Respect Mac 🤝 Never had a go myself, watched an old boy do it on one job, was mighty impressive.

[@macplastering]

Yes man some the older ones doing this are unreal just got it to a fine art with trimmings and when to stop can be very important :) thanks for watching and commenting Ted mate

[@gilesfone]

The old school techniques are so interesting to watch, thanks. And congratulations on your subscriber numbers, you are growing 👍

[@macplastering]

Thanks buddy yes i think everyone should try learning the old ways of things and the new just gives more options on doing things

[@belhavenplasteringco.3563]

Lovely job mate, This is the side of Plastering I really enjoy. Great stuff

[@macplastering]

Hi mate thanks for watching and commenting yes same here I love doing things like this and brick effect render types of jobs :):) Thanks for watching and commenting mate

[@paultowns9880]

The finished job looks fantastic. Top class work.

It's hard work! I love to see the craftmanship and the finiahed result os beautiful.

[@macplastering]

Thanks Helen hope your having a great weekend

[@serenajoy1944]

Thank you so much for this - it's taken me ages to find a video of this. Much appreciated!

[@macplastering]

Yea this side of plastering is not very popular on KZbin for some reason not sure why but i do hope in the new year to do more on this type and making and selling ceiling roses and corbels ect

[@georgeomalley6066]

Top video, more details on internal/ external corner process + mixing plaster of Paris and hand application, love this stuff Pure Artisan Work 👏👏👏👏, Beats working out in the 🥶/ 🌧️ + you get a better return on hrs worked financially,

[@macplastering]

Good thinking mate for sure need to do some showing them corners getting worked in only thing is its really slow going so would be tricky to make it good to watch

[@MikeyCompton]

SO THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT! We've just ripped out coving like this, absolute nightmare!!!! Destroyed the wall and the ceiling, required £1000 over 4 days of repairs and prep before we could skim the room. You have great skill, but I recommend people only use coving like this if they want it until they're dead...and they have loathing and contempt for any future owners of their property after they're dead.

[@macplastering]

Yes cornice can be hard to remove for sure and can damage more coming off, This can also be done on a bench and screwed up

[@scottjohnson3483]

Fantastic job ,ive got about 7 foot of victorian coving to replace , im going .to give it a go

[@macplastering]

Nice one mate can you run it on a bench doing it situ is messy so cover up well :) thanks for watching

[@gavindykes3877]

Good job the skill is in doing the mitre's only thing I would suggest is doting casting plaster on your rules to stop any vibration which can make the cornice look juddery .

[@macplastering]

Thats a great tip buddy thank you

[@Ireland-bc2gx]

Very tasty work mucker as you show angles and reveals mark the job 👍

[@macplastering]

Thanks mate appreciate your support

@ You cant what Simon ?

[@macplastering]

@ I didn't mix them one is done as a build out just the same way I have seen loads of jobs of old done here that has been up a long time, but I would like you to explain why like go into detail I do know guys that have also mix casting with bonding to speed it up they say it works well for them I myself dont do that.

[@mhk1058]

Great video and great work! Did you ever do the plaster of paris mixing video? Trying to repair and old cornice and trying to get a workable consistency is not coming easily... and it's going off in 5 minutes!!

[@macplastering]

It dose set in ten to 39 mins not long working time mate you can add Size to slow it but won't cut/work as nice

[@macplastering]

Might try get a wee video on mixing it uploaded

[@willm437]

Nice job mate all looks really good cornishes and all that looks superb

[@macplastering]

Thanks 👍 I do hope to get more stuff like this up in future :)

[@willm437]

Yeah definitely it was brilliant. With two different meshes at the end of the video is one plastic and one like cotton based

[@macplastering]

Yes mate ones fiberglass and other a cotton, I remember we run outa sticky scrim and the guy came in with the cotton a green one its good ask you can easy tear it but you need to stick it up with plaster 1st middles are ok but corners are tricky you need to go in the sae direction i work this cornice in to get it to stick up fast.

[@willm437]

Cheers mate once again all looking awesome

thanks mate

Bonding but i also finished some someday ratios change on the plaster but will try do a video on how i mix it, also have a few moulding videos showing the tyoe of plaster and how i mix it

Crikey!? I thought these skills were lost. Well done mate!

[@macplastering]

I know a few guys can do this very very good at it too do they are, I hope to get more and more of this on the channel mate

[@Scribe3168]

@@macplastering I’ve just taken a load of original cornice down. It was in lime but layered like you’ve done it. I imagined them using a moulded wooden float with a mitre on either end to get into the corners but then I’ve never seen one. Skills like these are worth good money these days. If you moved to London you’d have work coming out of your ears and be a rich man, although your arms would never forgive you.

[@macplastering]

My arms where sore after this one but is enjoyable at the end :) yes London's calling :):)

[@macplastering]

Yes you find the older cornice with lime is just dead now and can crumble away but I love the fact that loads you see are still solid after all this time

[@Scribe3168]

@@macplastering yeah, I’m trying to save a big cornice about 300x300mm (or somewhere about) and two busts or female heads supporting an arch but the surface is degrading so it’s a tricky one. I’ve looked online for replacements but no joy. They’re heavily painted so I’m using a heat gun to remove most of the paint and then dry stripping with small tools by flicking the paint off but the chins have fallen off and had to be reglued on both the heads plus other bits and bobs. It’s been a case of strip fill sand fill strip fill sand, like you’re just going around in circles. Itried SBR on one of them but now it’s just got a coat of SBR over the crumbly surface. It hasn’t really stabilised it at all. Ive taken down the lath and plaster ceiling and I’m trying to keep the cornice so I’m having to saw the lathes close to the cornice but because the cornice is fragile the movement of sawing the lathes will break chunks off which then have to be reglued, filled and sanded as I go. Then all the lime plaster on the walls is cracked in large patches so needs removing and patching back in for the final skim. They’re the last bits of original character left in the building so I’m trying to save them.

[@anthonykenny1120]

Hi Mac, great final result in the finish,, fair play to you,, Big clean up after ???

[@macplastering]

Still cleaning it haha yes in situ is super super messy even with me trying y best to be clean and cover everything LOL

[@mickdowney3363]

Nice Mac, did you use PVA on the bonding before you used the casting plaster. Thanks.

[@macplastering]

No mate straight on keyed it up 1st pva before the bonding went on and some screws

Nice work there Mac , did you use PVA on the bonding before the casting plaster.

Cracking bit of work there Mac. If you don't mind me asking where did you get those knee straps for the stilts. They look some job

@@macplastering way better than the normal thin straps I'd say. If u can see them anytime maybe you might throw up a link to them cheers buddy 👍

Will do mate they seemed to be off amazon now they where on our amazon shop but they musta stop making them

[@RMHplastering]

Quality work mate Do you mix lime.putty with casting plaster for the top coat of cornice or just casting plaster ? Video showing how to make a mould to match an existing cornice that needs repairing would be class

[@macplastering]

Would make it a little easier but none in mate just casting plaster yea if i get the chance i will get that type f video done mate cheers :)

[@matte999me]

Hi mac. Tried a sample running in situ but the casting seems to go off too quickly. How do you overcome this? Would addition of lime putty say 50:50 slow the set time?

[@macplastering]

@@matte999me Never used lime putty but I know if you get mix wrong it wont set and can go like chalk for this one i used very little size .... size slows down the plaster but again to much and it wont cut nice and can peel if that makes sense

[@matte999me]

@@macplastering nice one. Guess it's a case of trying out. Many thanks. You are a star

[@macplastering]

@@matte999me No problems mate working it in situ is very messy and hard work much easier if run on bench and then fitted and made good but some times situ is a good way to go say patching an old for example

[@matte999me]

Nice work. How do you form the internal corners when running in situ?

[@macplastering]

Rue them in mate of the parts that are finished using a joint rule or busk takes time very slow funny i thought your question was about how i form the inside corner on sand and cement and was going to share this with you - kzbin.info/www/bejne/foKlm4aJd8h0jq8 but I will try get some videos in future with doing ore on this side of plastering
