7 Tips For The PERFECT FINISH In Plastering | Plastering For Beginners

In this video, we'll show you how to get the perfect finish in plastering. I'll show you I how plaster a wall and outline 7 BIG TIPS that you need to follow to get crisp, flat walls.

This video is pretty experimental because I try different methods of plastering...methods that I've never tried before which means your seeing them for the first time. I explore new ideas whilst trying to get a better finish.

There's a lot to learn in this tutorial and there are lots of plastering tips and tricks to learn so keep your eyes peeled. This video is not something I recommend for beginners because there are some advanced techniques I used here so check out our Welcome Course for a beginners guide to plastering. The link is at the top.

Thanks for the video, tons of tips. I have just plaster my first wall, and it turned out great, who sez a 40 yr old woman can't do it 😁👍

Great videos! Ive got an idea for you for a video. Consider taking a total amateur and take them through the process

[johnshirley]

Hi Blaine

[drewwhy]

You are the man. Thank you for your videos

Great video. Do you wait for your first coat to go off a bit before applying second coat

[alexthompson]

I was always told the reason you had to put a shine on the walls, was not to annoy the decorators, but it was required so you could see that the decorators had given the walls a light sand before painting. Putting a sheen on the plaster would only disappear once sanded. It was particularly required by contractors so they knew the walls had been sanded?

Excellent tutorial, only thing i always do is to take the sockets off and tuck the cable out of the way. I always seem to get it wobbly around the boxes otherwise. Takes half an hour but saves a lot of messing about

[yousafamin]

I love your stuff Bro. Your a fellow Manc so that makes it even better .

Big Respect M8 keep em coming.

Have you done an Advanced Plasterers Vid showing how to put loads on at a time I feel like I'm not gettin enough on.

[Sethorion]

Another great educational video. It's satisfying seeing a pro create such a nice wall.

One request from myself is: please can you make more videos on old fashioned float and set? You already have a video - which is good - but in it you use an existing wall as a plumb reference. I'd love to see an in-depth video on how to go from a bare brick wall to nicely plumb and finished using the old school float and set technique.

Hi Blaine you are right about about 2 coats

[Rick-tbso]

Could you do the same thing with Joint Compound?

[pnxomni]

Hey, love the vids, been watching them for a while now!

I had a question that you might be able to help me with.

I’ve noticed that while rubbing my hand over my freshly plastered walls, there are patches that feel dusty/chalky as opposed to silky smooth. I can’t work out if it’s the timing or the amount of water. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Should call this channel"Plastering in Short Pants".

Really want to get into this trade but work full time currently and can't find anyone to take me on weekends, just looks so satisfying :D

[sSdirtymoneySs]

Great video mate, I've always taken tips from your vids.. Would have to disagree with your thinner second coat method.. Always found I got a much flatter finish with my 2nd coat being thicker, which can't be helped anyway if you put the 1st and 2nd coat on with the same mix.. Apart from that great video keep up the good work :)

[evanmunro]

Plastered my first wall yesterday thankfully it was at my own house, had a lot of misses in it that I couldn’t seem to loose and I’d already got rid of the gear, any advice as to how to not get those misses ?
