Thought u needed solid dabs on window reveals 1 for drafts 2 for fixing beads ?

[arronnorton]

Excellent info got 2 bed flat to do from scratch never done dot dab or plastering before great info

You could attach a smaller fat max level to the straight edge saves time with double handing the straight edge and level back and forth 👍🏻

Fantastic video buddy. Really learned some extra tips in this one! Looking forward to the next in the series.

Cracking video pal. Keep it up. Would love to see how you use the dewalt dri wall cutter. Had some mixed times with it 😂

Always have your dab like a cornish pasty, not like pancakes, and use the full width of the trowel not the end, also solid dabs on the reveals so you can knock a bead on, nowt worse skimming behind someone who doesn't do that

Can you do a review of insta stick? Fixing plasterboards to walls with just foam? Would be good to see the pros and cons and if it’s better than adhesive.

[sajhussain]

Quick question pal...wheh you stuck those boards to the wall...i could see tiny gap at the top against the cieling ...is that normal and do i not need to fill it ?

[bloggs]

rubber mallet is handy for tapping the straight edge aswell

[peterphillips]

Hi Alex...thanks for the video...when is the third one in the series coming out please?

[geoffwhitehead]

Newbe question! You said you cut the reveals at 220mm, would I be right in thinking that means the biggest measurement was 200mm?

[Magnetar]

Can I dot and dab on painted, smooth walls and on walls that have old wallpaper?

[uncensored]

So where you were short on packing the first board, it left you short from the ceiling. What do you do about that? A sliver of board or bonding/hardwall?

[lewisriggs]

How do u deal with wooden nogins sunder window board and if there is gap what would u fil it with do u scrim of the wood or is there another thing todo

[Jimduggon]

Hi, I have dot and dab the party wall in my house between the neighbours and it seems to of helped slightly with sound but I hear it’s a bad idea for noise, we have a Victorian house we are thinking of removing the dab, any thoughts in your opinion? Thanks

[mattya]

hi alex, could you explain why you cut the board down after it goes off and not cut it to size when you fix it (kitchen). p.s. lose the beard its aging you LOL.

Hi mate, what do you do round metal socket boxes?
