[@roberthatcher2773]

Great work. Plasterers are in a league of their own!

I used to bung a handful of cement in the bonding......it goes off quick then ;) great work as always

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

This definately works mate! Sometimes too well haha! Thanks mate, I appreciate that. Cheers 👍

Bonding goes off quick anyway

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you mate. I really appreciate that and thank you for watching 👍

[@ronniebiggs4026]

Your welcome dude .I am a bricklayer but do the odd plastering job as plasterers seem in general to not be interested or expecting butler service but not great production or quality ! Your tuition videos are very easy to follow and for the semi skilled man these are essential....Let’s not forget everyone learns something new every day !

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Good man - well done for learning another trade mate. Bricklaying is hard enough without plastering as well so good on you. Thank you for watching, it means a lot and I'm glad it's helping you. Keep up the good work and keep learning 😉. Cheers!

[@loadsamoney80]

Being still old school you have made me get my first ox speedskim today lol being 40 I need to make me last another 10 years at least lol love the videos keep up good work👍👍

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

It definately helps mate!! Haha I hear you - we all need to work! Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it! Cheers pal 👍

[@mannmiester]

I won't do a ceiling without my speedskim and pole these days. Yeah you still have to trowel but for the flattening it reduces the work for you and saves on your neck. Saves so much time looking up

[@richh8860]

Hi Blain I’m also in agreement with Gordon Mackie,it’s great that you are prepared to take your time to impart your knowledge to people and great vids,and I’m in no way criticising you,because no two people work the same,and we can all learn and improve from others. However on Artexed cielings I’d always hit with a pissed out 50/50 pva mix,and let it pull in to the ceiling,then normal multi finish,and flatten out with a Refina spat on the first coat,then it’s business as normal for the second coat. Multi finish is just that,it can be the undercoat and the top coat,most people think of multi finish as just a finishing plaster. The key with all plastering/artexing is controlling the absorption rate of the substrate wall/ceiling,if it’s drawing too quickly you going to work hard. Keep up the good work👍

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

I usually do it the same way to be fair mate. I followed the same process which I filmed for the first video I created on Artex ceilings. I just thought I'd show a different method. The video is here is anyone wants to see it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpmZend7jLBrppI Thanks for your input and it was great hearing from you. I really appreciate it! Cheers pal 👍

You make this job so easy for everyone. Great videos. Kepp up the good work.

[@davidmcmanus1094]

Magic mix. Couple handfuls of bonding in the ski.. let it pull in. Thwn another good coat of skim Keep up the vids.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Cheers for that and thanks for watching!!

[@lukedruggan6839]

Thats how I do heavy artex ceiling saves waiting around for the bonding few handfuls of bonding in the mix then a heavy 2nd coat of multi

No worries mate. Thank you for watching!

Pva ,,magic mix 60/40 bonding/plaster then normal 2 coat plaster 👍 like the vids keep em coming

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Cheers matey, I appreciate it!

[@richardpaulkirk3500]

Plasterers are a special bread of humans 👍 half time personally only use in finish. Bonding 60 is way forward. Personally prefer sbr over pva . Zombie coat on first coat . 80 to 90 percent board finish and 10 to 20 percent Bonding then 100 percent board finish to top off . We all have our ways to get that smooth flat finish . 👍🙈👍. Mad one on super uneven surface I use medi flex to applie but always flaten off with a twister or refina blade. I gave yet to try plastic speedster. Speedskimmer . Hated the plastic trowel so maybe I need to try but not convinced with plastic blades trowels . Weird even my wife doesn't understand that I watch your videos after a day on the trowel 😆. Great vids keep it up 👍

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

How's it going mate! Sounds like you have it sorted - like the Zombie coat. Never heard of that ha!! It's always tough with an uneven wall/ ceiling but your way sounds legit. I love a plastic mate. Amazing finish! Hahaha that's funny! Thank you for watching anyway pal...I really appreciate it and thanks for the comments. It's great hearing from you 👍

[@stevengordon2145]

No sure why video got in my suggestions box but OK 😘😝.. I must have watched one of your videos fair play to ya fella.. Ive been plastering over 20yrs. Good on you for passing your knowledge on to the next generation of trade's.. Me personally I'm to much of a moddy arse to stand there and teach others 😂.. When individuals say 'plastering easy' my reply is, can you lay on a 22m2 ceiling single handed, clean up, rough out walls or ceiling for your next hit?? Answers always no.. Also the best to you for future 👍

Hey Blain, you are bound to get some knocks from the old stagers but I find your tutorials excellent , I am a sparks by trade but nowadays I suppose classed as multi trade. I am 70 and still keen to learn. Thanks.

[@mblake5655]

Wicked video thanks

[@TomGrant1]

Hi Blaine At what point with Artex do you decide to use a bonding coat first? Is it the thickness of the pattern in the artex? About to do a ceiling job but undecided on whether to just skim or bonding then skim. Great series of videos mate!

[@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot]

If you’ll have no chance of remotely covering the pattern with the first coat then that’s when it’s time to bond it, overboard it, or do a magic mix first clay which is bonding in the multi finish, Ie one bag of multi finish with a quarter of a bag of bonding mixed in, gives you more time and its fluffy and nice to spread

[@SB-dv8ih]

Do you pva on the artex before bonding ?

[@connorsmith9318]

Would you ever blue grit the ceiling

[@jonathanmcrae3728]

Is this just bonding plaster no multi mixed into it?

[@LiamMetcalfe]

Good video mate, been watching all of your vids and going to try and plaster a small wall next week, just a quick question, once I've plastered the wall, if I've got any plaster left in the bucket, is it worth starting another wall bearing in mind that there may not be enough to finish the second wall? I'm guessing you dont want to part plaster a wall and have to finish it with a new batch of plaster and try to cover the seam? Keep up the awesome vids as well :)

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thanks mate, I really appreciate that! No... only start a wall that you can finish - finish plaster doesn't patch in like filler. Hope this helps pal 👍

[@onefortheroad1]

Do you need to pva the artic before bonding

[@rav1970]

Is it possible to plaster over all artex?

[@nelsoncuesta6057]

Great videos, could I use a roller to apply pva? Instead of the brush, cheers

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Yeah mate... That's a great way to do it!!

[@w1ll1e100]

Hi like your helpful informative videos. I plastered my bathroom today and got multi finish in my eye. Very sore and after 5 different ways of washing it out I am messaging you with tears still streaming from my right eye. How long should I give it before heading to A&E ? What do you do ? I was coming to the end and my plaster was to stiffen and I tried to work it a bit to soften. Any info would be great thanks

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Mate I think you need to go A&E - hope you're ok my friend 😭😭😭

[@sniffadoghq]

3:07 thought you was taking a leak on the floor for a second there!

[@dilligaf2386]

Explained well good video. Just one question though I e-mailed British gypsum about bonding plaster on ceilings because I need to bond a ceiling 8mm bag says 8mm on ceilings, British gypsum technical support says no 8mm can't work on ceilings? You look like you're putting on bonding quite thin just to level things out, what your experience Blaine?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Well laths and plaster were a lot thicker than 8mm so it all depends on the surface your plastering onto! I'm guessing they're worried about the weight!! It would be a lot of extra plaster!

[@dilligaf2386]

@@PlasteringForBeginners technical support e-mailed back today saying 5mm to 8mm is fine on ceilings, they said ignore the previous e-mail. They certainly know how to confuse you. Keep vids coming blain.

[@deathcoreog7156]

Great videos! Quick question if i apply a bonding coat to my ceiling will i need to plaster over it straight away or am i able to leave it and come back to it when ready? I'm gonna be plastering my ceiling and walls. Ill be bonding the ceiling then skimming walls and ceiling with multi finish. Can you expand on what you said about tieing the walls into the ceiling as i don't want it to crack. obviously ill be tackling the ceiling first. then moving onto the walls, complete beginner, any advice for meeting walls and ceiling?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

It's totally up to you mate. As long as you PVA the Bonding then it doesn't matter how long you wait - but apply 2 coats of PVA if you're going to plaster it the next day. Use Scrim tape on all your edges and your walls will be tied in pal. Hope this helps mate 👍

[@Tuskcomms]

@@PlasteringForBeginners Hi Blaine, if I come back to it the next day, for the two coats of PVA, how long between each coat is applied? Spoke to British Gypsum also, and they said just wet it and they’re dead against PVA on the bonding. Thanks for the videos btw. They’re a big help

[@jessehaze5754]

Is that a wrist support your wearing ?

Yeah mate. My wrists are buggered ha!

I’ve just copped a couple, takes the strain off the joints a bit don’t it!!

[@tristanpy]

do you think you could use premixed plaster or does it not matter?

[@jessehaze5754]

Did you use same mix or a fresh mix for second coat?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

I used the same mix of multi for this video but I usually do seperate mixs to be fair pal!

[@anthonypower362]

How long do you leave bounding before you plaster over it?

[@tomoliver4632]

Until it's set dry to touch and doesn't move

[@allansmith3307]

so you put bonding on first on a artexed ceiling and the pva before the multi ,is that the right way? thanks Allan

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

That's correct pal 👍

[@jimbo2011re]

Hi there Blain, why did you not PVA the textured ceiling first before coating it with bonding??

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Hi mate! I did PVA the ceiling but it was prepped when I plastered the walls weeks previously. Sorry I should have stated that in the video. My bad 👍

[@kf5541]

Pre grit?

[@HGarry4012]

Was just gonna ask same thing ha Nice job by the way

[@dbgers784]

@@PlasteringForBeginners you MUST coat over PVA when tacky unless you mix PVA & sand. Why didn't you scrim the angles when skimming walls? Also push them wires for spots up in out the road so it's handier & quicker👍

[@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot]

@@dbgers784 no you mustn’t. I always go over my neat pva when it’s dry and have never had any problems

[@israeladesanya4596]

What would you recommend for a artex ceiling that's very thick?, I reckon a inch in most places. I was going to just overboard but when iv got on the job, iv never seen anything like it.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

I think I would overboard if it's that bad my friend 👍

[@SteS]

Hey Blaine. Is it normal for the wires to be flapping about in the breeze like that.. If it was me I would've shoved them into the void and the sparkie would fish them down when they come to 2nd fix.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Haha it unfortunately is my friend. I find a lot of sparkies leave their cables like that to be honest. It never helps but you are right. I should just poke them through and let them deal with it afterwards haha 😂

[@SteS]

@@PlasteringForBeginners serious. I follow a couple of them on here and they set them into the back boxes and recesses afterwards. Maybe only KZbin sparkies do this 😂

[@floatybyboaty]

I have a Artex ceiling to cover with cracks all over. Is it worth taping again prior to the Bonding coat?

[@MarcusT86]

Another great video mate. Where did you get the wrist strap?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thanks mate! I got it from a sports store pal - they are very common matey!

[@regoftherovers7175]

Hi, im about to plaster my first artex ceiling, is the bonding the best method or knocking the high spots off and plastering?

[@bryngriffiths5186]

Knock off high spots then bond 👍🏻

[@steved6472]

Also if you are going to bond it try mixing half and half with multi then just lay in a second coat of skim when it goes brown

[@neveryoumind9237]

When you knocked up that bonding in your decent bucket 😂😂 haha we’ve all done it, defo need to get a few sachets of these you used them for skimming? I know people say use dirty water but not a fan tbh

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Ha yeah I should've known better I suppose ha! Yeah mate you get Halftime for Bonding and a separate one for finish plaster 👍

[@werdna21]

Did you Pva this before bonding?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

I did matey!

[@Tonysteele2]

Hi Blaine, i have a house built in the 70s with artex on the ceilings everywhere with the low dimples style(tested positive for asbestos). Would this process you used to here be applicable in my case or not really? Good video to watch btw

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Yes definately my friend. Unless you want to pay for someone to dispose of it - otherwise this is the best way. Hope this helps mate 👍

Plastering For Beginners your some guy for replying cheers 👌

[@patmcloughlin1041]

After plastering over artex what can you do if some of the lines come throw.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

You can either sand it down or re-plaster it my friend 👍

[@johnpeake319]

How long after I bond up can I scim on to it. I always wait till day after but ppl say wait an hour!! But I don't want to chance it. But some times it's a bit of bond but not worth waiting until the next day. Hope this makes sense lol many thanks John

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Hi mate! An hour should be enough pal. As long as it's hard then there really shouldn't be a problem 👍

[@chrishatfield4424]

hi blain, what's the best course of action with a quite heavy artexed ceiling? same procedure with a thicker coverage of bonding?

[@andrewmacdonald7090]

Over board to save any hassle if artex is thick and uneven . Artex as no guarntee of been reskimmable and can and does fail . The more weight added to a celing is always depending on the original bond of the artex you are covering

[@chrishatfield4424]

@@andrewmacdonald7090 thank you mate, overboard it is then, bloody artex looks so 70's

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Good point Andrew - good man!

[@gb7729]

artex should never be plastered over because its not technically a plaster its a air drying compound ,it doesn't set, it dries out, unlike plaster where a chemical reaction takes place, that why u can mix a bucket of artex and use it next day once u cover the bucket ,what happens is the water in the new coat softens the artex and thats why the ceilings fail ,so overboard it ,its a much better job, ive been a spread since 1991👍

[@kevlar8632]

Im no expert but I’ve been told that extra time is just cream of tartar with the added price tag. What are your thoughts?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Hello pal! I've never actually used it but I have friends in our plastering group that swear by cream of Tartar. They say it's a brilliant plaster retardant so yes..you could be right mate 👍

[@kevlar8632]

12 sachets of cream of tartar for the price of one extra time. 🤔

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

That's madness mate!! If you test it out let me know how it goes. Cheers 👍

[@kevlar8632]

Will do 👍🏻

[@hoshm5496]

Is bonding the same thing as browning?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Kind of - British Gypsum have stopped producing Browning so you won't see it anyone. It's a shame really, I like using it when I was in Manchester

[@onpointplastering]

All depends on how heavy the artex is if it's over 6mm I will coat it out with a bonding/finish mix or just bonding but I get away with doing alot of artex ceiling with just using multi I will try and upload my method when I get a chance In no way am I criticising your work nice job m8 👍only thing I never heard in vid or saw in description was did you pva the artex ceiling after scraping it its imperative that you do this not knocking u bud

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Me too pal. My first video on Artex ceilings, (which is on my channel), I tackled the same way - I just wanted to provide another method. However, I usually do it the way you said. I didn't actually scrape this one which is why I bonded it but the ceiling was PVA'd prior. Great hearing from you and I look forward to seeing your next video pal. Cheers 👍

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Ha it does matey!

[@blackesteyes1133]

Same here mate. My old gaffer once used straight bonding on an artex ceiling, and because it stayed wet for ages it soaked through the pva and through artex and fell down. He heard a little creek when he was toweling up, suspected it might come down, so told customer to empty kitchen, sheet up and it dropped at 2.30am. Literally came off in one sheet and brought the artex with it. He then just pva'd it and skimmed it. I've never trusted neat bonding over artex, usually just use multi and when needed 2/3 finish 1/3 bonding.
