You are brilliant at your job mate vert informative and top quality I watch you and a few others on here I learnt to plaster through YouTube and it’s thanks to people like you putting the time and effort in to show us how it’s done great video again

There's not enough on floating and I've always found it tricky, great video as usual!

I float my walls using bonding with 10% multi finish in, never had any issues, been going 25 years, good video m8.

Thanks for the video. One of the best yet explaining each step. Much appreciated.

[traianus]

Very relaxed compared with all other plasterers I’ve seen. Most certainly you make your life a lot easier by doing so

[Danny-qlep]

I throw at straight edge diagonally over the wall aswell. Always find it helps get it spot on.

Ya forgot to mention the stink bomb smell as the hardwall is curing. Love hard walling. Sets real plasterers and skimmers( only onto board work) apart. Hardwall100% all the way. Good job mate.

Nicely done! Ignore the utube experts!

[JayGK]

Ive just done a wall today. Cement renderd. chipped of the top skim, SBR, then bonding coat. I actually used the refina spat as well!

Hi Alex, I've been plastering for years as a general builder, I probably do two days a month, so I class myself as an amateur, but I understand plasterers jargon.

A beginner will have no idea what you're talking about when you say you need to wait for it to "Pull in" or what to do when it's time to "close in".

A video decrypting plasterer's jargon may be helpful for the beginner.

In my humble opinion you have the best plastering channel on YT. Thanks for sharing

[darrenquarterman]

Just spotted your steps best on the market in my opinion there adjustable just bought couple pairs

Great vid, I’ve watched quite a few of your video’s really impressed. Very good at explaining the process. I’ve been plastering over 10 years now and I’ve picked up lots of great advice from your videos. Keep up the videos mate. If your ever in need of work I’m based in seaford and work from Eastbourne to brighton. Take it easy.

Great video Alex. Definitely a time a place for a sponge float. I know there are a lot of spreads who don't rate them but handy in cases like this and when the suction pulls it out of nowhere. Interested to try that New MT trowel and give it a crack myself 👍

[cryptorick]

I dont think iv ever seen such a simple wall made to look so difficult

[MarkHopewell]

Thank you for this helpful perspective. A couple of notes - not criticisms but concerns:-

1) Please take care of your back (less stooping and bending at the waist).
2) You're coughing and having to clear your airway quite a bit. I suspect you don't smoke but given your occupation, have you thought about a check up with your GP to review lung function or airway (bronchi) check?

26 years a drywall finisher, lately dabble with small plaster jobs. Start to think I know a thing or two, watch a video like this....realize I know nothing.

[TheAbbomk]

Really nice finish my friend. Great vid may I add, very informative

[stuartrudland]
