He will have a full grow beard by the time he finishes this job probably be dragging on the floor tripping up over it👍

[@p51dgp91]

That needed bonding first or very least a magic mix coat,then two coats of finish.

[@thewelshbuilder2454]

Yes I agree but it was the start of first lock down so was lucky to get multy finish at the time, but nearly a year later its doing OK but cheers for watching 👍

[@movevideodaily]

No corner beading?

[@craigrowlands7101]

Smashing job Buddy!! 👊🏻👊🏻

[@thewelshbuilder2454]

Cheers top man👍

[@michaelwoodhouse1473]

Thin tight cost of bonding would have been alot easier in this case for me personally

[@thewelshbuilder2454]

I agree, but at the time we was luck to get the 2 bags of multy finish, cheers for watching 👍

[@user_unknown1488]

@@thewelshbuilder2454 lol, remember when people were putting multi up on ebay for 70 quid a bag, haha and B&Q started selling that awful stuff that was so bad they ended up giving it away. funny times

[@ds-dt1wr]

Hi pal, great job. I've always been told to use bonding over thick artex like that before skimming but noticed you used multi finish straight on the artex. I have the same pattern to plaster over as you did here, so can i just go for pva and multi finish with no bonding coat? Cheers.

[@thewelshbuilder2454]

Hi there yes give the artex a scrape off and use a mask, and go over with plenty of pva and your good to go, I've done it for years and had no problems at all, cheers for watching the vid

[@hoshm5496]

Decent job that even if u r welsh man 😉

[@thewelshbuilder2454]

😂 Thanks lol

[@johnmac6393]

Did you get it tested for asbestos before you started scraping it.because that artex looks old.

[@rogerlatham195]

But to be fair better than I could do

[@RobBoFr]

Looks a bit wet behind where you're scraping at the start mate?

[@thewelshbuilder2454]

Ye It was buddy I soaked the wall with pva before and then decided to scrape it but good spot though

[@MrFlynnytwo]

No mate that’s damp! 👎

[@RobBoFr]

@@MrFlynnytwo yes mate, caused by something though? Probably want that sorted before plaster

[@thomasbingham2797]

Few negative comments I personally thought you did a smashing job there mate. Amount of times people going on and you having to say you used pva first lol

[@M.E63]

Always negative comments, problem is these people with the negative comments won’t ever show us how it’s meant to be done

[@petersparshot4997]

Great bit of skimming can tell you've been doing it a while

[@GerardRyan-rl4gb]

The walls look very damp that's why the artex has flaked off 🤔

[@merinodesinger465]

How much does something like this cost?

[@thewelshbuilder2454]

It depends where you live to be honest

[@thomasbingham2797]

Chesterton st5?

[@nigelbowditch7938]

Ffs what ever he charges is to much 😂

[@purplepunx7100]

So did you coat in PVA first and then add the plaster while the PVA was still tacky? Thanks

[@thewelshbuilder2454]

Hi there, yes I did go straight over the pva it stops the first coat of plaster from cracking, thanks for watching 👍

[@purplepunx7100]

The Welsh bricklayer builder thanks so much for your quick reply. I need to plaster over Artex in my house haha

[@thewelshbuilder2454]

@@purplepunx7100 good luck lol its not the easiest to Plaster over, try using extra time in the plaster it stops the plaster going off to quick, it's a little sachet called extra time 👍

[@purplepunx7100]

The Welsh bricklayer builder great stuff thanks for advice!

[@vijaykava1731]

Where is the corner beading

[@thewelshbuilder2454]

I had to put one coat on just to cover the artex then I put the beads on, but I forgot to film that bit lol, thanks for watching though 👍

[@CompetitiveEllisy]

@@thewelshbuilder2454 why not just put the bead on before you start bud?

[@delboy7928]

Wall was soaking wet rising damp

[@thewelshbuilder2454]

Yes there was damp there but it's been a year now and nothings come through but thanks for watching 👍

@@thewelshbuilder2454 wasnt putting ya work down geez i only said a negitive opinion end of the day lovely finish thats all that matters

[@bloggs692413]

Use bondin an skimm magic mix first no need for scraping then thick enuff to lose the pattern then 2 coats multi job done

[@moukbu4235]

Is that called bond and set?

[@thewelshbuilder2454]

Hi, we pva the wall then plaster straight over with multy finish plaster 👍

[@moukbu4235]

@@thewelshbuilder2454 so you don't have to bond first then skim over?

[@moukbu4235]

What do they mean when they say bond and set?

[@thewelshbuilder2454]

I'm not sure what it's called sorry, I've been taught always pva over a painting wall or a rough wall it just bond's the plaster to the wall better

[@nigelbowditch7938]

@@thewelshbuilder2454says it all you are not sure what it’s called lol😂 leave it to the professionals

[@bobbydelcavallo7181]

👋👌👍✅

[@nigelbowditch7938]

Where to start …. Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Definitely a damp problem to blow the Artex off in the first place and judging by your trowel skills I take it this is a side line ? And not your full time job not impressed and yes before you ask I’ve been plastering for over 30 years thanks for reading because your standard answer is thanks for watching

[@M.E63]

Would be nice to show us how it’s meant to be done if your telling me that’s the wrong way

[@Brick_dont_hit_back]

No Pva ?

[@MarcusT86]

Am I watching this correctly or did you only use one coat mate?

[@thewelshbuilder2454]

Haha no buddy always 2 coats, especially over artex 👍

[@brimplas1]
