HOW TO APPLY VENETIAN PLASTER

[@orreng]

You learned through trowel and error!

[@didz2064]

Puny, very puny! 😆

[@BYOTools]

LOL! How did I not think of that one Orren. I'll have to remember that one for future projects.

[@heathergreen4184]

Hahaha!! Good one!

[@chicfini]

You definitely do know how real venetian plaster is supposed to look like.. this is bad work probably learned from KZbin university..

[@acarriere8534]

I have been doing this for years, I will only add that with a smaller spatula and more random strokes you get a more refined look, yes it is more work but the end result is better IMO. I did all the walls of my entire apartment, 1500 sq feet in this finish, it was hell to do but the feel and look of it is amazing. I just moved and now I got all the supplies to do the corridors and staircase of my new condo, in this finish. will start in the next 2 weeks if work does not get as crazy as it is now, LOL.

[@BYOTools]

Great to hear Alain and thanks so much for the input. Truly appreciate the support and thanks for watching.

[@jon-xq2lc]

Professional painter, 30 years now. Ugh. 🥺 so me mr know it all will tell how it’s done correctly lol. Jk 1- Always prime the wall close to the color of the plaster, Sherwin Williams pro block, Tint primer close to the Venetian plaster doesn’t need to be exact. 2-never large knife only 6-8 inch 3- smile this is fun to do 😀 apply plaster different directions pull it tight but leave some lines it’s ok but pull the plaster off. 4- let dry 2-4 hours 5- lightly sand. 220 grit I use. Remember lightly with sanding pole 6- Apply 2nd coat, This coat pull the material off tight. Remember knife in all different directions. Don’t over think it. 6- Let dry 2-4 hrs. ONLY. 7- the longer you leave it the harder it is to burnish. 8- use all four fingers on back 6” knife, start rubbing. The more you burnish the more shine you will see I like middle of the road sheen. Not all needs to be shines. That also gives depth. You could Apply sealer after. I do not. FYI. I’ve used every brand and Lowe’s has the best snd easiest to work with Venetian plaster. Good luck ✌️❤️ 🎨

[@gangelkoski]

Can i pm u?

[@nouselejia]

Yes you can see all the long strokes...better smaller spatula and short strokes

[@TheEfrain7]

I have to agree, that look is ugly, venetian plaster is meant to be elegant.

[@TiaraMarchae]

I just want to thank you so much …. I had already bought this “plaster” by Valstar and this is literally the ONLY video I could find on it. Before watching this video I had already applied it but forgot to polish and was wondering why it was dull. This video was very helpful!!!

[@fruitsoop]

Did you need to apply a tint to get the same color?

[@chicfini]

You need to stop it, go to a real venetian plaster classes and lots of practice before you start saying how good some KZbin venetian sloppy Venetian plaster work looks.

[@cncomics]

Hey Brent thanks for this tutorial! The "abandoned"/distressed aesthetic has been growing on me, and I've been thinking of doing a plaster finished wall above painted wainscoting for my office, so this just helped me confirm my decision.

[@BYOTools]

Love hearing the C. Thanks so much for watching and your support. Good luck with your project and let me know how it turns out.

[@martharetallick204]

I stand in awe of your cutting in skills.

[@BYOTools]

Thanks for noticing Martha. I’ve had a lot of practice haha ;) thanks for watching and the continued support.

[@martharetallick204]

@@BYOTools I'm still learning how to cut in. One of the best bits of advice came from our friend Leah at See Jane Drill. Start close to where the edge is and slowly move your brush over to it. Works for me!

[@lisaferrara8120]

WOW, this is certainly a beautiful and unique finish.

[@BYOTools]

Great to hear Lisa and couldn't agree more. Thanks so much for watching list and appreciate your support.

[@mjremy2605]

Lovely finish! To clarify for others, this is a thick latex paint that (may have some fillers) roller brushes on, or trowels on for more texture. You can use a small spade shaped trowel for more 'movement' in the finish but it is slower. You wait until the finish is 'leather hard' a term from pottery, where the finish is still damp but not sticky to the touch. At this point it is not fully dry, but dryish. Easy to burnish it with a trowel, stone, etc. There are many other design factors like pressing in a leaf skeleton, or fish skeleton, or sponging on a second color of deeper hue, to get more depth. True Venetian plaster is a mix of slaked limestone + marble dust + pigment + water/polymer. This is thicker, more texturized and more laborious, but essentially the same troweling on. You can do interior or exterior finishes, burnish the same way. Slaked Lime version can be used for shower stalls too. Amazing stuff and rich patina'ed Venetian effect. I'm going to try that on my RV shower walls with correct prepping of waterproof backer board. These cost much more per gallon.

[@raynellkahala4285]

Does this need a sealant ?

[@221b-Maker-Street]

@@raynellkahala4285 Not in the modern sense, no. Being mixture of crushed marble and lime, ideally it needs to _breathe._ Traditionally, it's finished with wax (or sometimes even olive soap!) which you burnish and buff in - a bit like you do to make chalk painted furniture durable. It'll be water-resistant, but never water _proof._ Dating back to Roman times - 27 BC-AD 286! - it's lime-based, so naturally mould and mildew-resistant - ideal in a bathroom. The lime's natural properties will be lost if you employ a modern sealant.

[@kayjae10]

Did you prime the wall or just mud & patch?

[@politic17]

Bro that's amazing but a few things. I worked in construction and remember seeing venician plaster and wanting to learn about it. But as time went on I forgot. Im glad you brought up this topic. Secondly.... I was thinking what!! that comes in a bucket and its that easy.... and people get charged alot of money for it.. but then you said it wasn't real. Which now you have to do the real thing...lol but man it really looks good. And finally how do you tell a pro from a rookie.... if he does the cutting of paint without tape...👍👍👍 again great job.

[@Joe.Rogan.]

Nice color. But personally I dislike the look of the final product when it's applied with a large trowel. Looks super blotchy and rushed. The way we used to do it was with a 3-4 inch thin metal scraper knife. This is very time consuming and hard on the wrist and arm. It would take days to finish a medium sized room but the result looked great. The pattern is tight and random which gives a authentic marble look.

[@Statement_stone]

Use a 240 pavan or come trowel for the best finish

[@YMTYMY]

Am doing that tomorrow. I did once already on my living room tv wall in black color I did use wax after looks beautiful. Now am doing the chimney and am here to refresh my mind cause I don’t do it that often .

Awesome job again, Brent. Where did you come up with this idea? I love the shine on the wall in your closing shot. I would like to see the real plaster done in the future! And take it easy on the camera!!! 🤣. Reminded me of “Men in Tights” shot with Dick Van Patten.

@@BYOTools I was thinking of waterproofing it all beforehand and I’ve seen ppl on Pinterest finish their walls with cement so I figured this would look nicer. Also, I wanted to save space and money by just refinishing the basement walls instead of framing them out and covering them with sheetrock.

Undercoat first and get it flat because any high points will show through. The better the foundations the better the job. Preparation is everything in plastering.

[@plastermaster4669]

Guys … don’t do this.. he’s doing pretty much everything wrong. Wrong tools and using way too much at a time. That’s why his final coat was uneven and dull. Valspar is OK but fades after 1-2 years. Practice material yes . Job site? No. Don’t use brushes like he did. And Never let sandpaper touch your wall people. Just use less material and be smart. Result should be a mirror finish not a dull non consistent finish. He used 2 gallons. All if should take is half a gallon maximum with 3 coats. You must burnish when wet unlike he said. He did it wrong resulting in peeling. This is painful to watch. By all means I support education but I don’t support false information. Please get your information from a professional. Not even urging to get it from me. Just watch more people before you try a wall. You’ll thank me later
