Thank you for explaining the difference between sand types. Im having trouble finding plastering sand at my local hardware store. Is there a special name or brand that you use. Thanks Philadelphia PA USA
@macplastering Күн бұрын
You might be better looking for stucco sand or bagged stucco our plastering sand comes of the lough here it isn't as fine as building and has some grit in it but not as gritty as paving sand hope this helps

Hi , I bought this hawk about 6 months ago after 20 years plastering , I find it pulls my rear deltoid more than anything else but it is easy on the wrist I admit
@macplastering 2 күн бұрын
@smithy4297 hi buddy yea for me I had a bad elbow from plastering and boxing not sure which ligament it was, but if I use a normal hawk floating a week my elbow woukd be dead don't find it hard on my shoulder at all or that I have noticed is it something you woukd say will ease or get worse?
@smithy4297 Күн бұрын
@ it’s got better it started pulling my rear deltoid but nothing now , definitely a worth buying , its the same price as a basic hawk these days so may well m get one of these 👍🏼

Decorator from Belfast here. Enjoy your videos. This is basically the method I use. 2 things that I find make the job easier is using a paint shuttle with a roller on a pole for applying the water and a filling knife rather than a scraper. The thinner, more flexible blade is much quicker.

At main showroom VW dealership. Expecting them to collect a hired cordles electric, no hired a petrol saw. Guy collapsed from monoxide so ambulanced away t, and not a good impression on safety. Guy was fine. Week off work forthis self ep ly after, hire centre called with a cordless saw. I was left to deal a HSE! Indoors incident! Indoors? use electric saws for indoor jobs.

Hi mate, I'm newbie refurbishing my house which is stripped back to brick. Do I need to sand and cement render it before I can do the electrics 1st fix? From the online reading I've done I think the correct steps would be to sand and cement the walls, then PVA it, then skim plaster. Wanted to make sure I am doing the right steps before I do electrics 1st fix. Thanks for your input!

Good luck lad, you not doing any harm either to letting the roof and blockwork cure in a little. Once the heating goes on that roof will shrink back 10-15mm. With fresh block work always left horrible cracks. I did my build at your speed and had very few cracks, from screed lay to the underfloor heating going on was 3-4 months made a world of difference after too 280m2 of tiles laid an no boasting of tile anywhere. So patience paid off. Your are going grand, enjoy the the tracking, regret now not adding more 5amp wall switches for plugged lower room lights, and allows the sparks to use CAT 5e over CAT 6 as my Ariel single is crap thanks to all the traffic from cross cabling!
@macplastering 24 күн бұрын
great advise thank you so much my friend yes i do agree with a slow build having less cracking / settling issues for sure new builds now are up in no time but this one has had good time in-between the big stages founds then slabs had big space between them then the build and roof was a slow mover to and now it has been sitting for months settling and drying in all weather hahah but the windows sealing it up will be a big help to keeping it nice and dry but looking like me tracking it will be after they are in so might need to hook a vacuum up keep dust down

@macplastering that is a great laser , haven't heard of them but it looks good . if u havent use a laser that much watch a decent tutorial on it. there loads of little tricks ppl show u . for instance i usually make a block or a notched block eg 10mm & mark a thin pencil line then level the timber its more accurate also get 2 end points level and then striaght edge it across . you definitely have to do a follow up video on it
