Plaster A Room In 1 HIT | PLASTER FASTER/ WET ANGLES/ PLASTERING STILTS/ PLASTERING BIG AREAS

[@coxy1984]

Fair play Blaine. I've been Plastering 20 years and I doubt I would be doing that in one hit , 3 way wet corners are a pain in the arse. Love your videos keep it up mate 👍

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thanks pal - you're a legend! Thank you for watching...I really appreciate it!

[@michalmichalec5334]

3 way wet corner ceases to be a problem when You cut slightly the "wings" of Your twitcher with an angle grinder and give the cut a proper rub down with sand paper. That's the only problem that comes to my mind when we talk about 3 way corner: twitcher damaging adjacent surfaces, because it has wrong angle.

[@michaelburns6839]

Great video Blain, I've been plastering for 20 years but it's always good to see how the other tradesman do it , top job 👍

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you mate! That means a lot to me - hope you’re well and thank you for watching!

[@jasonbottomley6211]

I've learnt so much about plastering Blain from you and I can't thank you enough fella, keep up the good work 👍

[@derekgoldsmith2730]

A wet mix, a very brave man. Well done, the sponge helps the drying surface.

[@frenchysvanlife]

I’m seriously impressed bud- as an intermediate level plasterer that would be a very daunting job to do in one hit as I always seem to rushing to get the first coat on and flattened in time (customers with the heating on flat out doesn’t help) Appreciate your vids bro - thanks mate - top job!

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thanks mate! I really appreciate that but it all comes with time. But you are right...the heating never helps ha! Good luck and thanks for watching!!

[@jamesfiddes9261]

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you mate. I really appreciate that pal 👍👍

[@Stu81]

Brave man taking on all those wet edges! Stressful to watch lol, looks great tho! For me that's a 425 job, day and half, my shoulder and elbow can't take doing the one day hits anymore. The nela twiches are the best I've used, got the mini flex and the 103, use the 103 for straightening and the mini for the last flick, the refina 600 spat is really good for flattening and closing in the top coat if used at the right time and the wall/ceiling is flat, the plazi spat is good for uneven hits just need to hit it a little earlier, it's not great if it's stiffened up too much, with my spats as well when I get a new one (because I haven't stored it in the van properly and gets a nick) I put the corners on a scaffold pole and give it a whack with a bit of batten to slightly bend the corners over then the ends don't cut in.

[@paulmichaeljarvis6863]

Excellent job I’ve been plastering for over 30 years and I’ve not met many players as natural as you

[@buildingperfectiongrouty8767]

Hi. This is my first time watching you. I can't believe how you work. Near perfection definitely on the efficiency side. Im a builder and can see that you are on point with the trowel. U put so many spreads to shame

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you so much mate. I really appreciate that - I hope to hear from you soon. Cheers 👍

[@geordie-drywall]

Aye mate plastered from 16yo back home and hadn't ever seen anyone using the stilts but over in NZ here nearly everyone does and you're right absolute game changer 👏

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Haha that's so true. I thought the same when I worked in NZ...they loved it ha! Great hearing from you. Cheers 👍

[@eddiegilks6202]

Great video Blain, well explained. I use the nela gold Flexi, I didnt like that at first either, but love it now, flattens great and a perfect finish.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Cheers pal...thank you for watching. Yeah that's a lovely Trowel also. I'm really starting to love the Nela trowels - great tools to use

[@softlad68]

When I was a lot younger I had started to skim, labouring of course first, mixing for a couple of men, keeping everything clean, occasionally getting the opportunity to put on a bit, gradually gathering the momentum and skill to get a good finish, really enjoyed it especially the timing and difficulty, then one day an older guy with 30 years experience, says to me , how he hated scraping at walls and ceilings every day like an old hen! said to me if I'd any sense do something else, he put me right off it. But watching your efforts makes me miss it again.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

It’s a shame that he put you off. It seems like you were getting the hang of it...maybe it was meant to be! Thanks for watching all the same. Cheers pal 👍

[@MrPembo15]

Great video .

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thanks mate!!

[@shaunbrennan8739]

Hi mate, Blaine you’ve got to try the 103degree flexible corner trowel from ragni. It will change the game for you, only use it towards the later stages (wet trowel, dry trowel) honest you won’t be brushing any corners anymore, you don’t need too. Will save time and a better job

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

I've got one actually but I always forget to use it. Great but of kit though, I must admit! Thanks for the heads up and I hope you're well my friend. Thanks for watching 👍

[@glenmiles6279]

You’re good though geezer,so respect.

[@northernpatriotmanchester675]

We used to mix 1 bag of carlite finish and 3 bags of board finish in a black rubbish bin gage used to last 3 hours so you could do the top floor of a 3 bedroom bellway house in one hit. No ceilings back then as they were artexed but good money making days

[@robertdooley3691]

Great video this pal... Some graft that, fair play... I remember cream of tartar back int day.... Plus that cold weather helps it hang a bit longer... Just a pain in the arse waiting for it to go sometimes... Always better off putting as much as you can on... Wouldn't have fancied that on a hot day though pal... Be going off like wild fire..🤯

[@efmplastering9258]

Great video very professional, for beginners I would teach them to use the trowel to flatten the walls first before they touch the speedskim.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Good point... thanks for watching mate!

[@LionofJudah1307]

If it saves time tho which is the battle for all plasterers dont you think the speed skim is a bonus- if used properly? Let's face it, it's a no brainer for a decent lay in on a first coat eh🤠

[@michaelali2323]

Well done

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Cheers mate!!

[@alanhansom3330]

Hi pai. Apologies?? I didn't see the scrim on the walls. Everyone seems to be using pink and orange. Love watching a pro in action 👍🏻Keep up the good work

Not a problem mate. I need to start using the orange scrim in my videos to make it clear ha! Thanks for watching pal, hope you're well 👍

What's the name of that plaster you're using because I use lime and molding plaster made by gypsum

[@chrispatiki4536]

Hi Blaine, you videos are very informative, I'm about to do my hallway soon. Do you find it a struggle to get the plaster on quickly when it's extremely hot in summer, as it goes off quicker?

Out of curiosity, why not use a board and stand instead of out of the bucket? It seems a lot slower having to take it from the bucket as well as extra strain on the back

[@nickmassy-collier2691]

Good video, can we get this exact same concept of banging a whole room on in one hit but with existing walls next time?

Have you tried worktall boots yet? Had mine over 6 months and find they are great for typical domestic jobs where your covering artex ceilings, perfect height and easier to get on and off than stilts!

Hi Blaine general builder here intermediate plasterer very impressed with the rendering and plaster quick question I've got a large walled area with painted surface I was going to reinforce with wire matting to allow Renee to bond to the wall however this is time consuming and expensive do you have any tips or alternative ways many thanks

[@maxklein3761]

blue grit

[@scottwatson4125]

Red grit 😂

[@llcoolbillz]

Always bring your bottoms up it's a lot quicker and using a 16 inch hawk and 20x5 carbon steel Marshall town makes it a doddle, I usually put 3 bags in 1st coat and 2 bags second gets you a 50 m2 room no half time but if your unsure put it in 1st mix as its the 1st coat that uses most plaster and goes off quickest

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Great tips here mate. Thanks for that - you should like a rapid plasterer so fair play. Cheers 👍👍

[@glenmiles6279]

Respect fella,i couldn’t attempt a whole room in one hit,I’d probably f..k it right up.

[@Cluedup2399]

How many bags mate first hit

[@myerbarry9912]

Great video Blaine you think later stages better to use Flexi trowel rather the stainless steel marshalltown?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Yeah, they are great to work with mate. Take a lot of stress from your joints and I feel they leave a lovely finish!! I love them 👍

[@TheKyleReality]

How long do you leave it between each towel to flat it? So when the plaster is on and you done your first wet towel what time after would you recommend to do the 2nd ect?

[@trefearon2843]

How long does it take you personally to do a whole room? Great videos you’ve helped me plaster a large majority of my mates house

[@lucasellerby3085]

Good graft mate been doing it 9 months on an apprenticeship can skim a wall but not consistent any tips ?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Just practice and mastering your timings. It comes naturally but just keep skimming - it gets easier with time my friend 👍

[@LionofJudah1307]

Good graft that pal! And decent finish! Couple of questions How long where you at that move and what was the addictive you mentioned I used the stilts many moons ago while in London but never kept them going when I got back to Glasgow, getting on now and waiting on a new hip but could still outdo a healthy 20 year old, although still using the tressles and planks, no wonder I need a knew hip (55 now) Wheres a good shout for the stilts?

[@mrbump8037]

Hey Blaine. After watching a many hours of your vids I’m ready to take the plunge and about to tackle plastering a painted brick wall. Would you recommend i try to remove the paint before applying the hardwall? If it’s not possible to remove all paint, would it be a waste of time to plaster over? Great channel by the way. Keep up the good work

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

You could dot and dab over the painted brick mate. PVA beforehand and Dab it when it's dried - I think you've got a better chance of getting it right and it will probably be easier pal.

[@gladniable]

Hey, watched your videos and got inspiration to try on my toilet, you are awesome. I have applied bonding with I am happy how it turned. Toilet is pretty small but lots of details , window on one side door on other and off course got myself 16" ragni wich is great but little bit tricky in smaller space. I know that ceiling needs to go first, should I finish ceiling completely and dry and then pick other wall and do the same or do the first coat on ceiling and flaten it and then other walls before second coat? I am afraid if I a mix for all walls first coat that I wouldn't make to put it on in time. 😏 Tnx!

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Hi mate! Thanks for watching. If you're new, I would just do one wall/ ceiling at a time. Wet Angles are hard and definitely not for beginners so just do 1 at a time my friend!

Hi Blaine...nice video. I have a questions please.... do you have a video showing how to deal with small gaps over doorways and narrow strips of plaster down the side of door frames that the trowel will not fit? I see that in buildings I have visited, most plasterers seem to struggle with these.

[@myerbarry9912]

Better to take Door moulding off first if you can, or use some type of small tool or small trowel to get it on use little water on thin brush to edges and occasional small tool in later stages too flatten,

[@LionofJudah1307]

Have a load of scrapers with differ t widths appropriate for the gap

[@LionofJudah1307]

And get used to using them, familiar with feathering edges on the kinks

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

To be honest mate, other than the Speedskim and what you said, that's it. That's pretty much everything I cover. I rarely use the other tools but they are needed sometimes. It just depends on the job pal. Thanks for watching by the way...great hearing from you again 👍

Yeah, I've scrim Taped them all mate 👍

[@zedzed1046]

Would never dream of fighting with wet angles on a ceiling and wall, wall to wall is a pain, usually do a ceiling then oposite walls then the other two, use a Marshaltown ( 30 years old now ) and no longer square, find a 1.25 liter Hozelock pump sprayer gets me the finest spray, and I dont plaster for a living, respect for tackling that much in one go.
