I have no intention of plastering a wall but that was satisfying af

Will I ever plaster a wall in my life? Probably not, but this was immensely educational and quite enjoyable so you've done a good job here

This is the best advert I've ever seen for hiring a plasterer...

I was wondering why I hadn't seen Dynamo on my screen in such long time...
looks like he's changed professions to become a Plastering Magician!

Had to come to show my appreciation for this work. I've done some house work here and there involving drywall and mudding (I know, not the same). It definitely takes a talented person to do this sort of stuff well. Good job and thanks for the video!

All Wet Fresh Plastered Walls look great UNTIL apply coat of paint & natural light hits surface I'm a Decorator Plasterers frustrate hell out of me Not many who 2 coat esp around sockets is shocking A quick de-knib & paint NO SANDING NO SKIMMING, FILLING NO CLEANING PLASTER FROM FACINGS, SKIRTINGS NO CAULKING CEILING OR INT CORNERS Things that cost my trade time, material, additional visits Cut & Roll or Size, Hang Wallpaper . Out of all Trades very difficult find good Plasterer & I'm sure bloke made video would agree !

Awesome video. Loved the editing and the music - Could tell a lot of work went into it. If I ever plaster a wall, I'll make sure I watch this a few times first. Keep it up!

This video really helped me with a reskimming job on one of my walls at home - thank you for such a clear breakdown of the steps and the techniques. It came out alright in the end, even though it was only my first go. My level of respect for good plasterers has gone up immensely since trying it. I thought it was a difficult art before, but now I know it is. You're clearly a master. Respect.

Ty for the insane step by step without skipping instructions or sudden jumping to product then slapping it on without explanation of what you’re using. Ty for being you.

Great video. I think I will try it. Years ago I was doing dry finishing plastering in Poland (I was maybe 16). One or two coats of gypsum plaster/filler on whole surface of the wall and when dry you have to sand it. Very dusty but easy. When I moved to Ireland I was surprised that you can do it wet only.
Thanks

This video convinced me that should I ever need a wall plastered, I will surely pay a pro to do it. I've seen really shitty plaster on walls before, and it looks dreadful. This looked really awesome.
