Blaine is one of the most respected plastering schools on KZbin.. he's open to suggestion on a lot of the work he does and as with all plastering we're always learning.. give the guy a break and check out all of the videos he's done I've been plastering for 30 years and some of the tips he's got are still pretty good. he's one of the best plasterers out there.

[@dampsam]

30 year you might be getting the hang of it now 👍

[@damprotek]

@@dampsam yeah right so you were still using a plunger were you or hammering your plasterboard on ..plastering has changed reflexi trowels and such You're coming across as a know it all ..I've seen your plastering and you're not it's a good as you think . but yeah keep writing your guarantees that's where your money is isn't it and leave the hardcore plastering to the ones that are getting the meterage on.. attacking others for the sake of it doesn't look good it just makes you a bully

[@clarkey1977]

Big shout out to the unoffended Gen x lads. 🙌🏼 if you can't take criticism make sure you don't give someone a reason.

[@damprotek]

@@clarkey1977 there is criticism and there's also suggestions it's a shame we're not all infallible but we all make mistakes and we all can learn a thing or two I thought I knew it all until I came up against a young polish plasterer who was s*** hot And then I had to rethink and say to myself what is he doing different that I can improve my work on And I did but just attacking someone is just being a jerk..

You can skim hard wall soon as it’s set, the skimming goes in better as it’s still full of moisture. Next day it pulls it straight in. I’ve just checked online for installation guide…there’s a link, doesn’t give a time to skim.

[@dampsam]

If the wall has not dried out correctly the finish can crack and sometimes de-bond

[@bizganpetryca]

float&set is same day...when using bonding you can start skimming in about 1 hour after you've finished ruling etc.......when using hardwall, usually you lay in the morning and after a cup of tea/lunch(around lunch time) you skim the areas...It's been done and is being done this way to this day, to my knowledge! whoever does it the next day, is not on price or is not really efficient! ohhh and it all depends on the background and suction! have a good one!

[@mickygism]

It didn’t need the second coat of hard wall,he could have nail floated it ready for skimming. He shouldn’t of floated over paint, would of been better using gyp liner

[@PrestigeDrivewaysandpatios]

Hello sam I need some advice I looked at a job with a leaking guttering but they have damp inside, so obviously il need to treat the outside but as it’s penetrating damp would the render have to come off treat the exterior also? I know sounds silly but I’m still learning

[@dampsam]

Without seeing it this would be hard to say

[@jbo1475]

Blane plasters and renders full houses for a living by himself.. you on the other hand stick boards on walls with foam and prance about drilling holes in bottom bricks of peoples houses 😂 whos the plasterer? Not you pal

the waves in A MECHANICAL KEY are because a crack won't follow the waves chemical key is when something sticks chemically with out keying

[@dampsam]

Iv seen loads of cracks in render that’s been comb scratched , cracks happen for loads of reasons

[@terry4144]

yes but the theory behind it is less likely to follow the scratch line, whether it does or not I don't know@@dampsam

[@jacko791]

Interested to know what product you would have used. You said correctly that hardwall technically shouldn't be used over paint or SBR, only on bare brick/block. But you didn't really come back to it. I guess technically it should have been grind the paint off and hardwall it or SBR it then bonding. But sounds like you agreed with this lad's method of just using hardwall and SBR for an easy life

[@dampsam]

I wouldn’t make that call unless it was my job

[@carld9451]

Years ago we would be floating out with drywall in the morning and what we floated we would skim in the afternoon no problem all done in same day the next day it's murder to skim going in like fuck well better same day in fact it's made to be skimmed same day

[@dampsam]

I get what you’re saying and I used to do this too but I’m pointing out mis information . Adding up the time I believe it was skimmed the next day, he also says British Gypsum recommend skimming after 3-4 hours so I checked on the white book and it’s actually 48 hours.

[@plaziesmith9348]

wavey line was told at collage cuts up and down holds next coat better

When this old head talking about learning how to plaster at college 👀 wtf, the bags of plaster must've been delivered on horseback

[@carld9451]

Am rite handed and I go from left to rite on floating coat and skim coat I find it better you can get it flatter the floating coat all this go rite to left it doesn't make any difference witch way you go you do what ever suits ye

[@dampsam]

Well everyone to their own I’m saying what is taught and has been for centuries, the reason was when you worked in gangs , 2 would start on either wall and go round so they didn’t bump into each other or get in each others way. Brickies have similar systems for walls. It was taught in colleges and to apprentices but some didn’t go to college and started off just as labourers.

Great 👍

[@benwilkinson5457]

Sam your vids are highly entertaining and funny, but Blaine is a 1%er as you would say. By the way if a wall is perfectly upright, its plumb not level. Level is horizontal mate. Seeing as we are being pedantic😂

[@dampsam]

5% at a push 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@benwilkinson5457]

😂 you're a cruel bugger! He is a good spread. The reality is there is a lot of shit plasterers around, but I'd employ Blaine any day as I know you'd get quality work. Plastering was a much tougher game when plaster was mixed in baths with a stick. Abs of steel.

[@israeladesanya4596]

Imagine being well into your 50s crabbing peoples work and alls you do is foam boards and slap them on the wall.

Evening, Sam i want to ask you if you would mind doing a video of my work, just like this please, if you are interested please let me know, God bless. 😊

[@kevocos]

A serious lack of self awareness here, attempting to be condescending when you know less than the person you're slagging off. You'd think fact that all the creators he slags off, all absolutely shit on his viewing stats would give him enough of a pointer.

[@dampsam]

I don’t attempt to be condescending I boss it 😂

[@philhan6241]

Dude, it's just a bit of craic. Where's your sense of humour? It's meant for a bit of entertainment and can also be informative. Some people have very thin skin. Also, by commenting on the channel you help promote it, so Sam's laughing all the way to the bank. I thought he was actually quite positive towards Blaine compared to a lot of the other videos Sam has done.

[@colinwalsh5203]

Bag of hardwall is dry to skim from 1.5 to 2 hours. Check the white book or back of bag. Skim next day ? Never heard such nonsense. Sorry Sam but you’re making a bit of a tit of yourself.

[@dampsam]

Thick as castle doors some people, below is the correct times . The recommended drying time for Thistle Hardwall before skimming with finish plaster, as per the British Gypsum White Book, is typically 48 hours. However, it's crucial to consider environmental conditions like temperature and humidity, as they can affect drying times. Always follow the specific guidelines provided in the product documentation for accurate information.

[@AlanOliver20]

You've made yourself look like a right clown regarding keys. A mechanical key is a scratch. Blaine (plastering for beginners) was right.

[@dampsam]

For the hard of thinking like you I’ll explain, mechanical key is manufactured, physical Key is put on physically. 🥸

[@colinwalsh5203]

Never heard the phrase ‘ physical key ‘. Mechanical key is scratch , devil float. Chemical key is using a chemical.

[@AlanOliver20]

@@dampsam think you should stick to foaming boards mate.

Mechanical key is created by a devil float or scratch comb. Never heard of a physical key being used. I think youve confused yourself mate😂 And by the way it's a hawk not a hand board.😊
