HOW TO PLASTER A WALL *Detailed*

If you want to get an introduction to plastering a wall to a decent plaster finish, then you’ve come to the right place.

I’ve tried to go into a decent amount of detail to give you a quick crash course in plastering.
Obviously, you’re not going to be able to plaster perfectly after watching this, so I’d suggest going on actual plastering courses and getting hands-on if you want to get better at it!

Extra points if you count how many times I said “so” or “basically” 😅

I’m always after feedback to make better videos so feel free to leave a like and suggest anything you’d like to see.

Enjoy!

You don't simply show and describe ''How'', but you explain (which is most important) ''WHY'' ! An Excellent Video and probably the best I've watched so far . Bravo ! Greetings from Hellas (Greece) .

Wiping your trowel on the first trowel makes a massive difference after passing over the surface its improved my finish 👍👍👍👍cheers again

By far the best plastering video on YouTube. All the rest miss out vital tuition unlike this one. Nice one

Great video! You don't need to wait between 1st and 2nd layers of plaster?

Very nice job! And I see you use a 'modeling' floodlight to throw light sideways across the wall, it's great for seeing how straight the wall surface is, & shows-up plaster bumps & lumps! I'm a joiner, & I use it for certain things on site.

One of the best detailed plastering videos I’ve seen. Thank you, it’s a great help. I have been told that the plastiflex trowel is good for the final flat, have you tried it and what do you think as opposed to a steel trowel? Regards, Peter

I use a belt sander to clean my hawk comes up like new in 10 minutes. Great video.

Very detailed, best I've seen 👌🏻👍🏻

[hectorheath]

Very well explained. When applying the second coat isn't it difficult to judge areas you might have missed?

[granthollinger]

Your bucket trowel has had its own apprenticeship

[joey]

😂 been doing it years ? Where’s the mega mixer lad

[jasonrichardson]

Where did you purchase your hawk from ?

[petersparshot]

Cool video bro. Its help me plaster my wall

[HSilver]

Great vid plenty of detailed info top job

Great video, very well explained. Quick question please. I plaster boarded my kitchen ceiling about 8 months ago, can I still plaster straight onto it, or would it be better to PVA it ?.

[Lloydwoodk]

What size trowels do you use mate? Very tidy work

[davepangolin]

The trouble is by the time you’ve bought £250 worth of equipment… realise the ceiling needs doing first and then getting yourself up to neck in mess … it’ll cost twice as much to get a plasterer in. Who can do a large room in 2 days for £500

[Lloydwoodk]

Do you open your trowel more as the gauge goes on or keep the same angle throughout?

[juliofajardo]

I did some ceiling and after painting looks with a lot of waves why should this be?
