[gazdavies]

Brilliant mate. I've never changed my methods since I started following you and watching your videos, the blue print helped me massively!! Always get good results and just getting better and faster everyday. Keep up the hard work and keep the videos coming. Oh and enjoy the holiday 🙂

[laazt]

Hey, great video! What's the time between having applied the first coat and flattening it the first time? Also, should you wait for the first coat to dry up before adding the second coat?

[MrIkeybear]

Yes Blaine. Thank you for these videos. It has given me loads of confidence to have a go 👍

[warriorlove]

You're probably the best dude who teaches people properly!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤪🦁

[AMGINE]

Great video, I had a go at plastering for first time today after watching your videos all week, messed up on my mixes but did turn out not to bad :) so thanks your channel helps

[MarcusT]

Fantastic video Blaine. Really helped me see where I've been going wrong with my practising.

Due you apply anything to the plaster board before you start, and what type of plaster would you use for a beginner for first and second coats, also what would you tape, fill any gaps before plastering, thank you Mike

[gavinfitton]

Many thanks for this demonstration, really useful! Do you know what the timings are between each stage? I know some timing are based on the temperature and humidity but on average how do I know the plaster is right to move to the next stage? Keep up the great work!

Hi all
I love watching this guy, he’s helped me a lot….manages to dumb it down, even for me 😁
I have a question….I have watched plasterers, & Mr Gray here. When applying your plaster, or flattening off, I notice you sweep back & too with your trowel. Do you lift off, when coming back, or just tilt the trowel?
I have tried tilting, & I end up getting stuck to the wall…maybe it’s just my technique, so I lift off, & things don’t seem to flow nicely.

Thanks in advance

[witneydiggersrc]

Informative video. If a timer was shown from time to time it would help to understand the timings between the various stages 🤔

[chchedda]

Two things -
1. What trowel you using for putting one ( 1st 2 coats )
2. What is the best light you use. Used a few in my time some crap some good.

Great video pal

[MarcusT]

Oh wow looking forward to this one Blaine!

[khansk]

Thanks for sharing allways helpful appreciated

[dfeltoon]

Fantastic video as always! Love watching them and a great top up with the blueprint as your guide. Quick question through; how do the timings look when adding in the speedskim, as the blueprint doesn’t include the use of it? Thanks again!

Masha Allah. It’s means that you don’t get a bad eye 👁. Maya friend you’re doing great job Helping people. In there work we call this a charity. Charity doesn’t mean that you give money to other people. Helping other people in Islam is a charity to I all way Watch your videos and learned Form you thank you 🙏🏽 I hope you don’t mind I have used some Islamic Word. Thank you

[mrwright]

When I learned to plaster it was just marshalltown trowels for the job. I've bought myself a spat and a plaziflex to have a play with next time I have to do some skimming.
