Skimming a Wall

[xhibits1]

Fastest I've ever seen, if his paid hourly your laughing, won't cost much to have the whole house done lol

[tygrr22]

@barno don't worry about all the haters..there is always some ahole who says he can do it better..techniques vary from person to place as well as the job sometimes. i have been doing this stuff for years and the haters just spend to much time hating and not working. @peedut-this isnt europe and we dont work for pounds or peanuts, but i agree, stick together the quality of our workmanship will show through after that european has left

[fuckilluminatiscum]

barno your rapid can i have a job PLEASE

[green1gecko]

Moving like a guy that gets paid by the square foot.

There seem to be two schools of this. Middle first, top second, bottom last. And this guy's technique, top first, middle and bottom second. Maybe based on the height of the wall and weather the top requires stilts?

[davygky542]

@barno1966 What are you using as mud?

I don't know what it is and i don't think we use it in belgium.

U bring on 2 layers and than you finish it with a trowel and a little bit of water?

[jayf123]

haha look at the state of the wall he has got his back to at the start of the video . ruff as a bears arse mate

[jholdsworth93]

Fast but... how did he get it in his hair ?lol

[barno1966]

@jholdsworth93 I done the ceiling about an hour before ,, and unfortunatley some times ,it gets in your hair ,,thats why im losing it slowly lol

[jholdsworth93]

@barno1966 Haha fair enough , better than getting it in your face!

[hunnijaan]

THIS GUY IS FAST OMG!!! Never seen anything like it YOU GUYS HAVE A NUMBER???

[Nappyrass]

This man is a machine......

[Techozek]

Good plasterers plaster straight to the floor.

This guy didn't.

[terry4144]

@Techozek if you go to the bottom theres a good chance of dragging grit up the wall

[210482fmj]

whats the difference with rough walls that have wall paper covering them and smooth skimmed walls? what has usually been applied to walls that are not smooth underneath and have lining paper and wall paper. I hate wall paper its horrible stuff and causes mould and smells musty, nothing but trouble.

[monkey1989ify]

well i think the guy i spot on

[SuperLdennis]

Very quick and professional really good video, looking at DIY plaster job but after watching this might have to recoconsider, haha

[67tr876]

Why do you need to do this to a wall ? why cant you just paint it ! wast of time to put mud on drywall just paint it !

[MrJakeb4]

@67tr876 well the plasterboars either needs to be taped and jointed or fully plastered as if you painted it as it was the joins would show through and it gives the wall an extra layer it kind of insulates the plasterboard

[Harles74]

Amazing skill! Congratulations!

[thanxx]

those that 'can' 'do' those that 'cant' come on the internet and talk about it.

This blokes a true pro,old school.This is how you do it FULL STOP!

[MultiSpread]

This guy is a real pro you can tell. As fo the comments about he's doing it wrong, please. This guy is a credit to the trade. Like he said if we stuck together more we wouldnt have all this foregn labour over here pretending they can plaster by flicking loads of water on walls and sanding. The secret in this games not what you do but what you dont do. brilliant.

[dagmar747]

Fucking slow or what ?

[atown327]

ever heard of joint tape ? so much easier then fuking round with this shit

[spencer19811]

He couldn't have done it without that guy in the cap!

[freqeist]

what's the best plaster for this process (U.K.)

[barno1966]

ty

[MrJakeb4]

@barno1966 and i didnt say it in my last comment mate but well done, nice job im just learning myself at the moment im an apprentice but ive seen it been put on by many plasterers and your as quick as they come

[barno1966]

The comments on here have a fantastic read and a really good giggle ,,but I only put the video on so people could see it being applied to the wall . As for all this "one coat " comments ,,ther was another coat applied and trowelled up in the proper manner ,,,it was then painted by the decorator ,, then best of all payed for by the client ...

So all the comments about ""I could do this better I could do that better ,,hes not not doing this right ,hes not doing that right "" give us a break

[MrJakeb4]

@barno1966 i agree plastering is not about competition, some and yes there is always going to be someone faster than you but just to be able to apply plaster to the wall is a skill which takes ages to ;earn in its self its not all about the race

[barno1966]

Yes we paint the walls ,,,As for singing im on X FACTOR next week ,,,lol

[TheDrywallogist]

do you paint after your done or is that "color coat" so as no need to paint? no offense but you shouldn't sing for a living. lol

[PESTAAKAPEZ]

lol wheres heart fm????

[MegaPlasterer]

plaster is too stiff man

[james00021]

Try using an 18" or 20 inch trowel m8. U'd av it on twice as quick then dude.

[runescape3174]

most plastering videos i watch they always have comments saying there better but then they have no videos to prove it....

by the way i think this is good work and although i havnt even started plastering in collage yet i probly wont be able to do it that good for years :L

[rick9565]

They don't show the second part when the INS agents raid the work site, and the guy doing the skim runs out the back...

[dealartist]

for a decent job he would have to visit those walls at least 5-6 more times.. He's only thrown on the 1st coat!!! nice to see a bit of plastering though..

[ms381]

Bloody hell, not only was Eric Cantona one of the greatest footballers ever, he can also do a bit of plastering! Legend

[peedutt]

There you again, I can plaster better than you, faster than you, earn more money than you etc, and while you're all stabbing each other in the fucking back an eastern european has come in and done it for £50 a day. Wise up guys, a bit of sticking together and supporting each other and the building trade would'nt be on its knees and full of cheap fucking labour from abroad.

[85schranzboy]

i hate cables when do skimm :)

[gregvancom]

Man does he make it look easy

[ririshow]

Question: how come that in the uk plaster is brown colour whereas everywhere else it is white? Is it the result of any additives?

[Paintheshed]

@ririshow the plaster is made from British Gypsum a natural mineral mixed with chalk, lime and other materials. The colour is common in the UK as we only have a few commercial manufacturer's and "British Gypsum" are the most common.

The materials used in other countries will pertain to natural minerals found in each geographical area.

[ririshow]

@Paintheshed

thanks for yr explanation. That stuff looks so elastic that there must be a lot of addditives ti it.

[Paintheshed]

@ririshow there's a chemical reaction whereby powdered particles flocculate or clump together, the water must be clean drinkable water. It's not really very elastic but quite brittle but quite still once placed and not strechy. It's a magic material to work with, very satisfying.

[HiBricolage1]

Muito bom. Excelente profissional.

[bluehorse888]

holy crap this guy makes it look easy. I can tell you having been a painter for 10 years and occasionally doing some mudding this is NOT EASY

[claymoreman90]

Note how he starts off ok, but quickly fades to a snails pace. Obviously not accustomed to hard work , This guy wouldnt last a day with a term of pro's...also it looks like he mixed a batch with his head...someone should fell him with a shovel and use him for a hop up.

[jrichardson6]

@claymoreman90 haha that is builders humour!

[milou82b]

Je ne vois pas pourquoi vous platrez le placo.Mais bon vous avez n bon coup de "trowel" quand même.

[gina312]

Damn he's good:)

[newcomer9747]

wow you look like a pro doing it

[bradplasterer]

hes a fucking cow boy ive done loads of reskims in county durham after he and his muppets have been in and the mess he leaves is a discrace i know of at least 4 people that have called on me to put his work right !!! hes been on a course im sure

[holywar911]

nice.....i dont do to much plaster....so i need to parctice.

[terry4144]

you need a taller spot board you will get back ache!

[strawdog1234567]

The guy is fucking brill at this. Try it yourself and you would balls it up.

[doubledown187]

dude, that's awesome - wish I could do it just like you. Could watch you do that for hours - very soothing :)

[sciamutanna]

E questa porcheria voi la chiamate rasatura? Sono davvero senza parole, se volete vedere come si rasa per davvero venite a farvi un giro sui miei cantieri!

[mulletman158]

damn, you make that look easy, but it's not! Best voice over too

[petefromearth]

great skills

shame about the singing!

[mattywebster89]

first video ive seen who actually looks lyk they know wat they are doin

[zgele77]

Love your work champ

thanks for the clip

cheers

[alfdoleboy]

A good greener in the plaster makes it set smoother,thats been a trade secret for years also if your doing a ceiling put the plaster on then rub a balloon on your head for 52 minutes and the static makes the plaster level.

[Amicib]

mammareddra mia cumu lavuranu mali....

[justinwinter1983]

not bad effort mate i think i could put on quicker and neater

[mastablastaman]

he's good but he's not British.....6 minutes 39 seconds and no cuppa

[mariomario49]

very slow! TWAT!!!

[fkmetiff]

Fantastic and yes I'm gonna learn how to skim my walls. Rather that than pay someone else. I have several rooms to do but I can see the magic is in the mix, the rest is learned through repetition and drive for quality finish

[LIVEsportsNOW]

Good video. I'm going to attempt to skim my kitchen wall.

[mrsparky786]

Really, Really fast, just feel sorry for the labourer who has to keep mixing.

[mrsparky786]

WOW! this is really fast skimming, i would love to learn the art of plastering.

[beanyzxr]

good trowel technique there mate

[stilln68la]

good spread,home in time for tea and cakes.

[mikevern69]

no matter how hard you try you always hit the cables, even if theyre in th middle of a wall....

[jrgniuwer]

this guys pretty fast but im much faster ; )

[michaelsplastering]

It's funny how these guys load their hawk by putting it under the mortar board . You wouldn't want to do that with lime and gauging , splat you'll go blind his tender is going to have a hell of a time keeping up

[jrgniuwer]

i know i where a bag pack with a bag of multi pre mixed inside that has a digital pump and hose attached to my arm leading to my hawk ,when the specially adapted hawk runs low it send a signal to the pump and loads me back up it cost me £1500 but i shouldnt be telling you guys this its really new out its being tested in japan now but i got one throught a supplier man i can do twice as much in a day but still need labourer because he fills back pack up wilst im eating sandwitch : )

[catscarer]

any ideas on what to do with walls thick with artex????

[jrgniuwer]

2x coats of multi finish, same for ceilings but if stipple pattern or similer scrap over with trowl first then PVA then skim that badboy ; )

[catscarer]

yeay did it ceiling is sort of ok give myself 8/10 and my walls 9/10. really good to use finishing plasterbut it did syart to set in bucket taking to long to do 2 walls but added some water and it seems ok.. got lovely finish on the final polish.only prob is that on the final buff i have some tiny low spots looks like paint flak. , guesst sand out or maybe the emulsion will fill yep that will be ok. thanks .

[catscarer]

just found out about beading why didnt anyone say about beading. had hell of time going aroung attic hatch.also i had small amount remaining it was starting to set so i added water and used to get final polish and buger me it dident set poroperly like dry toothpast luckly just very small area, looks pretty god dame good though . going to fit 150 watt bulb to hide the shadows lol . just joking.

[eldodgerino]

@jrgniuwer For Artex - scrape back high spots then use a bonding agent - Blue Grit, Bond-it or Wickes Plaster Bonding Agent. PVA can be a bit of a lottery

[terry4144]

you need a taller spot board

[grinderbike]

I have to say this. He brings new meaning to "blue collar worker". (heehee) hope this vid was from the 80's. Oh yes also he might think of quitting his job, and going on the road with his singing.

[janjorgeable]

mate if it was me i'd of put the hole room on u lazy c##t

[Gresh2fresh]

nice work, i mite have stuck all the reveals on tho, just gets them out the way.

[ash3rli3]

hes makin hard work of that getin no ware fast longer swoops mate.

[ririshow]

I've always been intrigued as to why in the uk, your plaster is brown as opposed to white. Are you guys pouring a pint of bitter in it?

[Gresh2fresh]

its where the gypsum comes from, in england its either brown/pink or grey, depending when it comes from in the country, in europe the gypsum tends 2 be white.

[hattersley9181]

i no shit about platering, but he seems to no what he's doing and it's giving me the idea of skiming my walls today.should be fun.lol

[knocknagreebitch]

this man has'nt a clue about plastering. the ceiling is still wet. he should be rubbing that instead of putting on more and you double coat everthing when your skimmin. his singing is better than his plastering which says alot

[C41RNSY]

plasterer for 28 years ,its 2 hour set on finish and he hasn't closed it in yet(means applied second coat of finish) ,as it needs 2 coats of finish to be done properly , what i will say what a fookin lazy arsed labourer hes got the wanker should be cleaning up and if half a brain should be learining the trade by putting a cupboard on the lazy arsed prick!

[Jagdtoq]

You're doing a grand job there mister

[emoboyjb]

Ive been in the building trade for over 20 years and that boy can plaster. Which I was as fast

[calmtam]

nice 2 watch pal, u keep doin ur thing and let these gangbang 4 gluesniffers claim 2 b this n that.

[padraigkilkenny13]

That Room is fooking Narrow?

[brendanwalllis]

shit hot bach...

[KidSaturdays]

Typical council workers, 1 bloke working and 3 bloke's watching ;)

[NubCcake]

All these haters, uh. If you're slow, you're slow. If you're fast you're fast, who cares? If you're gettin' the job done then thats the main thing, tbhz. Jus' sayin.

[gforse123]

That is a time served spread, unless you're using two trowels and one on your old fella at the same time you can't slate him,people say I'd do the whole in that time, yeah and I'd do the room and a hallway too :D

[hackmidbillabong]

ive gotta say this bloke is very shit,he is like a headless chicken.dont give up your day job mate.

[daftorange]

thats alright all of these cunts that have left comments sayin ill do that whole room in 5 minutes chat shit i wana see them post a video doin it dickheads

[senorjorgegonzales]

omg singing is a 12 year apprenticeship. no one should attempt it, leave it to the professionals. I would have sung 3 double albums in the time it took you to do that one song. I'm sick to the bones.

[2x4tube]

@senorjorgegonzales I bet he make more in a day plastering than you do in a month singing! Let the fella sing!!! He is a damn good tradesman..  Since when was singing only for a select few?

[freqeist]

@senorjorgegonzales i have been plastering three years, this is achievable in that time frame, having said that this is good.

[jonn8ball]

i normaly put the full room on at a time ,not just 1 wall,got to have two coats to, learn that lad to put first coat on with ya be alot quicker

[pecker300]

yeah yeah whatever

[tezjoe1]

i'm not bein big headed but that romm should be done in the time its took ya to do 1 wall.... its over nice new plasterboard... get your ass in gear or your sacked

[dogmess100]

I have been plastering for 21 years so I know you are talking shite. if you could plaster a room every six minutes you would either be dead in a week or out of work waiting for more houses to be built

He was about the right speed for a decent plasterer on pricework. Some of the comments on here remind me of monty python's four yorkshire men.

[newcomer9747]

@dogmess100 are you responding to the haters?

[barrmand]

that man would be all day throwing on a room, roughness.

[Uazdan]

next dei,it kam aut

[donalAFC08]

good plastering but leave the singing to the singers

[lollmees]

so good it hurts to see - a real kung fu master!

[brettwill87]

looking at the window sill is the same as me with the scrim snipps cut of beads and tea cups thats all i ever have on the window sills

[rafawillcox]

sweet vid but ya reveals aint guna be straight, their gunna be bbbbbumpy ta fuck!! go along the bead!!

[ash3rli3]

[mrrougey]
