Thank you for a great helpful video. As a hanyman intending to do a wall of about 100 metres square you have given me some fine tips. I appreciate you taking the time to post this video.
I love how all of these "experts" are criticizing this video. Why would someone post yet another video showing a conventional way to do this? Who would want or need to watch that? This guy never said his method is the fastest or neatest but it is different and interesting. The end product is also solid.
This is BONKERS ! Never seen anything remotely like this technique but what a cracking little film ! You need your own nutty building advice TV show ! Call it "Off the wall" ? I'd watch it !
LOL! Helpful, but I kept thinking, "stuff? what stuff are you talking about?" Then he picked up the board and said "using the staff" and I burst into laughter realizing what he'd been saying the whole time.
old walls are supposed to breath and would have been traditionally had a lime based render. By rendering in a non porous cement render you are trapping in moisture that will be drawn from below the ground that can't escape. It may not be as bad in hot climates but in the UK can and will be harmful to any wall.
I tried this and got carried away. I started throwing the cement everywhere. Up in the sky, over the top of the wall. All over cars and people's washing hanging on their line. I put very little on the wall
That was really helpful as i've just spend this afternoon not quite doing what you did! I'm a first time plasterer (!) and threw on the cement with a trowel, so i'm pleased you said not to worry about the cement which falls on the floor. I didn't make my cement too thick though and now I'm letting it dry so will see what it's like tomorrow. Do you have a video on the second day where you put on the final coat?

I fancy giving this method a try some time. Is that an actual builders tool in that region or just a small pan? I had a Romanian labouring for me the other day. He described a tool that sounded like a small pan for holding mortar in.
Here in Spain we don't use a plasters hawk but we use a bucket trowel to load the steel float instead. It took some getting used to but "when in Rome..."
Regardless of the negative comments ...the job came up well . Interesting technique, where did you learn to do it like that & does it improve your Ten Pin Bowling skills ?
i mix i bucket of cement with 3 bucket os sand and i throw it like what you do but with the throwel and he stick and when i take my wood to level it all of it fall down !! tell me why this happen
Nice one Palm olive. I learned something. I remember British plasterers used to explain how they did plastering in the U.K I have a feathering straight edge I used on two coat sand finish render ( or on very wet work). And sometimes to screed set plaster. I notice you screed well holding the screed at a 90 degree angle to the work. Most plasterers here use t bar straight edges but I think the box rule is better as they don't flex so you don't have bent walls. The mortar has very coarse material.
hmmm...this was quite useful. I think I plastered my wall in an un-traditional fashion. Perhaps I need to redo my tutorial since I ended up getting all wet.
Hmm, why is it neccesary to throw it lol, looks like your making panncakes or smth haha. I have this huge whole in the wall that I tried to cover with not cement but how do you say in english.. that paste kind of thing, not as strong as cement but for fine tuningm finishing later with sandpaper... anyway but that onto the wall and i donno.. will it hold? I could just nicen the hole but I think it needs cement.. thing is ive never ever built anything from cement. I know how to make it but apply.
how long do you need to wait until it is safe for rain to get on your newly rendered wall? (in our case, we rendered in the morning, and it started raining in the evening, will we notice the damage straight away, or could it affect it in the future?)
if your render is on the ground and it rains in the evening on a hot snny day there will be no damage it would help to slow the rying process down and stop any cracking but if it is a cold day you could be left with and orange peal effect, hope the rain does not come down to hard
that is not how to render a wall,that is having a go at rendering a wall,your half way there,but you aint scratch coated it,theres no waterproofer or feb mix and you havent got a hwk or trowel at least try and put it up the wall with the float ,you might aswell have thrown it at the wall with the shovel
hi buddy yes you are correct for any other people who are watching febmix is a great idea depending on the climate of the country you do the job in, these video clips are never perfect or application differs with countries and climate as i am sure you know working in the trade, i am showing how it is done in the country am working in here
I would have used lime its called Varr here, but I did not have the funds to buy any, but as for the future cracking that is a good point for future watchers thank you
hi wondered if anyone can help.i got a small wall to render im using 3 sand 1 cement with waterproofer applying it was fine but the finish the cement turned to dust and cracked?.... any suggestions plz
jock is dead on buddy, mke sure you apply the pressure, every plaster has there own style of rendering, but its all bout the delivery, try addin some bycole and if that dont work, put in some washin up liquid,
great video........... always neat to see how there are different ways of doing things in this trade....... in trade for 25 years........ not always how its done its what it looks like when it finished !! we all have our nitch..... would like to see your finish coat......
can you tell me how i go about re rending my wall ?i just bought a house and they did a shit job on one wall you can see the brick work through it. i was told i need to take the paint off?? cant i just rough it up and then apply this technique?
I'm patching a lower wall that leads to the bsmt from outside the house for father's day. This is a great guide. No one told me to use the beam as a smoothing guide or how imp't water is during the job. I'm 5', I won't be able to use a wheel barrel, but I'll do my best to make enough mix to do the entire area. This should be played at LOEWS & HOME DEPOT in the U.S.
troubles1980 your definately a professional in the cement trade, as you know it takes a lot of practise to be able to use a hawk instead of down rights, good luck in your work, i had fun being in touch and talking about the work
i would definately use a big two hand hawk to pull up an d in the mortar on the wall..and i would not use downrights either! much too slow in my opinion..and hard to get a good finish as well..i would render and align it with a staff, and finish with a plastic board
sorry if i offended you not my meaning! thats just how i would do it.. how i was trained in appreniceship.. finished the eduacation (3.8 years) in the year 2003
No NO NO offending I'm interested in your opinion that s cool, I just wanted to say that some times working with cement is not so hard as some people may think,
whoch film was the song from in your cchannel clips? I like the song but I think it could be the fillm triple X?
and the way i mean the wall would be finished in one workway if you know what i mean sorry for my bad english..i just couldnt help to comment cause i was trained in another way :)
Seriously helpful, Palmolive, you really showed some good technique, and i've looked at a stack of these vids online. You are a natural born teacher. Cheers!
you cant render for shit it'll take you all year to render a house.
