HOW TO SKIM COAT WALLS USING POLYCELL READY MIX SKIMMING PLASTER

It reminds me my grandmas walls inside her old village house. There is something rustic and comforting in the appearance of these walls. You are a great inspiration for anyone!

Put it on with a roller, use an ox speedskim to flatten it out, 2 coats required. I use Gyproc EasiFill 60 for a cheaper alternative but have to mix it yourself. Second coat should be mixed to a more watered down consistency.

I've never seen anyone skim a wall like this... For the best results you should prime the walls and then skim the walls using multi finish. Apply the plaster using a hawk and plastering trowel.

If I were you I would have replaced all the old skirting, and skimmed the the room with thistle multi finish. Depending on the state of the original plaster I would have been tempted to go back to brick and board the room with new plasterboard. At least it's done properly and will last years.

I am thinking of using this as an alternative to bringing in a plasterer to do my walls. Are you happy with the finish or did you have to put wallpaper liner on the walls. Also are you saying that you can get the stuff in powder form which will be a lot cheaper? Thanks

[stephaniegomes]

thanks for the video! I just bought it myself to fix some irregular walls... but mainly for the ceiling from which Ive removed woodchip paper 😏 I think ill lose my patience will need a bigger brush and tool 😅 but did u do the ceiling as well? Was it difficult? I was unsure of adding pva because it says to put direct on plaster so i guess we'll see! 😬

Hi. I'm sorry but the walss are still black isn't that still mould? If you spray it or even pure it over those areas leave it for a night or day and it will all disappear, then you just need to rinse it off or wiped down with damp clothes and leave it to dry.

Good on you having ago and plastering ain't an easy job especially for a diyer...this product is good if you want to cover some old artex or a small area that needs just abit of tlc as the point of this stuff is for the hone diyer to do small things as stated...always use some pva first though...I used it on an area about 3x4 by 8 foor high and no issues...but if you got damp ect you should check external issues first or just get a trade to skim and treat properly...just an opinion but good on you having ago.

Can this be used directly onto plaster walls? We had some wooden panelling that was glued to the walls. We’ve pulled it off and it’s removed the paint layers down to the plaster. I’m assuming this will work with filling the gaps again but can I go straight on or will I need to do a white wash first?

[ajmal]

As I have a number of walls to do which bag skimming plaster would you buy and could I apply it with a roller and rubber edge skimming blade, thanks

[pinkyx]

Would this be any good for anaglipta plaster, raised plaster affect which is terrible, would this work

[richardstrangward]

Looks great and I’m about to try it myself. You said about using bagged plaster as a cheaper alternative. Would you still use a brush to apply and what consistency would you us?

[millionglobal]

Did you have to mix the tub with water because its quite thick to apply??

[petergalloway]

I am a 77 year old retired plasterer all l can say is what a load of time wasting nonsense

[gregc]

4 feet and a smug pic of Danny Devito suddenly appears LOL🤣

[savage_seungminie]

Omg and I don’t mean omg in a positive way.

[Askme_gas]

You done it wrong it's a plaster not painting, multi finish is what you use

[slashingbison]

Yeah ive never seen plastering like this but hey it worked, just get a plaster pre made mix, trowel and hawk as its a million times easier

dilate pva glue the area then apply the plaster, once dry wet the trowel and skim over to smooth it out.
