This is explained so well! Not one wasted/filler word. Great job!

[@paulmurphy5396]

Great video Kirk best plastering channel I’ve seen 👍

[@Mazzeha]

Protect those eyes Kirk! Too precious to lose that! Great video, thank you!

[@mikedevlin5888]

You make me laugh. Great work boys.

[@alistairbooth5509]

Another fab vid. I think you have a vast wealth of experience..think I’d be definitely be right in saying what you don’t know about plastering ain’t worth knowing. Always a pleasure to watch. 🙌

[@Onthetrowel]

Very kind of you to say, cheers Alistair mate

[@ladgolf6330]

Quality work as ever chief. 👍

[@Rckhlld1]

Unbelievable finish there la 👍👍

[@AlexMorleyPlastering]

This is a great video. Well done Kirk

[@Onthetrowel]

Cheers mate, nice to hear from you Alex, you keeping well pal?

[@waynehendry9782]

I used to dustless sand lime wash off as easy job if you got the kit.If lime wash is thick then no sealer will work over time i found. Artex sold a product called stable x, but that was discontinued so i used the sandtex version kirk used or Wickes own brand as all the same stuff. Yeah. Smells nice. Duck tape and pull off is a good surface test plus easier than scrapping sometimes. Good information and well presented:)

[@Trowel1892]

Top job again Kirk

[@Onthetrowel]

Thanks mate

[@rustybrownstein8985]

Another cracking job 👍 Just a tip to any new plasterers use old left over plaster and save yourself a few £ on the halftime accelerator. I know kirk knows this, rumour has it that he was born with a trowel in his hand 😉

[@kwesip6267]

💯

[@jamiejosh96]

True, the advantage with the accelerator is that the plaster is still nice to trowl and comes back with water. Not the case with dirty water and can also easily go off too quick

[@JDalston]

Now I know why all the artex was falling off on a renovation we done. Gotta love the old heads

[@keiftaff8244]

Tidy job good to see start to finish with one trowel no speed skims or flexi trowels, milk crate on a hop ups always sketchy 😂😂

[@ptolemyauletesxii8642]

I've run across this, and distemper, too many times.

[@paulfleming1323]

I recently had a hall to skim …put SBR on then tried the first coat and it dried in about 10 min …..so I put sandtex on another wall that had no SBR on it put the stabilising solution on then the SBR and to be honest it was no better still drying out first coat, and yes it is crumbly and about 1950 property

[@matte999me]

Interested. Surely if the original is lathe and lime plaster then it needs lime plaster for repair?

[@joefowler9600]

Is the sbr just neat out of the tub?

[@TheNomadicTrader]

Did I catch that, you can add some water to a mix that's stiffening up to get it loose again? Or did i imagine that

[@ThePlasterer]

Cracked the 9000 mate!😂🎉

[@Onthetrowel]

Cheers Eric mate

[@ThePlasterer]

Well deserved mate 👍

[@jamie.840]

The lath ceilings are really dirty job pulling them down 😅

[@joeglabus7255]

Great vid as always kirk saftry first 😂😂

[@Onthetrowel]

You know me mate 😅😅😅

[@elliothomewood8070]

Do you get much of this stuff on walls as well?

[@swissanthony]

I found out the hard way that applying neat PVA to vinyl emulsion that’s sitting on top of lime wash paint will make the emulsion paint bubble up and blister. It did me a favour because it made scraping the wall down a lot easier…..A happy accident😊

[@ChrisLivingInYork]

It looks similar to Zinzeer Guardz and if it is, using a foam roller is better as it retains more liquid and won’t platter everywhere, especially when doing ceilings😊

[@Onthetrowel]

Your spot on mate, it is very similar stuff. And your right about the roller aswell. I'm sick of buying them though, this one was the only one I had on the van 🙈

[@mrbuster7255]

Overboard with a stop bead around the edge. Did 2 last week looks mint. Was in to mind but does look quality whennits done

[@MrR6pilot]

have you tried stilts ?

[@donatoferioli7426]

I use Crown Xp3 primer. Good stuff but it's £70 a tub.

[@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot]

Dunno how you boys would do 80/100 metres a day on site. Incredible speed. Surely the finish wouldn’t be as good as on a domestic job where you can take your time with it? I’ve never worked on site plastering but I have decorated new builds and the plastering is usually awful! Great vid fella

[@HarjeetSingh-cw5kg]

Very knowledgeable videos sir I just plastering, recently bought Marshall Town trowel 18" but getting rust from day one. How stop this. Thanks

[@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot]

There’s nothing wrong with surface rust. You’ve bought a carbon steel which will rust, is what it is. Soak it for a day or two in distilled vinegar and it’ll help lessen the rust

[@Onthetrowel]

Nic... your back. Where the hell have you been. Not seen your comments for ages?

[@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot]

@@Onthetrowel Kirk me ol mate. I’ve still been watching mate, literally daily. I’m a decorator as well and have been on a nightmare job so life outside of work has taken a hit hence listening to your vids on loudspeaker at work but not physically watching haha. Hope you’re good mate

[@jonfenwick6200]

Having a right issue on the current job mate with old painted walls. Walpaper been removed, and left the origional sand and cement interior walls (in Ireland this btw), so maybe lime sand and cement... but, i tell you i cannot get the plaater to slow down after it's been applied... SBR'd all walls, with neat SBR+, but it seemed to have no effect... 1st 2 rooms i we did it dried before i got rid to the 1st wall... 1st flattened it , and i got almost a smooth finish, but it was really drying quick, 2nd coat went on and by the time od got half way round again it was almost solid. Had to brush and water it off to bring something back to work with. Was a total nightmare. Not a great finish. Today, i did the hallway, ended up putting so much sbr on, and it did same thing. (Don't tell anyone but i left it at 1 coat , and it wasn't thick, and got a lovely finish, but. It was drying so fast again. Any ideas on old painted samd and cement walls?? I'm at a loss pal. Short of using a grit, i don't know what to try next. I was even thinking of using pva next! Ha..

[@Onthetrowel]

Have you tried putting the sbr on the day before mate?

[@jonfenwick6200]

No. Only maybe a. Weak coat. But, I'll give that a go mate. Would you say the same for the likes of like thick glossy paint too? Some of this paint is quite thick, not glossy, but definitely smooth and gloss like... if you follow.

[@Onthetrowel]

Yes. If it's high suction then definitely sbr it a good thick coat the day before and it seals properly overnight. This will be a game changer. Don't water down the sbr, always use it neat

[@twalk3849]

Nice video I've made this mistake before and paid the price lol good videos mate ! What that trowel your using 14 x 4 cement ??

[@Onthetrowel]

Yes mate

[@ste2442]

What trowel you use mate ?

[@Onthetrowel]

Carbon steel 14"x 4" Used to use 18 but hurts the wrist after years of abuse

[@ste2442]

@@Onthetrowel cheers mate , was on the trowel many years myself . Still do the odd job now and then . I’ve a 16 inch marshal town steel and a 16 ince nela flexi for as and when . Only just discovered your channel and subbed mate . Good stuff , keep it up 👍

[@StillGame787]

What boots are they ?

[@Onthetrowel]

These boots are made for walking

[@Onthetrowel]

They are 40 squid from screwfix. Slip on and off, great when in and out of customers houses looking at jobs

[@0117NUMBER1]

Wish i had lad's like yourself when i was looking for a plasterers! Fuckin cowboys that came and did my job talked a good game and it looked good when it was finished. That's until it dried out then it looked awful and started cracking and patches falling off the wall, now watching a couple off videos it seems like it wasn't bonded properly 🧱.........luckily i had a contract with a Guarantee so threaten to take them to court and got my money back... how hard is it now adays to find a tradesmen like yourself that take pride in there work 🤔 to many cowboys now adays just take your money do a shit job and run
