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.

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.
@shaydoyle91047 жыл бұрын
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
@kafkaian7 жыл бұрын
Shay Doyle Can you say that again but go through point by point please? I find it hard to follow. It's not you, but me. Cheers
@shaydoyle91047 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!?

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.

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!

I haven’t seen this done in Canada in a long time. What’s the point of plastering? What is it? It is similar to a skim coat of drywall mud?
@tomfarnhill65635 жыл бұрын
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.

Hi I don't have a spat but have a refina plazi can that be used instead ?
@london-plasterercom7 жыл бұрын
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.

I think they are repairing the wall. It looks like it had wall paper originally

How do u go on about a plaster board wall with scrim do u double coat it were the scrim is or just as you are doing in the video thanks Micky please reply very good video

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..
