Want a nice, simple way to plaster over artex.
This is the method I use on every Artex ceiling.
If you appreciate the work that goes into making these videos for you and you'd like to send a pint my way, then you can do that here:
www.buymeacoff...
also, the trowel I use is a 14" can get the same one here:

and the speedskim I use is this one:
amzn.to/3DfNbuW
any questions then please get me in the comments section 👍

I have been plastering for 33 years, and I have to say fair play your very neat and tidy, when I skim over artex I put a 1 hand full of bonding per bag into my first coat, lay it on quite thick then speedskim both ways, and flatten with a trowel, then when you top coat a hawk full goes miles, there for it will trowel up faster, also you took of the light fitting cover (to keep it clean) but that exposed live wires, I also unscrew the pendant lower it down a couple of inches put the cover back on then you only have to work around the wire, it's safer and easier, also the new plaster called fast set is a game changer, it totally works from mixing to final trowel in 1 hour 40 mins, good for a bedroom ceiling but not for an akward set,

Just turn the breaker off for the fixture before you start to work. If I need light I use lights plugged into another are not on that breaker, or my battery supplied lights. It really doesn't take much time to do a room this size if you're not producing an instructional video. But we all have our ways.

Good job my son! I always give an artex ceiling a scrape first- the flatter the better to start with. I normally bang the first coat on as fast as possible and flatten it after it’s all on. A speedskim is handy as long as the room is virtually empty. Like you say, leave the first coat to go pretty firm before the 2nd. It’s easy to try to rush so be able to finish by lunch… On the odd occasion I would use a zombie mix but that would only be if the artex is particularly deep or uneven. There is one crucial thing you missed out… you MUST wear safety glasses. I know from experience by being nearly blinded in one eye due to chemical burns. I always have safety glasses on now.

I totally agree with you about the safety glasses It really isn't something you think about And you shouldn't have to wait until you get a drop in the eye But yes some people do wait until that happens I'm afraid The first thing I do when I walk into the room is put on my safety glasses Like you wouldn't think should I put my safety belt on when you get in the car you just automatically do it

I learnt to plaster with my dad, he worked as a plasterer in Liverpool as well. Most of the old plasterers knew each other in those days lol. One of the things he used to tell me was as the plaster sets it gets warm and would soften the old artex. Causing it to pull away. He taught me to leave the first coat as long as possible as well. Also quite often he would use a half/half mix bonding and board finish for the first coat. He used to say it would help it stick. With modern plasters I don't think this is always necessary any more but still do it from time to time. Great channel a lot of the things you mention is just like listening to my dad talking about how to do things.

Flatten it with a speedskim both ways & Leave it for no less than 40 mins. On the 40th minute, I put on my second coat & finish off as you usually would. Sealing it a day before helps a lot.

Another good video mate. I like to mix bonding in to my 1st coat, thickens up your first coast of multi/ board finish so it covers the ceiling without having high spots showing through. Depending on how thick the artex is depends on how much bonding I’ll add. Never had any problems with it. It dose hang around for a while though as it’s a little thicker. Gives you time to prep your next set or have a cuppa 😊

Your an excellent spread! I use a similar technique to straighten stuff but rarely overskim artex due to risk of delamination. I think your edge technique is excellent for cleanliness which is something I have always struggled with, I named myself flick when I was doing bigger stuff but really want to get to dropping nowt so I enjoy the smaller domestic jobs, a lot of my work in my twenties was massive barn conversion stuff so it was more about being able to get it on in one or hang off a tower, the mess often didn't matter

I have always used PVA , mixed 3 Parts water to 1 part PVA , I roller on and brush on ( edges ) then, go and mix multi - finish plaster, then if dried out ei: very hot weather I give a second coat of PVA. before starting the first coat of plaster , as the ceiling should feel tacky/sticky before starting. As most ceilings are white I find it helpful to add a small amount of dye to the 3 to 1 mix of water and PVA , I use the red or blue chalk from Toolstation/ Screwfix for use with a chalk line , or any mortar dye ,just stir in , just add a little at a time , don’t overdo it !!! It’s only so you can easily see where you applied the PVA , When I did all my house I gave the ceilings a coat of 3 to 1 PVA the night before , and one in the morning before skimming, never had any problems, Lounge -diner has been done 27 years now and still perfect . Hope this helps 👍

Another great vid. I personally enjoy artex ceilings, I usually do a magic mix first coat, leave it a good 35/40 mins, then whip around with multi and if there’s any left I’ll go back round with a really right pass. Has a few jobs where even when it seems I’ve got the first coat flat, when I flatten the second coat I seem to have bumps and hollows, so now I just generally allow enough for worst case a tight third coat

Again Kirk, another great video. Loving the little tips you keep throwing in. This is exactly how my artex ceilings are done. Not cuz I know what you know, but rather than I'm not on the trowel daily and a lot slower putting on so it picks up a lot more by the time I 2nd coat 🤣. Be good to see a larger ceiling filmed and how to do a rolling set or just to be able to manage timing a little more for us slower plasterers/ multi's.

Is it better to use a metal wire brush to remove the paint and give the plaster something to bond to

Only if the paint is flaking off. Otherwise the sealer does the job

Good job, l need to plaster my ceilings but although l have plastered ceilings in my past l have 2 large ceilings that when my house was artexed it looks very bad my lounge you can see were the boards join and thay are in line so you can see them, ceiling in my bedroom it looks as if they cut out a large section to get up in the loft this ceiling is as bad as it gets with what looks like nail heads that were not hit in so l have lots of lumps all over the ceiling plus the board joins were they never smoothed out the tapes. before l retiered l was a finishing foreman for 30 years

Artex can contain asbestos , by skimming over it you are hiding it potentially from someone in the future, therefore over boarding is a better option , ive also found cracks you might not spot until after its been skimmed , another good reason for overboarding

Hi Kirk, can you put bonding on first then 2 coats of multi-finish. If so, how soon can you put multi-finish on the bonding. Also can you bond it one day and skim it the next. Or what about mixing bonding with multi-finish for the first coat, if so what ratio. Perhaps you can do a video answering these questions so others can get to know the answers. Great videos. I love to see that you have new videos in my suggestions. It's funny, when watching people like you, you kind of feel that you know them personally and its just a mate giving you advice and tips. Keep them coming and have a great weekend

Hi I do a lot of ceilings and used to put bonding on first, but have stopped. I think when the ceiling if basically flat it’s ok to do that because the bonding doesn’t go on very thick, so there’s not a lot of weight hanging it from the ceiling. However if the ceiling is very unflat or the artex is a heavy pattern, by the time you have filled hollows and then skimmed there’s too much gear hanging and it can come down even after it’s set. I have just walked from a job today because not happy about skimming over the heavy pattern, hence why I online now😂… so I either add some bonding to the skim on the first coat or just skim but I always push an over board. The customer today didn’t want to pay for the overboard and I don’t want to take the chance of it coming down. I not sure if pva itself can cause artex to peel .. with sir I am not sure how long you can leave it before it has to be skimmed…so I just go for the overboard now

Do you fix your overboards with dab or screw them into the ceiling? I just thought if its just dabed on wouldnt that just add to the weight pulling onto the existing ceiling and risk it still coming down? ​@@joeblogs8204
