How to plaster an outside wall

Plastering an external wall using sand and cement. Showing how to plaster or render an outside wall in a step by step guide. All of the topics are covered such as laying on the render scratch coat, applying the top coat render, using a straight edge to get it flat and floating the wall smooth. I hope this video helps others when they are looking at rendering a wall!

I dont understand all the negative comments about lack of speed. If im paying for a rendering job the price will have been agreed beforehand, so it wont matter how long it takes. The only important thing is that the job is done right. No one is ever going to remember how long the job took in years to come but if the job is poorly done it will always be obvious. Great video.

Tell you the truth I kinda admire your enthusiasm, I am a plasterer I'm 39, my dad my all my uncles ware and are plasterers, I started going with my dad when was 11, put up my first trowelful when was 13, one mistake your makeing really, the blocks made nowadays aren't full of holes and rough as fk like I first seen, these walls should be studded, they look very non porus, as in very smooth, weather it's boundary walls of house I always scud, 2:1 sand cement no water proofing or plasticiser, then your base and finish, this was okay 20 years ago but the way blocks have gone, you need to scud, just my oppinion as a real tradesman, but fair play to you, nice

Very nice, I usually like to rule off the scratch coat too, makes top coat easier, (for me) looks as if you got it nice and flat anyway, agree with you everyone does things differently in the trade. Great video.

Very good and I like the no panic easy going attitude 👏🎥👍

Thank you for so understable and clear tutorial video! Great work!

Looked really good finish and interesting to hear others views. I agree everyone has different ways. I always work right to left when rendering or undercoat plastering and left to right when applying finish. I would say you are rendering the wall as using a sand n cement mortar. Not outside plastering. Great job and hope others learnt from you sharing your way of rendering a wall. 👍

Lee Casper I agree 12.5 is ample. Also you should never let your scratch comb touch the brick or block behind as the whole idea to to not only create a key for the top coat but to give you even suction especially when on old bricks or walls consisting of all sorts. Good video though.

You make it look so easy, a mate let me try it once..I think I did a good job of plastering the floor 😅

[khanos]

very useful video, thanks for sharing mate

Good finish m8, never known anyone to put thick scratch coat on and rule it though especially on good wall, not necessary but each to own also we go 3/1scratch and 4/1 topcoat but like I said very job 👍

Right to left if your a right hander only left to right when your skimming.

Best and most to the point video I've seen online and I've watched a shit load

[Topchip]

Good video mate, not 20 mins of bollox and product placement . Good job

[jerrymoore]

Great job Sam, very well explained, can't see why left to right or right to left makes difference? you can either do it or you can't!!

[AyiviTV]

Very nice👍🏼 Please, for concrete wall plastering, how many square meters of surface area will a 50kg bag of cement cover on average (outside and inside)?

[ephorntube]

Nice job and thanks, I’ll try the right to left approached mentioned below as I’m a righty.

[declangreen]

Is it critical to do 2 coats? I'm going to do my concrete block planters in my garden, will I get away with 1 coat?

[antonceta]

Excellent job thanks for the video it did help
