How Hard is Upside Down (Lime) Plastering? | Portugal House Renovation

  • We've been cracking on with some bits and pieces projects downstairs in our Portugal house renovation. First up I mixed a bit of lime plaster to outline the pointed stone wall to start the process of blending it in. I also try my hand at upside down plastering in one of the doorway reveals. Stick around to see how I get on...

    It's so nice to see another video this week! The plastering is going so well. I'm glad you were disappointed that there was no failure! Perhaps not overworking leads to better outcomes? Curving the plaster around the stones gives a beautiful, more natural looking effect. The rooms are really coming together! Another job beautifully completed!!

    We had an old traditional lime plasterer to do all our work in a previous (listed) house. His father was also a plasterer in the 1920's and he finished around the door frames and windows with a sort of uptick pleat which looked really good. You have done an amazing job, well done. Thanks for the vlog.

    Here is a quick tip on plastering in corners. When doing any edges, corners etc, start off with a thin line of plaster along the edge of your trowel. You can do this by sliding the trowel along the edge of the hawk to create a thin ridge. Then delicately place the trowel into the corner, press it, and slide it back and forth before drawing it away from the edge. Then do this again with a normal trowel load to get more plaster on the wall/ceiling.
    The reasons I do it this way are:
    1. Too much plaster on the trowel in a corner can cause plaster to squeeze out onto the other surface.
    2. Sliding the trowel back and forth presses the plaster into the corner, ensuring good coverage and adhesion, and making later tidying up easier.
    3. Whenever you apply plaster and pull the trowel away you always create a little suction, which will pull some of the plaster away from your starting point. This is always evident in corners, where even if you have a lot of plaster on the trowel to start with, you'll notice that some of it pulls away from the corners as you move the trowel away, due to suction. By using a little less plaster, AND by sliding the trowel back and forth, you make sure the plaster stays in the corners.
    And always avoid having the plaster along the full length of the trowel, as the stuff at the ends will just fall off.
    😃

    When you are pointing an interior wall with some stones deliberately exposed, right at the edge where a pointing ribbon meets a stone, what is your objective? Do you want the pointing to be as thin (flat) as possible to expose more stone, or do you try to thicken the pointing so as to "sink" the stone further in?
