Hi Everyone, Welcome to my channel!
Every Tuesday I’ll bring you tutorials, tool reviews and vlogs all about plastering.
My name’s Anthony and I’m a third generation plasterer from Prestatyn in North Wales. I’ve been plastering since 1999 and I’ve had the fortune to have been taught by my dad. I want to help spread the knowledge that I’ve learnt and to keep developing my skills. Plastering is an ever evolving trade and I would love for you to join me on my journey.

Can you make a video on how to plaster your second ceiling please as I would like to have a go at plastering my second ceiling first. Thanks😀

[@SunnyGlasgow]

lovely job, Anthony, thanks for the lesson, top class 👍

[@markmacdonald7590]

Thanks Anthony... 😊

[@FlyWhistle]

Very nice

[@joebruniges6478]

Another top vid bud always quality stuff 👌

[@aylorpaul39]

Informative video with approx timings helps, would been even better if you had shown exactly when to do each stage based on touch tests

[@jimmyniland9721]

What size trowel do you recommend, please ?

[@MsVanorak]

thanks, this is really useful. what brand of plaster are you using please? you seem to be using the same stuff for every layer and i'm trying to get something like that but have quit online searches due to the bewildering choice.

[@saydvoncripps]

Don't you just love it when they post a video and then can't be bothered to address the questions people must have? Thanks. Now I know not to bother with this guys posts

Thistle board finish

@@lloyd1176 thanks

[@warren7949]

Thanks for the video. It was a shame not to see extra bits you did. Did you have a brush in your hand near the end? Absolute beginner here 😁

[@VictorABTuray]

What is the name of the tape you use to tape the deviding line?

[@derekfoster5918]

thanks to dept of corrections ,nz,staff for teach me how to plaster

[@shemgresves6712]

Is a kitchen celling plaster board or ply wood board

[@clarkey1977]

Do you apply the 2nd coat with the same mix that was used for the first coat ?

[@snappyfish]

Good advice about being comfortable.. sounds daft but I wondered why no one really mentions this.. Everyone mentions the main stuff but you don't want to be faffing around at the wrong height etc.

[@mozzer999]

Great video. Camera wide angles are really good. Perhaps a warning should be given...you need a strong arm and shoulder for a ceiling. Even if you have the technique and are not used to it your arm feels like it will fall off....

[@eddiegilks6202]

Hi Antony, after applying your 2nd coat, do u not flatten it with the speedskim ? Or do u prefer to use a trowel to flatten the 2nd coat. Thanks great videos

[@paulsanders1212]

what are the dimensions of the room and height of ceiling?

[@carldriscoll6736]

I was always told to trowel into the light and you seem to go across it. Do it really matter ?

[@nobbystyles4807]

Anthony how come you dont tape all the screw heads up? im here to learn.

[@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot]

There’s no need to. If they’re screwed to the right depth Ie don’t pierce the paper then they won’t pop. The only time I tape them is if the ceilings been over boarded over lathe and plaster or by someone else

[@nobbystyles4807]

@@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot thanks!

[@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot]

@@nobbystyles4807 no worries mate. Won’t do any harm taping them though. If you’ve got scrim going spare why not

[@mickbaker7573]

Very impressed u did nt loose air pod in ur mix 😂

[@AnthonyParryPlastering]

Me too 😀

[@movietime111]

do you have to use a bonding agent when applying to new drywall? Thank you!

[@samkelly1375]

If the plasterboard is dusty or has been there a while brush it off and apply pva, but if its new just slap it on mate, if you feel like you need pva on it then get it on pal

[@groundhogday37]

if you're using the same mix for second coat, can you add water to it if it going off

[@AnthonyParryPlastering]

You can, but You’ll find when you add water to it, it’ll go off even quicker in the bucket. So I would suggest mixing a fresh one just to give you more control. It all depends on how confident you feel.

Great video bud ,u must spend some time editing it,,really well put together 👍👍

Off the Carta?

[@AnthonyParryPlastering]

I’m still using it😀, just wanted to do a more basic tutorial to help the beginners. Thought it was about time I did one.

[@nikolaostatsis8779]

You dont do a wet cross trowel

[@Brick_dont_hit_back]

Board finish instead of multi?

[@Participant616]

Surely stilts rather than all that scaffolding faff? Nobody carries about the sheer amount of crap needed to make a scaffold
