  • What is PVA? You should explain this to idiots like me who struggle to do this kind of thing. you make it look so easy!!! I did a whole flat some years ago but the mixture seemed thicker than yours and it made my arms ache pretty badly.

  • expert??? hmm

  • 2 birds not 22 haha

  • heres a tip use mixer to clean bucket ,22 birds one stone ,and the thicker you lay it on the more time you get, and the stronger and less likely to crack

  • Great job mate, I run my own property services business and over the years have taught myself to plaster and still learning, so find it good to watch videos like this and see different ways and techniques. It is a skilled job and does take lots of prctice but is very satisfiying to see an end result, of a nice skimmed smooth wall, wherever or however you choose to start a wall!

  • PVA should be tacky not dry n not too wet

    

  • why are you 1 starting from the bottom and 2 going right to left

  • Good for diyers but if being picky,key walls with knive if to smooth,skrimm any cracks,pva and spread while still tacky. You should start left to right at top if right handed, flatten between coat making sure first coat has gone off enough before second coat to get thickness, wait till plaster pulls in and go over three times while wetting with brush.this should be sufficient if you are a proper plasterer.About 2.30 to 3 hours depending on suction.

  • Hello, I'm italian and I would like to know, if this plaster is something of particular one, or normal plaster. Because watching this vid, it looks like so easy plastering a wall, whilst plastering a wall is absolutely an hard job with nomral plaster, or at least, the plaster that wu use in Italy. Can I have further information?

  • am a plasterer.....he said fill the cracks in before you start....bullshit.....and your drill is from the 1920....lol...
