Great video, thanks for sharing! I bought a tub of something similar - 'Toupret Magic Finishing Kit' ready mixed fine finish. It comes with a small roller and a squeegee scraper. This plaster kit works in the same way, be it on a smaller scale. I used it in my own house and it works well!

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

That is awesome!

You make it look so easy👍

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

[@thetreeoflifegardeningserv9590]

I have been using recently. It's a good stuff and it's very easy to sand it dowm as well.

[@hemtet5500]

Very interesting did you seal the wall prior?

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

Prior to wallpapering with lining paper? Size as normal.

[@pcno2832]

We do this a lot in the 'States using redi-mixed joint filler. It seems to go on about the same way and requires a little sanding. It's good if you have a moderately messed-up wall, and don't want to get into traditional plastering.

[@jasonkane8144]

Do you have plasterers in the US? From how it appears online it seems to be a totally different culture where you guys have drywallers rather than plasterers and it seems to me those guys just use plasterboard adhesive/mud or something similar kind of like UK plasterers would use plaster? Have I got the right idea?

[@StuartBaron]

My dad told me to check your video out as I have a hallway and landing that needs a little attention. Its got a really poor latex paint finish on which I tried to sand off but it just gums up the pads, the alternative seems to be heat gun which is a lot of work. Do you reckon I can use this to go over the current paint to smooth it off (it isnt flaking anywhere) without having to remove it all and then paint straight on top of this? really trying to save some time and money here and this does look great, just seems it needs to go onto the wall directly and not onto a painted surface. (excellent video btw).

[@utubeape]

You have answered many questions, but if you could just do one more: Will it fill picture pin nail holes and other small but deep holes such as gouges from agressive wallpaper scraping in with the skimming?

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

have you watched the video of how thick it can go on?

About £25 a tub. And dry dry to light sand and paint next day.

[@strivevisualsuk]

I have stripped all wallpaper and been left with patchy old paint on the surface. Would this stuff be ok to use straight over that?

Phil any pin holes/bubbles as its drying? I get those with Knauf, its the only thing putting me off from using this system again as they are very hard to fill in or smooth out over and over again while drying.

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

no, no bubbles/holes. If you don't put enough on to smooth out you may find areas that look missed/dragged. But you learn to put enough on if its doing that

[@PBYM79]

I find the toupret skim and fill leaves pin holes too. Probably too much air injected when they mix in the factory.

[@marconeill2586]

You reckon you can apply straight to wood chip?

Why would you PVA the wall?

[@mattschannel1502]

@ProfessionalPainterDecorator really? Isn't that obvious? If your skimming a masonary wall with multi-finish you always pva or most plasterers use SBR now! It's because dry porous walls suck the water out of the plaster and prevents it sticking its also referred to "sizing a wall"

@tonyjamesr116 Oh very much so, it depends on what the person wants within their budget.

[@robert.wigley]

Why did you not take the radiator brackets off the wall? Also, it would not only have made it easier if you had taken the TRV head off and replaced it with a decorator's cap, but, speaking from experience, you should never rely on a TRV head to stay closed. You are asking for trouble, as they can open slightly and leak.

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

a plumber took the rads off. why would I need to remove the brackets?

[@robert.wigley]

@ProfessionalPainterDecorator So you don't need to cut the skim around them. Would be much quicker to remove them. Dodgy plumber then! 🤦

Interesting Phil, cheers. That sort of wall, traditionally we would have made good and lined it. Would you say this new product is better than lining paper? Looks like a great finish. Probably quicker too?

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

Oh I still lined it.. I used Albany Reinforced Lining paper... it's made for such a better wall than leaving it all Umpy Dorri.. If you didn't line it, I'd say two applications I'd of got it a lot flatter. But with the house being 150yrs old.... the customer likes the character of not having falt walls.

@@ofpcarnageful I think if you asked any decorator whaat they think to a plasterer plastering a wall to the standard thats needed for decorating over, they all would say its not flat and smooth, Hence why so many decorators are red oing wall with this type of stuff, which they can apply, sand and paint all within 24hrs, knowing its so much smoother.

[@ep91monster]

Just skim it, way faster and no sanding dust. Perfect finish. No sanding marks.

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

Skim it with what?

[@samsonacc8081]

He did skim it. If you are refering to traditional plaster, no way it's faster. Mixing up dust and dirt, carrying bags and buckets and water ... and how long before you can paint 😊? This you paint next day, no sanding dust since you would be sanding with dust extractor. Actually easy sanding is what makes it attractive to decorators, they don't have to worry and lose time on perfect troweling. However, traditional plaster is more durable. This isn't a plastering product, smoothing a wall after wall paper removal, just another prep step before paint that is all.

[@Pistol_Knight]
