Hi buddy very true and every plasterer would have had their own corbels and roses ect love working in an old street where they are are different so you could tell who was plastering in where haha I do a agree it is some what dyeing some people don't like it most builders don't want it as it will cost more but i could see it making a come back as loads of things do come back into style ... I for sure will have some in our new build :) Thanks for watching and commenting mate

@noodles8203 just realy tracing but my wood work skills suck haha

@macplastering We need an in depth tutorial mate😁

@@noodles8203 might do it next time I'm running something

@johns9543 Thanks for watching mate it is good to watch back all the stages just hard to make sure we do it all right from the start if that makes sense

@macplastering totally, but we could all say that I'm a carpenter & if its something i dont do everyday i think I could have done that differently. but with you when it's not your own trade u will always be wise after the fact. but then you know for the next time & as long as you get a good end result that's all that matters mate 😉

​@johns9543 yes for sure again there is always loads of ways to get a job done haha finding the best way and easier way is a must haha yes can't wait to get this pushed on still have a few days just snagging we things up

@paulcarey9248 that's true Paul mate 👍

@@johns9543 thanks John m8

some times one and done

I think they are a nice and solid trowel mate

@@Joe-jv5mm yea good tip that mate

yes have been really panicking on water getting at the timber but also sun as it splits the timber

@@user_unknown1488 slowly but surely lol

@@hannahswann747 is it outside or inside?

Thanks for your reply 🙏 It's outside...

so your near 2 inch's it is a deep one to fill for sure but can be done no doubt

so the areas that are deep you might want to scud them let that set a day then scratch it out say 3 to 1 then let that set a day then go agin scratch out 3and half to 1 then next day fill all flush and finish with 4 to 1 just might take a longer time than you wished but can be rendered in multiple coats all mixes and methods a can be found on this channel mate

Thank you so much. I thought you can't do more than two coats. If it's ok to do multiple coats getting progressively weaker then that's what I'll do. I did look through your channel and watched a few but didn't find one on deep holes... must have missed it. Love your channel and really appreciate your response. 👍🤗

Its not to bad on the undercoats as long as there is no massive holes hollows or bumps as the next coats are around 3mm

@lloydjbear5383 thanks for the support mate 👍

@@macplastering you saved my spine 🫡

@@lloydjbear5383 yea i used to struggle untill i seen i guy do it this way the new mixers have instructions but never see that on an old one and most guys use old ones :)

@mpc365 thanks for watching and supporting mate

@danac1240 Yes, these builds should last a good amount of time, but like all will need matanice, we have a very wet climate here in Ireland... but hopefully, we will have this house as mantanice free as possible

@patcurran4805 thanks for the support pat mate

Thanks mate :)

so if using 12mm stones you would need at least 5 mm coat to receive them on rule of thumb what ever the thickness of stone you would need half that in a coat to make sure they stick, so the rule / batton will be flush to the reveal but on the side getting stoned will be set out to receive the dash I do think this one was a little more than usual as trying to patch in to make it look nice and flush

will be plasterboard upstairs on the most going to get the walls pumped for insulation floor will be Kingspan and roof or similar type insulation :)

I wait until 1st coat has set sometimes uts ok to put a little more on same day if it is drying real fast. Most times I leave it a full day

thank you my friend you are most welcome on the channel :) God bless you

would be better with concrete a mix more like this = kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWmQaXullp5gZtEsi=8nZ_txSj-qkZTAfn

I Love to hear this video is helping so many people and so glad it was helpful for yourself :) do feel free to share it to friends and family :)

Thank you Andrew mate hard job to patch this stuff to

after doing the front the same way I would have to say no the whole fron half the house was done a year or 2 before this so it was fine plus all mixes and renders claimed permeable.

@@macplastering Thanks - great videos btw.

@gingerbreadaudio mare of mine is at his own but he unfortunately has the waterproof gear on n it's fighting him ... but so glad it's helping you m8

mate if i had the $£$£ i would for sure push on now but next after roof will be windows then insulation and struggling to save atm after all this LOL

What where you told was the best mate ?

I wasn't told what to use instead.. I was just curious

Thanks for popping in Lara my friend :):)

Thank you buddy a little time taken goes a long way ... that been said i have heard guys say to there workers do them faster but just as good hahah

@@macplastering yes you need to take your time to be able to do a great job . Believe it or not some people here don’t even use corner Beads . they do them by hand . I bet you can imagine how shitty them corners look ☹️

Thank you buddy hard to get these beads good like all beads working to a corner that might not be great to start with and we need to get it right as the plaster is the guy who it falls on ( typical plasterer will fix it ) but also we are the ones that seem to get it when things are not nice and straight n matter how bad it might have been :) haha thanks for watching buddy

@@macplastering I know exactly what you mean

@@malcolmwootton2815 did a cornice job the other day so hoping to upload that in next week or so should be interesting :)

I watched an old video i mean really old of a guy doing one of these houses up and they where still damp back then. to me lime needs to dry from the inside out meaning you need to heat it to dry it so any damp will get in and its up to you to heat and dry it going by a survey on a large house we done ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIfUi4KjbdWfq6M ) the 3 guys said it should be done inside and outside with lime would cost a massive amount they said if doing lime no point just doing one need to do both inside walls and outside , they claim the idea is you dry it from inside out .... so with cement render it is supposed to stop water coming in but some claim i gets in as a gas then turn to a liquid agin, but then why cant we just dry that the same way as lime? from the inside out sure if it can get in as gas wont it dry back the same way ? my question to you in how has the wall been? again he has used different mixes to my own .. be great to hear your findings? so you just put sand and cement on no skim coat?

@@macplastering thanks for the reply mate. After he done the scud, 1st and 2nd coat he then skimmed everting with multi finish and 2 or 3 coats paint. It’s been approximately 15 months since he completed work and no issues to report at the moment. Most of the walls he rendered then plastered I have a radiator on them which should help with drying. I did originally ask him to just dot and dab all walls and he told me it’s a waste of money and should just render and skim. I’m actually worried that I will have damp problems at some stage and how on earth am I going to hack all this solid render off and change it not possible at all.

@@londonengland7096 it is still possible to remove the render it is just hard work again if no problems after so long i think you should be good Im not sure dot and dab would been much better in all honesty , you would have had to use foil back boards if worried about damp and stuck plus pinned in. thing is if damp is getting in then you must stop it from the source 1st be it a leak or condensation, again if not problems you should be grand just keep the air flow going and heat the house when cold out open window when cooking and showering ect

also have been to peoples houses that had lime and hatted it both looks and it been damp , here is very wet climate like raining 85% the year so lime has no hope to dry out in my opinions if your in london it might be a little better weather but no 100% sure

@@macplastering mate I really appreciate your replies. It’s so hard to make decisions because no one sings off the same hymn sheet. I’ll have to pray to god that nothing goes wrong, I’ve spent so much money and so many sleepless nights and nowhere near finished on this house

not sure yet mate funds are 0 after paying this

not sure i could ever afford those haha

sand and cement then acrylic mate and sand cement inside skim but for sure will have some details both inside and out :) inside might have some bird beaks corners cornice a few ceiling roses possibly a few fetcher walls, out side base/plinth bands quoins and possibly might run something around front door then acrylic on all with different contrasting colors

I like starting at top left and work left to right others prefer the other way but most plasterers i know in person do it the way i do... yes its all in the mix if you get that right and preparation things go a lot better, and as you know when plastering starts to go wrong its really hard work then... thanks again for watching and keep at it my friend always here to help

@@benglue5396 we use them when casting out moulds

Ceiling roses and corbels more like ropes and laps tho

Don't need it for this job buddy low suction loads of key I'm sure I said during video? Also added a little into mix

You could sbr wall if u wanted all the same every job is different

Yea I don't see water getting past my render at all or the roof as it should be well sheltered also but it is a pretty good design

No mate be grand as long as its not massive amounts per mix I have made sand and cement render with it for small loads of times now

So When i use sbr I always paint it on neat / pure and will coat over it while wet or tacky before it dries, when i add some to a mix I only ever add a drop full I believe there is loads off videos on my mixes on channel if you fancy a look.... There is for sure a way to calculate meter per weight of sand and cement im not sure on the mathematical formula but no doubt it would need the area and the depth added in then the ratio of mix and would give you what's needed to achieve this, thing is I have been doing it that long just go by eye and of course ever wall and backgrounds are different, will need different mixes and or more coats to get straight ect A good way to simplify how much you need is make one mix see how far that gets you then just multiply that and you will know how many mixes you shall need and how much materials hope this is helpful my friend

Thanks mate! What size trowel is best for sand and cement? I currently only have an 11"

@deaosatori216 11 inch woukd work well mate

Thanks mate I really appreciate all your help. I'm having fun learning! Is it okay to put a dash of Sikabond SBR+ in a top coat? I've seen some fellas say "never put waterproofer in top coat" but I don't know why. I bought a scarifier that has flat teeth and I'm finding it isn't sharp and strong enough to scratch the surface a lot of the time. Did I buy the wrong thing? Are those style scratchers for a different type of plastering maybe?

@deaosatori216 your gear is setting to muchnor on to thin if u wet wall down and add a little more on the scratcher should work 100%. I put water proffer in my top coat but really would use sbr can make it harder to finish

Yea a mate of mine asked why I didn't just make them myself but these are pretty well made. I always fill buckets 3 to 1 then 4 to 1 top coat if shovels to a bag probs be like 10 to a bag then 12 to a bag

@shadow_bandit403 I'm not 100% sure I would thought multi was harder due to it not being as fine . When mixing plaster a wetter mix is weaker that one with more plaster in it

@@shadow_bandit403 yea not looking forward to that at all
