Very Few Plasterers Know About This Hack For Ceilings!

[DeollyMuzenda]

I watched your previous videos on plastering and did a fairly good job on my first attempt. God bless your soul

top work mate.. .. the hallmark of a true master is when he makes his craft look easy...

'Take a little bit, and go in neat' made such an improvement to my edges.

I do my own plastering but I`m not a pro. Love these videos. My plastering always comes out well but I wouldn`t make money doing it as I`m too slow, daren`t bang several walls on at once .I had a large ceiling to do, a bit big really for my skill level but i went for it. One of the hardest days graft in my life, it was nearly going off between each coat before i could level it, especially where the breeze was coming in through the door. The 1st coat had some really dry patches! Before I second coated it. I just lightly sprayed them with water and second coated. I was pretty sure it was gonna de laminate and drop off but it never did (5years ago) .Talk about a hard days graft! My elbow was battering and did for a couple of years after with a bit of a bone spur popping up, all from one ceiling.
Plasterers earn their money!

Always satisfying to see a proper craftsman work his magic. Kudos!

That texture, with the SBR in the lighting at 1:19 looks pretty badass

I’ll never attempt to plaster myself, but it’s so therapeutic watching a skilled tradesmen at work ❤

[BASECAMPMASK]

Kirk, your professional craftsmanship is both fascinating and informative. Love your sense of humor! 👍

I love plastering, lost a ceiling the other day and was gutted.
Wonderful to see a master at work.

[djnappa]

Your videos are amazing mate. I’ve learned so much from you. Keep them coming. Good work

Any beginners or amateurs watching this video, when kirk says " take a bit a go in clean" is the best bit of advice for edges and corners, this will save time in the long run by you not having to run around like a lunatic cleaning up the coving or edges. But don't be wiping plaster on your shirt or you will be in the back of the van!!!! Use your brush to take the little boulders of your trowel and get rid of them into the water bucket. And we all drop a little bit here and there, the key is to not walk it all over the place

Another great and applicable instructional video, loaded with great insights and tips. Hail the Tony Bellew of plastering 🥊

Nice work.

I'm a plasterer and iv started putting a tight coat of bonding over artex ceilings and skimming the next day. I always find if I prep and skim the same day I'm waiting till a week on Tuesday until its dry enough to final trowel... it also takes out alot of the hollows that are always there in old ceilings

[JohnTheJoiner]

These videos are great, I've been patching plaster around windows I've fitted and where repairs are needed for forty years but never done a whole ceiling area with satisfaction. In an old cottage with a wonky ceiling is it possible to get a smooth plaster finish that is not flat?

[TOBLEROWAN]

I went on one of those corses but learnt more watching this channel

[genericuser]

Kirk can you tell what makes your product better than the say silkabond sbr+ and how long you left your product before plastering

[voodoocars]

Jolly good. I do over artex all the time and never had a failure. My method is to scrape all the high spots off, 50/50 PVA mix 2 coats. 1st coat is a zombie mix followed by 2nd coat pure multi. I haven’t tried sbr yet tho.

[zameersuleman]

I’ve actually need to do this but not confident enough just yet
