Hello, guys, this video explains the step by step process of applying two coats of 20 minute mud to bedroom walls. I did this large room in a day with help. It can also be completed with taping mud in three days with a ton of sanding. Take it from me, choose a plasterer and don't use the taping mud, unless you have lots of time and don't mind the dust.

Thank you for reading or watching, and have a great day!

Is this a level 5 finish after the two coats of the 20 minute mud? Do you ever use the premixed light weight compound over the second coat? What type of primer do you use over the 2 coats? Thanks for your videos, there are very informative.

@kilfrg Hey guy, I'm not sure what level 5 is. Sorry. However what we did is a smooth finish. I always mix our plaster as well as stucco, it take more time but the results are much better product usually, than pre-mixed. Lastly, i usually just recommend a Kelly Moore or other quality primer for plaster. Best wishes.

@madatown Your welcome pal, and best wishes with your projects. Even if you don't get it perfect at least you would have given it your best shot. That's worth more then perfection.

Hey guy, that sounds about as close to explaining the levels as I have heard.

I use the swimming pool trowel sometimes where I don’t want the trowel lines, and lastly I use a wing trowel for the corners. Place allot of mud in these areas, and simply pull the wing tool up or down and you have a great corner with ease.

Thanks for the comment, and have a good evening

@StuccoPlastering Isn't that the scale where level 1 is just embedded tape (as one might find in an attic fire partition) and level 5 is smooth enough to look good near a light fixture? Anyway, it's cool to see someone use one of those oblong trowels; I was thinking of getting one the next time I take on something like this. You must need a taping knife or a rectangular trowel for the corners. Looks good.
