Couldn’t you have just plastered over the wall as opposed to boarding it up? Oh yeah it’s crazy I was walking past a neighbours house and you can see straight through into his room with the Tv, and never guess who was on, yourself! He must have a keen eye on your videos.

​@@Onthetrowel50 years in the trade engineering and building, it's people like us who teaches correct way to do things it's shocking how nobody is doing anything, do you know I've never ever used PVA in my life, I stumbled across sbr in the early 80s, just finished building double decker extension kitchen was in ready to go and I tipped by accident five litres of sbr on the concrete floor just before I go to tile, about half a metre square so I put some on a concrete block half and half, set the tyle try taking off the following day couldn't believe the difference, sbr everything artex before we skim, Mostly everything my coffee Corn Flakes, your attitude is fantastic mate

Every day is a school day. So glad I watched this before I tackle a DIY project. I was way over thinking it and this makes it nice and simple to follow.

Hey Ian... haha how have you found me on here? Cheers mate, that's very nice of you to say, cheers. Haha the secrets out now 🤣🤣 ☺️👍👍

[@140rware]

I’ve done this with nails to plaster a 11 metre wall, a plasterer explained this and I did it in browning won a block wall I had built. I was a brickie so good with a trowel but not a plasterer. I could put my straight edge anywhere on that wall and there was no ‘bonking’. I showed my wife, who just wanted it painted and finished. I was, and am proud of it yes no-one knows or cares. Slightly embarrassing to be so happy at what is routine for skilled men👍

[@jeffbourne6015]

A concise and well explained video outlining how to apply dots (and dabs) to fix plasterboard to a background. Variants to this method apply in setting screeds out to float a wall or ceiling (plumb and dot) when high levels of accuracy are required. Great to see you outlining different techniques for all levels of ability and noting how they can be adapted as one’s skills improve. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience.

[@Onthetrowel]

Thanks Jeff. Obviously you're a plasterer yourself so I appreciate when a fellow tradesman gives me a compliment on my work. Thank you 👍

[@finstabalised4244]

Love this, I did my C&G plastering in 84 and this is exactly the way I was taught how to Dot and Dab, We used to float kitchen walls this way too so we knew they were bob on. I changed jobs in 89 and have just brought a very old house that needs a lot of work. I dont think ill be upto my old speeds being off the trowel for so long but im looking forward to the challenge.

[@ThijsKoster]

You’re overwhelmed because you’re authentic. People are drawn like magnets to that these days. It’s becoming rare.

[@andrewarmitage9491]

Very nice vid explaining the dots. The reason why people dab all the way around the outside is for fire and safety. You may use more powder but it is the Safeway to do the job. It stops the smoke travelling all the way up the wall.

[@corrinemitchell6862]

Learning lots from your video's - thanks. Another reason to dab all the way round, creating a complete edging to the plasterboard, is for the airtightness it creates. It helps avoid draughts. Certainly in our last house, there were loads of areas letting in cold air. It was an old Victorian end terrace. With dot and dab, any air getting in behind any of the boards, is able to move right around the walls, passing behind other baorrds, to a spot where it might come out into the room. If you create a complete line all the way around, it keeps the cold air within that board. Certainly with the current rises in heating bills, anything to help prevent draughts moving aorund, helps keep bills lower. Hope that makes sense. I also used airtight tapes at joints of wall to floor and wall to ceiling before I stuck the plasterboards up. Really helped in reducing draughts. 🙂

[@iain2979]

This shows your commitment and great understanding of the job!

[@Onthetrowel]

Cheers Iain, appreciate your comment pal

[@paulmcdonald8055]

I personally fix a timber ground along the bottom, which when levelled can support the board and I just plumb the board up! It’s also a good fix for the joiners skirting boards rather than using an adhesive on them. Just different methods, whichever suits I suppose? No need for packers underneath keeping it of the ground.

[@Onthetrowel]

Great tip!

[@johnmcdonald9977]

Just watched your dot and dab video amongst others. I had a wall covered with plasterboard by one of the better plasterers in the area. He clearly just dabbed as the pipe boxing in running half way along the wall shows up as they are not equal on either side. Brilliant video.

[@shaunfisher9292]

Yes dots where used to form screeds to rule of, it is a fundamental of plastering that everyone should know and understand. Level a dot top and bottom at each end of a wall and line through of them. Then rule of the screeds that are running top and bottom. The same principle works on dry lining , British gypsum called it the gyproc system. And even supplied card dots.

[@Onthetrowel]

That'd the one, they tried to claim an age old system

I’m a DIYER who has got to dot and dab a couple of knauf aqua panel boards to some masonry behind a shower, and I’ve never done it before. This way will be really useful, I’m not in a rush. Cheers

It reminds of how they got their levels in my 1930's house. Taking off all the old plaster I found nails in the wall at different depths just under the top skim, the house is poured clinker block, I realised what theyd done, I put a level on them and they were spot on level ! I wonder could you do the same putting plasterboards up ? As long as you didn't push the screw heads in to the board putting it up ?

[@Onthetrowel]

Yes mate

[@kezikaze]

Which adhesive do you recommend? I'm going to try this method today as we have a very gnarly brick wall (chimney breast removal) and this method seems like the best for a 1st timer, so grateful you've shown this. I've read that some adhesives go off really quickly and I'm not very skilled so would like your advice on which is the best adhesive to use.

[@brimplas1]

Basically this is plumb dot and screed but for dry-lining fella! If you want a quicker way, do it with a screw and raw plug 👍. Its easier to adjust and there is no setting times to deal with... Had to board a bathroom last years that was being tiled with massive tiles and plumber said it had to be mm perfect... Keep up the good content buddy 👍

Hi Another good video years ago used little black pads and double headed nails. Tip tap edge of trowel on wall saves adhesive

[@BLUEHORIZON-g2b]

Yeah I understand this vid completely. I laboured for a cracking top class Plasterer and he too never dotted just dabbed using a massive long featheredge about say 3M. After he finished he'd always say to me, go check the walls/board to see if the actually were level. I used to always say when watching him use the feather-edge that no way they were, so it was Him asking/telling me to go look for myself using any of the levels. Every time they were always bang-on level and it always amazed me. That would have been over thierty years ago now and he's gone now sadly. He was a brilliant fella, he plastered all the walls and ceilings in mine and my wife's house, would take ANY payment, just said it was his wedding present to us, he was pals with the wife's dad.

British Gypsum taught Dot and dab back in 81, they actualy had you tacking the boards to the fiber dots with nails to support the boards till dabs set. only ever used the method twice from then till now.

[@Wattsjoinerybarn]

Fantastic video, I always assumed the dot was something like this as it’s similar to dot and screed which I remember seeing years ago on site! Interestingly when I dab I take a 5minutes before I do the wall to chalk line the perimeter with a laser, that way you only have to worry about the middle and on long runs it makes the skimming look mustard when it comes to ceiling and skirts. The building game has Always been a fine line between faffing about on the prep work making the application easy.

A great way to learn that side of your trade without having anyone to teach you. Also brilliant for any areas of where you have to have a perfectly flat area kitchens bathrooms etc….

[@michaellee2003]

That's fantastic I recently did similar but I was using foam fix and I didn't want the boards sinking too far back so I drilled holes in the brick fitted rawlplugs and screws the screw screw heads work as dots and can be adjusted in and out.

Interesting technique. Seems to me you could do the same by driving screws into the wall to act as dots and levelling them to a string line or probably a laser these days. That would be quicker than waiting for dots to dry. Any reason that wouldn't work? Might have to blob a dab of adhesive over the screw so when the board is pushed on it forms a wider support there than just the screw head.

Do you have a minimum and maximum gap in between the plasterboards . When i was fitting offices , we would use a crowbar to lift the boards up from the ground , i see you cut it precisely and slide on a bit of gyps on the floor . Lifting it makes it a bit easier , and can be done alone.
