Been plastering years and this is a legitimate method. A lot of comments about the thickness, it’s exactly the same thickness as two coats! That’s the point. Like people have said if you’re a good plasterer you’ll get there with any decent method. Proof is in the finish.

Two coating 30 years and one coating like this for 7/8 years on plasterboards only and can’t tell difference once painted. Still two coat on old walls tho find its sets more evenly when troweling up.

For 12 years I've two coated apart from the odd lid or wall I couldn't be arsed with and in general, I'm with the old skool method, but I'm gonna try this way on a wall as an experiment. If it comes up as good as a two coat finish, I might use it a bit more, in situations where it saves some ball ache. However, on the whole, on areas where there are multiple joins, I'd be more inclined to stick to the traditional two coat method, as not every wall or ceiling you turn up to do is flush where the boards join.

Nice job, a few tips for anybody interested in this method.. Use the belly of the trowel when applying a thick coat of skim this will ensure the correct thickness.. Flatten the wall using a trowel and a hawk of stuff to fill in any hollows.. When sponging the wall use as less water as possible, a small empty kitchen spray will do.. Hold the sponge at the same angle you would a trowel keeping the belly of the sponge of the wall once up from bottom once down from top there's no need floating like you would a sand and cement finish. You just need to get the fat from the plaster to spread over the top.. Two rubs with any decent skiming trowel and it's done first rub to close the wall in and fill any hollows don't remove any fat just spread it around and don't use water second rub will after a brew with clean trowel keep wiping it with a brush and you will need less water if any apart from angles brushed in..off home easy peasy

@shaydoyle9104 7 жыл бұрын
I'll try. When putting the skim on the wall try keep the leading edge of the trowel as close to the wall as you can. This way when the skim spreads on you won't here a grating noise from the sand in the thistle bond or whatever is painted on the wall. I would just pva myself for a wall like that...anyway after you put the wall on wich should take lets say 5mins or so. Take a hawk or two of stuff from the same mix and spread over the top leaving it as neet as you can.. And go clean your bucket or whatever you have to do... You have to stay on top of the wall so make sure that all your angles are clean coving and skirting lines look straight etc. This is the time saving bit When it's ready to sponge use a small spray bottle a light mist will be enough to get the sponge moving.. For a wall this sise half a mister muscle bottle will be enough. There is no need to sponge in circles.. Just use the edge of the sponge along the angles and once up and once down the wall. Keeping the middle of the float off the wall, the sponge will move smoother this way... When you've done this flatten the wall straight away using no water removing none of the skim just spread it around closing the wall in filling any hollows as you go.. The wall at this point should have a layer of fat on it. The fat is what gives the nice finish. At this point you can't go wrong clean your angles and when the wall is ready trowel up you should need very little water because the wall is full of fat just flatten it in. This is not a new method of skiming you don't need special tools a cheap sponge float about 8euro, Good skiming trowel which you should already have and give it a go..I use a traditional skiming trowel up the final rub and pollish with a flexible. This is not a criticism of the video but there is no need for the amount of water the lads use here fair play to them for putting it up.. It's a hard thankless job at the end of the day

I used to take the piss out of people who one coated, i always swore by two. Only in the past 3 months or so i've been watching these 2 other lads i work with and their finish is probably one of the best i had ever came across in 10+ years. All they did is put one thick coat on...flatten it, leave for about 15 mins and spray it all over with water, sponge floated it and trowelled it over a couple times, couldn't find a single hollow in it (on old existing walls). I tried it for myself and then started wondering what the fuck have i been doing for 10 years!?

After 35 years of plastering I've developed severe tennis elbow, what I'm going to take from this is to go and buy a spatula to reduce trowel use and ease pressure on my elbow. Will still be doing 2 coats though as sponge floating looks just as tough on the elbow as applying a 2nd coat with a trowel.

Brings up a brilliant finish .only wish those long blades were out twenty yrs ago I'd still have my shoulders in one piece. Antin that makes a hard job a bit easier is a bonus. It's not up to plaster to remove sockets.nice work lads

I just don't know if i trust it yet. I've had a go with superflex but i haven't found it much use it. I don't feel i can get enough pressure on it for trowelling up. Maybe it just needs breaking in. Thinking about chucking some render one with it to break it in.

it does take some time to get used to. The steel is softer so the angle of the trowel and the pressure is different to using Marshall Town. Worth the persistence in my opinion. The trowels don't need any breaking in, the are good to go as soon as you buy them.

@@DanSoloPlastering I get your point, to an extent. However, all trades evolve in terms of processes and equipment. Bricky mate of mine worked with an old plasterer that wouldn't use a mechanical mixer and insisted on using an old metal 'bath' to mix in. Anything new, to him, wasn't 'traditional' and therefore was to be dismissed. You can't deny their speed and in reality they'd be a bit slower as the point of the video was to show the speed. Go back 20 years and you'd be taught to use one trowel which you'd need to break in. Now there are supa-flex trowels, speedskims and plastic trowels. Times change. Best embrace it.

i did this method today in a room..afterwards i could feel where the boards were kicking out on the joints..i know this does happen but thought maybe i was missing something suttle in the process 🤔

Hi Dean, could be you didn't lay on thick enough. Also use the spat starting from the bottom going up not from left to right where there are joints. Maybe go over it a couple of times with the spat that way if the boarding is not great.

We had the same problem. Had the room dot n dabbed and room was plastered using this same method. Joints on boards were visible, but on the 2 overskimmed walls they were bang on. Thre next room I used another spread I know who is more of the 2 coats with a trowel and every wall was bang on, whether it be d n d or over skimmed.

Is metal spatula beter then plastic? What is your opinion?I'm thinking of buying OX speedskim spatula
@london-plasterercom
@london-plasterercom 2 жыл бұрын
This is down to personal preference.. only thing with metal spats is the tend to warp and lose there shape. The other thing is it can draw the water out to the surface and can increase setting time.. i personally prefer plastic, the more rigid versions made by Refina, as they tend to hold there shape and last the longest.. they are a bit more expensive though. But if your starting out the plastic Ox Speedskims are good.. then maybe can look to add to your arsenal of tools in time. I hope that helps!

stick a l.e.d light on it when it dries up,looks great when flattening in with a refina but you need a stiff trowel to water your walls refina drags fat every where.i first and second with a stiff marshel town trowel flatten once with refina leave it for a while then finnish of with marshel town trowel then use refina for a polish

most of the properties in the uk are solid walls , plaster boards are only used on partitions and ceilings in a traditional building , and any skim coat should be 2 mm . and the first rough coat should be no less than 3/8 with the finish at 1/8 .

Michael Burr in a bucket of what or under a tap and push the plaster out with your hand a much as you can.. it won't be perfect but you can get a good six months constant use out of It before it needs replacing.

Dexter Siviter yes the plazi flex is fine. The larger spats are better as they flatten over larger areas, and give a flatter wall as a result, and quicker. But good results can be achieved with a plazi flex trowel.

Michael Burr it's exactly the same process as seen here.. the video doesn't show how thick we are putting on.. but it is 3mm thick.. that's usually the same thickness of two coats.. it's just that we are used to putting that thick first time.. it's take a bit of time to get used to putting on 3mm thick in one go.. I recommend to start with put two coats on straight away, no waiting around between coats and try and use the same mix.. when a little more confident then try putting in 3mm first time..
