doddle, I usually put 3 bags in 1st coat and 2 bags second gets you a 50 m2 room no half time but if your unsure put it in 1st mix as its the 1st coat that uses most plaster and goes off quickest
Great tips here mate. Thanks for that - you should like a rapid plasterer so fair play. Cheers 👍👍
Good graft that pal! And decent finish!
Couple of questions
How long where you at that move and what was the addictive you mentioned
I used the stilts many moons ago while in London but never kept them going when I got back to Glasgow, getting on now and waiting on a new hip but could still outdo a healthy 20 year old, although still using the tressles and planks, no wonder I need a knew hip (55 now)
Wheres a good shout for the stilts?
Nice job. I'd have been tempted to do that in one hit but then chickened out and done the lid and opposite walls, followed by the rest 😂
Haha 😂😂😂
Lovely job Blaine 👍 think I’d panic to much to hit that in one 😅 love watching your videos 💯 I only ever use a Marshalltown trowel if you were to have a 2nd trowel what would it be ?
Thank you so much mate...really appreciate you watching! I'm loving the Nela Carbon which I'm using here. My best Flexi is probably still the Refina Superflex 2...it's a lovely trowel. Hope this helps 👍
Good video, can we get this exact same concept of banging a whole room on in one hit but with existing walls next time?
Top job being plastering for years myself like the idea of the speed skim, my down fall is ceiling hate them kills my shoulders.
Thanks mate. I ready appreciate that...and ceilings are a killer sometimes 😂
Hi pai. Apologies?? I didn't see the scrim on the walls. Everyone seems to be using pink and orange. Love watching a pro in action 👍🏻Keep up the good work
Not a problem mate. I need to start using the orange scrim in my videos to make it clear ha! Thanks for watching pal, hope you're well 👍
How long do you leave it between each towel to flat it? So when the plaster is on and you done your first wet towel what time after would you recommend to do the 2nd ect?
Hiya mate nice video
But do you not use airless anymore I am thinking of getting into it would you recommend the system ? Thanks
Have you tried worktall boots yet? Had mine over 6 months and find they are great for typical domestic jobs where your covering artex ceilings, perfect height and easier to get on and off than stilts!
I'm too small for them to be honest mate - they'd be no good for my small legs 😂😂😂
Hey Blaine. After watching a many hours of your vids I’m ready to take the plunge and about to tackle plastering a painted brick wall. Would you recommend i try to remove the paint before applying the hardwall? If it’s not possible to remove all paint, would it be a waste of time to plaster over?
Great channel by the way. Keep up the good work
You could dot and dab over the painted brick mate. PVA beforehand and Dab it when it's dried - I think you've got a better chance of getting it right and it will probably be easier pal.
Your a money earner,don't worry about corners until its all on 👍
Cheers mate!
@@PlasteringForBeginners did it for 20 yrs I can tell a normal plasterer from a bodger lol
Hi Blaine , just a quick question. Do you use your speed skim on second coat ? Great vids keep them coming !
I do usually pal...it's good for both coats! Thanks for watching by the way, cheers 👍
Hey, watched your videos and got inspiration to try on my toilet, you are awesome. I have applied bonding with I am happy how it turned. Toilet is pretty small but lots of details , window on one side door on other and off course got myself 16" ragni wich is great but little bit tricky in smaller space. I know that ceiling needs to go first, should I finish ceiling completely and dry and then pick other wall and do the same or do the first coat on ceiling and flaten it and then other walls before second coat? I am afraid if I a mix for all walls first coat that I wouldn't make to put it on in time. 😏 Tnx!
Hi mate! Thanks for watching. If you're new, I would just do one wall/ ceiling at a time. Wet Angles are hard and definitely not for beginners so just do 1 at a time my friend!
@@PlasteringForBeginners Thank you for your time for answering, really appriciate. I have brought the same decision, I am attacking the ceiling now! 👍
Great video m8, what other tools do you use for skimming other than hawk trowel and wet brush ex; midget trowel,twitcher,gauger,margin,small tool we were having this discussion other day at work, surprising how many use none thx?
To be honest mate, other than the Speedskim and what you said, that's it. That's pretty much everything I cover. I rarely use the other tools but they are needed sometimes. It just depends on the job pal. Thanks for watching by the way...great hearing from you again 👍
Would never dream of fighting with wet angles on a ceiling and wall, wall to wall is a pain, usually do a ceiling then oposite walls then the other two, use a Marshaltown ( 30 years old now ) and no longer square, find a 1.25 liter Hozelock pump sprayer gets me the finest spray, and I dont plaster for a living, respect for tackling that much in one go.
It's tricky mate but you get used to it. Thanks for watching and keep up the good work...cheers 👍
Great work!! And I feel your pain trying to explain processes while mother nature is tapping her foot. I am from Nova Scotia, Canada and did my first videos just recently. Formulating the thought processes and communicating them in real time is impossible. Blaine, and of course anyone else, if you have a moment please check out my style and feedback of any kind is appreciated! There's lots to say. I want for people to learn as well and maybe there's something in mine using side light to aid in the technique and learning process. Thank you and cheers!! Paris Street Interiors Halifax
Just want to ask is the nela black addition flex the same as the nela superflex trowel
Great video Blaine you think later stages better to use Flexi trowel rather the stainless steel marshalltown?
Yeah, they are great to work with mate. Take a lot of stress from your joints and I feel they leave a lovely finish!! I love them 👍
Pukka vid as always mate 👍, will give that method of doing ceiling and tops straight away does make more sense👍, have always just done the lid then started back on walls
Thank you mate! You're a legend...thanks for watching. I hope it's helped 👍
Out of curiosity, why not use a board and stand instead of out of the bucket? It seems a lot slower having to take it from the bucket as well as extra strain on the back
Great video 👍 I’ve just finished my apprenticeship and tried hitting big gauges like that but the plaster always sets to fast on me
Take it slow, it takes years to learn how to knock a room out in one, even this small, I was a spread for 25 years and never pushed myself to hard, always push for a great Finnish rather than a good Finnish 👍
Superman, 3 days work for me. Great video
Haha cheers pal! Thanks for watching
3 days doing a tiny room like this lol your called a cowboy 🤠
@@CalvinCooke18 that's the 2 coats of mist as well. I go back and do 2 mist coats no extra charge. Working 8 days a week getting a good reputation at the moment. Got to put in to get out as they say.
How do you manage to do a full room with no bubbles!? Coming from a newbie I always seem to over trowel so god knows how you do it when it's still wet!
Good graft mate been doing it 9 months on an apprenticeship can skim a wall but not consistent any tips ?
Just practice and mastering your timings. It comes naturally but just keep skimming - it gets easier with time my friend 👍
Wah u say a small room but that’s a lot of angles and different facades to stay on top of I know ide run out of time trying to that lot in one hit. seriously impressive blain u rearly make what is difficult look quite easy I think a heads up for novices on this one should b given in that don’t attempt a job like this unless like u ur experienced otherwise ur gonna throwing more away than putting on the walls and ceiling
Thank you mate, I really appreciate that! And good point.. this isn't for beginners ha! Cheers pal. Hope you're well 👍
Hi Blane, great video. How long did that set take ?
Thanks pal. It was roughly 3.5 hours my friend 👍
Hi Blaine...nice video. I have a questions please.... do you have a video showing how to deal with small gaps over doorways and narrow strips of plaster down the side of door frames that the trowel will not fit? I see that in buildings I have visited, most plasterers seem to struggle with these.
Better to take Door moulding off first if you can, or use some type of small tool or small trowel to get it on use little water on thin brush to edges and occasional small tool in later stages too flatten,
Have a load of scrapers with differ t widths appropriate for the gap
And get used to using them, familiar with feathering edges on the kinks
How much are people charging for a room this size nowadays plasterboard price and glue and reskim price great work buddy and good going 👍
Hi Blaine general builder here intermediate plasterer very impressed with the rendering and plaster quick question I've got a large walled area with painted surface I was going to reinforce with wire matting to allow Renee to bond to the wall however this is time consuming and expensive do you have any tips or alternative ways many thanks
blue grit
Red grit 😂
I’ve watched half a dozen of these videos with the plasterer using stilts and none of them show the plasterer putting the stilts on and getting upright is there a reason for that?
Make it look easy pal. Being ocd my hardest challenge is to stop playing with it! By the time my ocd tells me it looks level and tidy it’s gone! My hats off to plasterers it’s not easy!
That's the hardest but mate but it gets easier with time! It's tough at first but it gets easier. Thanks for watching - hope you're well!
Hey I like to learn please do Guide me my fist steps I don’t now nothing in this field
What's the name of that plaster you're using because I use lime and molding plaster made by gypsum
What stilts do you use?
Blaine well done that's a big area for one man what is that trowel you are using its not a Marshall town
Thank you pal...great hearing from you again! It's the Nela Premium Carbon Steel trowel and us 14". It's a lovely Trowel, I highly recommend it!
Would u ever go back too marshaltown s/s gold or is it done deal? I hear a lot of people crossing over to m/t or nela carbon now and swear by them and when worn in eliminate the flexi
No hard angles and with a ceiling in one hit, not many spreads do this me included. But the time it saves is well worth doing. Fair play
Thanks pal! Really appreciate that 👍👍
Great video. How many hours did the job take to complete? I'm guessing at 5 hours
5 hours from start to finish (tools out, prep, plaster and clean up 👍
Mice earner for 5 hours am guessing 2😏👏
Fair play on getting it done but no way I'd recommend a beginner to attempt this..
They'd lose it before the second coat!
This particular job is plastering for experts..!
Cheers matey! It always good to show what's possible to anyone starting out. Great hearing from you...cheers 👍
Imagine all that work on the corners and the customers put up coving 😳
😂😂😂
Are carbon steel trowels worth it I’ve only every used stainless
Definitely mate. They break in so much faster and they feel smoother to use on the plaster. Brings a smoother finish in my opinion. They are lovely to use 👍
How many bags mate first hit
You taping up the joints mate?
Yeah, I've scrim Taped them all mate 👍
To be honest,I’d have completed the ceiling first,then MAYBE! try to do all the walls,and that’s a big maybe,i don’t like to be stressed out when i plaster.
Also easier and quick on a long Werner 150 mm hop up
👍👍
What size trowel are you using mate
14” mate 👍
what trowel are you using at 23 minutes 20 seconds?
hahah 20 seconds later you say what trowel it is, top man
How come you don't tape the joints and are not worried about the joints shrinking and going hollow?
They we're Scrim taped mate - it's just the clear stuff so the camera didn't pick it up. Always scrim before plastering 👍
