Hi blaine thanks for the videos really helpful. I've been having a go sorting my dining room. Plaster has come off back to brick ... I've used thistle undercoat to patch a few feet square on one wall but thinking I should have used hardwall after seeing this? I've got a whole wall to do next advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi mate as you know we have spoke before and I have been plastering for 35 years as you know, Now this goes out to all fellow plasterers, Now have you ever been stitched up on a job where the client will not pay ? take this from an old codger like me you do no more you go down to BP garage fill up a can with diesel go back and say ('ive just got to seal the wall') then paint that diesel over the wall and leave, they cant paint it cant wallpaper it cant artex nothing the only way to solve the problem is to take it all off right back to brick, the diesel soaks back to brick and you are the one laughing not them lol, good job mate keep spreading.

Hi mate. Great videos. IAM a restoration builder. We do up old properties. I've been using bonding coat for years now as a finish plaster. Great plaster will stick to everything. And gives a nice slightly grainy finish, perfect for older house's. You can get a nice finish with it and speed skim and sponge finish and trowel up with ox flexi. Plus it can go on thick or thin depending on the State of the wall. One coat sponge finish using speed skim is my method. You're thoughts would be grateful. Great vids. Thanks 😊. Rob...

Hello Blaine, many thanks for your excellent videos. I have a damp chimney breast - in lime plaster- in a pre 1900 house. The source of the dampness has been fixed. I now need to re plaster. Please can you refer me to any of your videos which deal with re plastering old lime plastering or recommend the products I need to use?

Thanks for the video. Can you comment about addition of lime to gypsum plaster. I've heard it makes it harder and has no negative repercussions.

Hi. I have done a little bit of plastering and I am about to plaster a very old in even brick wall but there is an old timber door frame in the middle of the wall which has been bricked up.

Some observations and questions! 1) - Why do they prefer to use plasterboard for walls now instead of classic hard wall? 2) - So when it comes to filling out the chases left by the plumber and electrician to conceal pipework and wiring, use bonding coat? 3) - You may have already explained this in another vid but is it possible to do a video on the best cement render mixes and ratios, best mixing method, when to use each mix and ratio, etc?

Hi Blaine, this is a very helpful video. I have a breeze block wall that is plastered without plasterboards and is slightly off near the skirting boards, leaving a gap behind them. Currently the builders have just used filler behind this which looks ugly. Would I be correct in saying that I could use bonding to even out the uneven part of the wall followed by a multifinish or easy fill 60?

Great video, what would you use for electrical/plumbing chases please?

Hi Blaine, Many Thanks for this Video. What plaster would you use on sand and cement render and how would you prep it ?

@PlasteringForBeginners

Not a problem mate - prep with lots of PVA and use British Gypsum Multi Finish. Be careful because it does suck in a lot faster on sand/cement render but it's beautiful to work with 👍

What's best to fill in cracks on internal walls ie.in a house where the walls have got plaster on them but some off the wall is down to the original brick or concrete not just little dabs but for instance meter holes I would think it would be hard wall ??

What to do if a plasterer has left his second coat of sand and cement without doing the scratches for the first plaster coat? It's been a few days since it was done so has dried. I'm going to attempt to do it myself as its only a small bit of wall in the porch. Thanks

Hey Blaine, when it comes to BG Hardwall should I use Bluegrit below it so the wall grips the undercoat entirely?

Hi Blaine, great video. A question please. I've knocked 400 to 500mm of old plaster effected by rising damp above the skirting board. I've already pva'd the brickwork with a 1 to 6 mix and then saw for that perhaps you shouldn't apply pva with thistle Hardwall. Will it be OK to go ahead mate? And should I apply a 3 part pva 1 part water mix just before plastering with hardwall. Also if I'm covering with wallpaper, so long as I smooth off well, will I get away without a finishing coat. Finally even though I've applied the 6 to 1 pva should I apply a salt retarding solution before plastering. FYI I have installed a new DPC using safeguard Drirods. Many thanks.
