Every Painters Worst Nightmare Poor Plaster

Every Painters Worst Nightmare Poor Plaster

[@geoffpurdy4391]

No matter how good a Decorator you are there is always a customer with a limited amount of money to spend that can only go so far with the job they need doing ,its frustrating at times but thats life i suppose .Those walls should be taken back to brick and replastered or at least over boarded but you can only work within the budget available at the time .Common problem i see every week so you just have to switch off your desire to do a nice job and move on to the next one .

[@Mystique-Dreams]

Money its the biggest factor in every story similar to this! People simply do not have enough money for this style of modern living!

Nice recovery mate, As a decorator for 50 years (now retired) I came up against These problems all of the time, & like i said nice Recovery. Baz.

Wow! ...as always - thank you for walking us through what's going on here!

Thank you

[@gray3553]

Man, times I've come across this, even over wallpaper. The mind boggles.

[@KC08RAS]

When u put pva on before painting what mixture do u put on. Also do u then mist coat after or full coats of paint

[@philllipoosis]

why do you have to use diluted pva please? to seal the large areas of plaster & filler? due to a bathroom or always as best practice to seal filler prior to painting?

[@Zeus-kj7nn]

I sympathise. I'm a spread, my best mate is a deccy like you. I'd wind him up by over poloshing on final trowel, you know the score! But that's brutal mate tbh! You did sound depressed in this video lol. I do like to look after the decs, just for personal pride in my work let alone reputation on a serious note. Subscribed.👍🏻Good job.

[@andymc4359]

Do you have to dilute paint before painting and by how much? Total noob here (well made a mess of bathroom by slapping on Matt paint and steam made it all peel off)

[@spinx1200]

Top job, ya did well to rescue this mess mate. Nice 1.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you.

[@andrewbirks7810]

Great job looks amazing what's a good roller sleeve for a 9 inch and a 4 inch roller

[@SteS]

Would this not have been a good candidate for using Zinsser Gardz instead of diluted PVA? Or did the budget not allow for it?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

No I use the diluted PVA to seal the filler and bare plaster.

[@SteS]

@@PaintingandDecoratingthanks. Looking forward to a video where you think it's needed.

[@NoahNobody]

This channel is great. So many handy tips.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you, thanks for watching.

[@LondonStuff.]

Great transformation. What was the treatment for the plaster? You used something before PVA?

[@chrispower5963]

As mentioned it wasn't PVA as it would've taken too long to dry so zin primer was used instead.

[@adammac4960]

How long does the undercoat plaster take to dry mate? Got a job that needs to be done in 2 days got a deep hole. Cheers

[@sacuv5704]

Hi, I am starting off my DIY career in my new house, can't get enough of your videos. But this one leaves me confused, most places I look it says not to PVA before painting. When and where is this rule applicable?

[@zelalemzele4090]

I was happy on ur work and it supposed help me to solve problems;thank u! But one thing like to ask u is the chemical or material u used sell is what was it? Writing u please

[@mlhuzzy]

Cracking job. I have a similar problem (less filling) but the customer has had it previously painted with a very shiny paint, not gloss, assuming vinyl silk. I have to paint over this, do I need to sand it first and then apply vinyl silk again? (I'm new to decorating and its a massive learning curve) - thanks if you find the time to reply. Keep up the great work :)

[@andrewmcgeorge7820]

As long as it's not oil based, should be ok. Sugar soap it first.

[@sirazsaleh5942]

@@andrewmcgeorge7820 do you not to give it light sand to give a key for fresh new paint to be applied , which has been painted say about 5-10years. It is ok if you have painted the wall few days before or few weeks before then you are ok applying the paint without sanding,as it still fresh.

[@jacktravers5049]

don't mean to be rude mate but how do you have customers when you're only beginning?

[@TheOlzee]

Should you always pva over the polyfiller to seal it stronger for when you roll it?

[@AstroHBF]

It looked great when done!

[@richardpearson4248]

Great video nice job stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻

[@RayMondElec]

Excellent video. I have been following your channel for some time now. Using the products you use. One thing I keeping struggling with is the filler shows through the paint. Even after multiple coats. I think you call this flash back. Not sure. Any pointers on this please. Thank you

[@PaintingandDecorating]

It will be down to texture either your filler is raised or too smooth for the surrounding area. Thanks

[@RayMondElec]

@@PaintingandDecorating ok thank you.

[@stevencrump3601]

Go over the filler with base coat or acrylic paint prior to top coat

[@RayMondElec]

@@stevencrump3601 ok thank you. Will give that a go.

[@bill7853]

Nice job..may I ask about the pva though ..on a number of forums incl trade it seems to be seen as a bad idea to emulsion over pva . Is that only in relation to neat pva and what's the max strength dilution you'd be happy to use then emulsion on top?. Many thanks, Bill in Devon

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thamk you... We use it thin like milky water.. and allow it to soak right in.. PVA can be bad if used wrong.

[@michaellloyd5024]

Hi, love your video, cracking result! I've got a cheeky question... I understand if you don't have the time to answer. I've recently moved into an old house after years in rented accommodation, so my DIY skills are scanty. I've filled some cracks in my plasterboard ceiling, but have over-filled it I think, so lots of rubbing down! Ceiling is slightly textured (textured paint I think, not Artex or anything like that), but the rubbed- down areas are now obviously smooth; it will look horrible when I paint over it. Short of sanding the whole ceiling flat 😬, I was thinking of rollering the smooth bits with textured paint and trying to blend it in, and then painting over whole ceiling with emulsion. I do want a good result though, so do you think this will work? or can you suggest anything else please? Kind regards, Mike

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Yes but its critical to got as close to the texture as possible and blend. Test patch work out your technique. Thanks

[@michaellloyd5024]

Thank you so much, and for quick reply!

[@jamesboyd5579]

Like night and day - another great job!! I am about to tackle a room, with cracks running down the internal corners. Do you tape them before filling, or do you rake out, PVA and then fill?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you yes same steps but use foam to back fill...

[@milamou9352]

The end result looks fabulous. While I was repainting my shower room, a piece of plaster fell off, exposing the pinkish unfinished wall underneath. How can I fix this problem? Should I sand it and then apply some dilute PVA? I have some wood glue at home and it says it's PVA, do you think this would be suitable? I'd very much appreciate your advice.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thanks... yes you can sand seal using diluted PVA then fill seal and paint.

[@milamou9352]

@@PaintingandDecorating Brilliant. Thanks so much for getting back to me.

[@superiorbeing95]

Was wondering what emulsion you use, been using ordinary dulux and the coverage is rubish

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Every comment you seam to leave is derogative.. which leads me to only one conclusion. You will have to forgive me if I ignore you from now on. Thanks.

[@superiorbeing95]

@@PaintingandDecorating All I asked was what paint you used, how is that derogatory? Was it the joke about the spray foam, I thought that was a bit of fun an in joke amongst regular viewers, wasn't meant to offend. Anyway, unsubscribing, strange reaction from you.

What make of emulsion are you using and why.

[@antb3334]

Why the coat of diluted PVA glue over the powdered filler ? Won’t a mist coat do the same .. it’s just to even the absorbency right ..

[@BobsmithMarley-uq3ir]

Hope you got good money for this work I always get bad plastered walls and plaster covered on skirting boards the amount of work it takes to fix alot of employers do not want to pay for the end good finish it deserves and you feel awkward with the time it can take before you even get to doing your job and painting.

[@justintemp]

I've had that at the house we moved into. Looked good but over time plaster chalked away. Have to sand it and redo. Case of mask it for the sale i think

[@B0jangle5]

Why do you use polyfilla after plaster? I thought plaster can be painted on after a mist coat.

[@Zeus-kj7nn]

Easi fill buddy.

[@mandyg.3004]

What an amazing transformation. Does that long pile sleeve smooth out Ok?

You obliviously did not watch the video... this was peeling plaster lol... not paint... watch all before commenting.. and gain some knowledge in decorating..

[@superiorbeing95]

@@PaintingandDecorating I meant the flaking paint issue which is what the original problem was when somebody decided to skim it. I've been subscribed to your channel for a while and didn't think I'd left any bad comments on any but it seems you got out of bed on the wrong side this morning or something so I'm unsubscribing grumpy chops. Some home truths by the way, I did watch all the video and thought you bodged it. Plaster doesn't peel it de-laminates, the bits you left and feathered up to will delaminate just the same because they have the same layers as the rest. It needed all scraping off, PVA and then a re-skim, I can actually plaster and that is a quick job made long winded by a bodging low-skilled decorator like yourself. Bit my tongue on plenty of your bodging videos so to be called out when I said nothing is hilarious. Get over yourself and learn to plaster!

[@brian0shea501]

The plaster was hard enough to get off sure u didn't just make a big job out off it

[@thejtizzel]

Not wallpaper, but if paint has aderhered to the plaster good, and isn’t flaking or cracking, no loose parts, and it’s still decent plaster under the paint, like and old wall with browning or something if you scour with Stanley and pva, it will be a good finish on paint. I don’t know what’s happened here

So you can polish a turd... well done, looks top.

[@mahlapropyzm9180]

Newsflash - plaster doesn't stick to paint. Had the same problem at my house - skim everywhere, over wallpaper, over poor plaster (cracked to buggery) and over paint. On the topside of one window reveal it was only the outer layer of (horrible grey) vinyl silk holding it up... What can we learn? Skimming doesn't solve anything apart from a plasterer's cash flow problems.

to be honest the problem is not with the plasterers because they would have to stay 2 days to clean 1 square metre of paint , problem is the owner he should paid more to do all the walls with plasteboard or just to shut the mouth not to complain , it's funny when you get phone calls I want it really cheap and perfect quality , is like to say i want the shit to smell like flower which it means they don't come together
