Nice video. To all the plasterers knocking this at least there is no plaster on the ceiling, woodwork, beams, floor, window sill, down the sink and drain. The bloody mess plasterers make is unbelievable yet they have a go at a guy doing a tidy job. And let's face it you wouldn't come out and do this anyway, well not for any reasonable price and no price is worth the mess you guys make.

[@auntiel.6238]

Hello Sir; I want to thank you so very much! I live in a very old building built in the early 60's and the walls were brick and sand filled as mortal. I could not get any plastering to stick because of the sandy dry bits. However, because of your professional treatment prior to applying the wall plaster I was able to take a crumbling wall and rebuild it to a beautiful strong and smooth wall that looks brand new, well it is brand new. Sir, I owe you so much for this lesson you have my utmost respect as a craftsman. I asked so many people at Lowes and Home depute to help me and they kept telling me to buy things that I didn't even need. Oh by the way, I am a 55 year old woman 56 next month and because of your amazing directions I saved a bundle and now I have an ability that I didn't have before I found this video. If you ever wonder if you are helping anyone let me tell you YES!!!!!!! YOU ARE. I TRULY APPRECIATE YOU SIR.

[@eddjordan2399]

.pva as a primer should never be applied at more than 3 parts water to 1 part pva. other wise you end up with a skin of pva that the plaster is sticking to rather than the surface of the substrate and that actually makes the bond weaker. pva is primer to reduce suction not a glue to stick the plaster to the wall. good job otherwise.

[@suetheron4495]

@@hpt08 hi HP Im applying this to my own 1927 house with clay bricks, and am skipping the PVA. The fact that the wall sucks the moisture out of the plaster, is part of what makes it stick, because it also sucks the lime compounds into its matrix. Im throughly spraying the wall before applying any lime plaster, and spraying lightly after application. So far so good, no cracking and strong as anything, not powdery. I have to admit, getting the right mix has been tricky (soaking hydrated lime, mixing with gymsum hard plaster, roughly 1:1 ratio by weight). This guy appears to be using a different product. I would like to emulate his ability to achieve a smooth blemish-free surface, but my patches are larger and more difficult to achieve this atm

A couple of things. Why mess with magnets then just rip it off. 2 bonding would have been a better plaster to use. 3.skim the full wall it's a better job.

[@buildersandinteriorexperts]

Bonding is like blotting paper and can lead to problems with damp.

[@suetheron4495]

do you have to use PVA? I thought it wasn't recommended for heritage buildings/ breathable lime wall systems as it's essentially a plastic layer. The lime in the plaster will 'suck' into the wall and bond instantly...

It's not heritage is just brick that needs plastering. Look up what plasters use to bond before applying undercoat plaster. PVA is not plastic.

I live in an old flat, and have a corner area up by the ceiling which was flooded a year ago. It's dried out now, I've removed the top layer of old plaster to reveal really crumbly old render. The upper corner where the two walls and ceiling cornice meet has a hole the size of a fist in it now. The old render layer is about 15mm in thickness. 1) Should I chisel out all of the old render in sight back to the brick and just use the hard wall undercoat plaster to fill it after the PVA? . 2) If I chisel out all the old render, I'll be left with a 10mm gap running vertical where the two walls joined. Should I re-render both walls and rebuild the corner in render, then plaster? Or is this something that can be done in the undercoat plaster in layers? Hard to explain without a photo!

Hi mate, I wonder if you can go help me?. I've fitted some rawl plug anchors (self screw metal plugs) and in both fittings I've fitted the plaster has crumbled . So I'm assuming I will need to pollyfilla the repair. My question is. Do I pollyfill and skim over with the anchor still left in the wall? Or take it out? If I take it and then Reinsert after I've pollfillered will I run the risk of it the plaster crumbling when the rawl plug self drive goes in again?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Hi hopefully this video will help kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5DYeGCvn9-EoNk

[@DaddyBear3000]

Self screw plugs? You don’t meant plasterboard screw plugs? In a solid wall you would use normal plugs and if the wall is crumbly, use a long enough plug to get to the brick. On a lathe and plaster wall you’ll need to find a stud. Also important to use a screw the correct dimensions for the plug. Too small and it won’t grip properly, too big and it will just break.

[@barbarybar]

Use a magnet to find nails.

[@adriansandry2783]

Good job!

[@steves1460]

I really wouldn’t remove that wood in the way you do as it will likely do more damage to surrounding plaster. Liked the idea of using a magnet though, which I’d never thought of. Once the screws are located, you could have used a saw to cut either side and in that way, you could remove most of the wood very easily as it would only be held there by the plaster. Alternatively, you can use a circular cutter around the nail which then leaves the rest of the wood detached and easily removed. Thanks for sharing and not having a go! None of us are perfect.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

No worries, times money and a little extra filling is nothing. Thanks

[@kevwalton3229]

Hello, loved this video! I have just moved onto an 1930s house and took the wallpaper and dado rail off which had crumbling plaster behind it. It’s quite a large patch and I haven’t even tapped the rest of the wall yet to see if the rest is hollow. Is this the same process you’d do for half a wall say? So do you need to all anything else for the plaster to stick to the bricks for a large surface area? Also, I take it the plaster you use for brickwork is different to the plaster you use to skim.

[@Pollys13a]

Hello again. I expect you know, but in case you don't.Instead of hacking plaster off with a bolster and hammer.Which will remove the plaster you want off but also the surrounding plaster can also crack up and work loose. Electricians use a small angle grinder with bag or I assume dust extraction port. It is called a chasing tool, has two adjustable blades on it. I assume can just use one, also can get a chasing tool which fits onto your electric drill.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

You can but the filler is cheap and better to remove anything that is loose in a safe controlled manner . And if you're using anything mechanical make sure you know exact placement of wires or pipes.

ric david - if the holes are right into the brickwork, put mortar in them to bring them level with the brick face. You can buy pre-mix stuff that you just add water to on an as-needs basis.
