I was once told by an old plasterer that the plaster wasnt dry until you could strike a match on it!

These experts make it look so easy! Great work

[samdanico]

Thank you for showing the product. I often can't tell what products to use from the minimal description written on the bag

[abcdbdkdka]

i’ve been plastering last 4 years and have sort of mastered general skimming but what makes you decide between hardwalling and dotting?

[steveh]

Never used that stuff, used to use bonding coat for thick repairs, doing a whole wall like that was way out of my skillset. Good job.

[johnclowes]

Great job as always.
One question. Is it best to have a mirror smooth finish like I see here or not. Just worrying about paint absorption.
I think it best if Emulsion sinks into plaster and not lay on top. I know painters usually seal the plaster with either sealer of thinned down paint first.
Alls this is is questions mainly for painters. What they find is the best plaster finish.
That could then be passed on to plasterers.👍

And in 15 years a new owner will tear all the plaster off so as to expose the brick work.

You make it look so easy 😂 Thank you for your help, I hope my bathroom comes out like your wall!!

Watching from the US. Totally foreign to me. It's all drywall near me. Cool to see.

[tenaciouslee]

Good job, but also I quite like the bare brick 😂👍🏼

[MarcGray]

Lovely and solid after that I bet… my house has quite a lot of solid plaster done a few years ago. Other areas were borded but done right this method takes some beating in my opinion! Tough as nails afterwards

What determines whether you use plasterboard or hardwall?

[joekent]

Top quality work there my friend 👏 👌 👍

[DirigiblePlum]

Do you need to key it??? Does it help with suction or something?

[evertonmartins]

Hi buddy, I did skimcoat on a wall but is not great, after it drying how Can I apply another layer to make it good? Thanks

[liamobrian]

How is hard wall on old out side walls damp ect

[Brick_dont_hit_back]

How did you prime this painted bricks ?? Sbr ? Pva? Shouldn't be grit ?

[mickrhodes-jipk]

Mixed on plenty off plasters back in the day first coat was grey thistle mixed in a tin bath with a rake applied then skim to finish

Where can I get a speed skim. How much do they cost.
