You make it look easy. Thats def not easy for a non plasterer :)
Hi mate thank you yes its hard for me to all the same haha sometimes the small ones we tend to over look and make it harder for our selves but patching any type of dash is difficult to make it look the same
Why shouldn't you use bonding coat in a bathroom? What should I use instead? I've got holes I need to fill where base layers crumbled in places. Bought bonding coat as doing chasing in other rooms
Any where there is damp bonding is not good as it has fermacalite in it and that holds the water really well so if re doing a bath room kitchen it's best to try use sand cement or possibly hard wall might be better alternative but sand n cement be the best long term again sometimes bonding is only option on jobs hope this helps some
Any tips for rendering the reveal at the top overhead a window. Is there a different mix needed to the side reveals. It can be hard to get the render to stick overhead. How can stickiness be improved
I use same mixes as mentioned again you could use a rule / Batton nailed on and build down in layers the timber will help it stay there as its an edge to help hold until the render is set hard .... you can add more sbr or a little more mortar mix but it isn't necessary , also something like a hp 12 can be a little more sticky again can all be be done with these mixes in video
@@macplastering thanks for reply. Windows being rendered to a bead. I might experiment with SBR. Trying to build down a scratch coat first. I have had some success with a 4-1-1 mix. I rendered overhead about 250mm - 300mm from each side or as much as it would support itself. I then filled in the middle part today and it held. However the finish coat will need to be done in one go, but will not be as heavy. Overhead Gravity is a challenge HP12 looks a good product on paper at least. Might try that.
@@hm37404 Ye the hb12 will be sticky and set well can just mix it with water near the job with a drill just wash everything well it is strong when sets same as gear with sbr its real strong I would go as far as to say a little sbr in the mix will make it 10 times harder stronger
@@macplastering HB 12 sounds like it will adhere to the substrate like Tile Adhesive. I will try using SBR first and see how that goes.
let me know how ya get on with it mate
Plasterer of 20+ years sat here at break time between trowels watching plastering videos 😬☺️
@joedainton2189 why not haha was doing acrylic today crazy weather it's nice now but was so afraid as it keeps trying to rain
You videos are credit to you! I have worked on building sites for 20 years and would class my self a all round skilled labour, even as a site manager. As someone who is now plastered my garden walls. Large Georgian Pillars, I did use SBR in my scratch coat but had some serious filling out todo to get pillars plumbed and squared. I didn't use beds rather used straight edge/rules stop ends. I have really enjoyed the plastering experience, shocked at the levels of propriety work needed. 2/3rds of the work. Applying plaster is the 1/3 of the job! Setting up > mixing plaster > plastering
@MarvinofMars yes some jobs is harder to just get prep and clean up than it is to just do the plastering or rendering haha witch can still be hard work but you sometimes just don't see all the hard work as its covered up
Brilliant video buddy. 🤙🤙
@lmilne4859 thanks for watching and supporting mate 👍
Hi Mac, before I found your videos a few years ago, I had attempted a float and set coat plaster and it was lumpy and I wasn't happy with the finish. Thanks to your videos my lounge is redone and I have also completed my kitchen and it looks extremely good. Not sure if I will tackle an exterior render job but I am confident I could with your videos! Thanks for your detailed videos they are great! From Australia 👍
@gavin_hill so glad to hear mate 👍 it's what these vids are all about helping others even if a little bit. You being in Australia will be hard in the heat for sure but again if you chose the weather and wet down well no doubt you can get a great finish 👍
is it still going. can you show the height adjust handle and the different cut outs please. asking coz mine may have an issue
@graememccaig723 will try get a clip done today the grass has missed a few Cutts so actually really needs done but yes still going atm
Hello mate, I’m a landscaper so occasionally we have to do the odd planter like the one in your video. Just want to say what a brilliantly informative video that was. Thanks for the mix ratio guide, always hear mixed views on that but we do 3/1 4/1 like you’ve said. I think the thing we haven’t done is used a poly carb float, we use a trowel then a sponge but when it’s painted you see the undulations. Thanks again Matty
@Brockstonepavingpros yea mate, my ratios never failed me, yet after such a long time, it's well proven ... yes, the float will help you Big time, mate will fill the holes better and get it flat without moving the stuff too much 👍
@@macplastering thanks for the advice my mate! Love the channel, keep it going 🙌🏼
Thanks buddy appreciate the support :)
I use lime in the finishing coat ,helps the workability and give it real body for a sponge finish.
@noelwhelan8963 yes but not to much it sure will make nice a fluffy to coat we did a big site before one shovel per mix in a big mixer and it was so creamy and light was for dry dash white background
@@macplastering in a big mixer I use two shovels of lime,lovely for sand/cement finish ,dry dash the same gives a nice fatty mix for dash alright. 👍
Awesome bud👌💪🏻
@rockroll456 thanks for the support mate it's much appreciated 👍
great Video Mac as per usual! you've covered pretty much everything u would need to know in this. 💯 & its just what I needed as I'll be scratch coating this week 👍
@johns9543 haha perfect timing, then thanks for watching buddy and the feedback it's much appreciated 👍
Amazing video, and highly appreciated, from learning via your videos I've been able to build my front garden into a absolute paradise. Block work on planters and rendered them. Now we can sit out and enjoy it. Next job will be to do our porch. But I can only thank you so much for all the help. 😊
@NorthdownAngler so glad to have helped you some buddy and truly love hear the videos help and are useful 😀 thanks again for watching and supporting
Do you need morta mix with waterproofer as it has it in already and separates when mixed
My gear never dose that unless it's building sand but agin I only put a little in
Make sure you are adding them to the water before mixing with sand and cement. From memory about a capful of sbr and 2 caps of plasterciser to a 9L bucket of water is what I did. Then you add water as needed to make your mix. (Wont necessarily need all the water)
@gavin_hill yea that's the way I go pretty much
Good info lad,👍
Thanks 👍
Appreciate your Rendering Videos, Can't Wait for your House Rendering video Series, I'm sure you'll pull out All the Stop's on each Episode. Thank you in advance for your helpful tips, tricks on Rendering etc 👍
Thats it Joe hope to get some great video on that big time and loads of them :) cant wait to get the windows and doors in to get a start at it :) Thanks again for all your support
Brilliant video as usual , massively appreciate the effort you make doing these videos , i recently rendered the back of my house with sand and cement and it was spot on ,purelly because you had gave me the knowledge and confidence to tackle the job myself .
That's brilliant Simon mate so glad to hear it has helped you :):) you must be right and handy for sure at it as rendering is very hard even now to me its just hard work :):) and an easy thing to get wrong if things go pear shape
Im doing structure similar but what to finished in buttermilk or Iivory finish, any suggestions or type of material that would work...
Acrylic render can be any colour you wish also know as thin coat render
something like so - kzread.info/dash/bejne/mYWO0ayJpsSzY9o.html have a few videos on channel more than welcome to have a look and one been doing in a nice charcoal colour
Looks good. Thanks for the info aswell. Im having a go at this but my base coat was a little bit rough in areas. Will the top coat follow any small indent or bump? I found it a nightmare cos the base coat seemed so hard too work in areas where there was no bead too follow. I used Ewi it gets a skin on it and then u can hardly do anything with it. Thanks mate
I have always stuck to the mix my own gear other than bagged renders myself but yes when thing set like that its not to fun at all. this gear can follow what's under it big time might want to try sand out as much imperfections as possible funny i have one to do next dry day and its a little like you say im going over a few not so tidy areas on excysting old render so will have to be on my A game to make it look as good as possible
@macplastering thanks for the advice. I thought I'd give it a go but wish if of stuck too sand and cement really. Good luck on that, I'd def leave it too the pros in future lol.
@@jonnybuckle8789 how much was the gear compared to sand n cement mate?
@macplastering I got 5 bags of base coat 2 different primers and the thin coat. Probs 8 beads and It was probs around 350 I bet. I bet sand and cement and paint would of cost less than 100. It was only small area but it's rediculous costing that much more
@@jonnybuckle8789 it is crazy that kind of price compared to a few bags of sand n cement for sure
Hello can also do taracotta maybe
Do you mean as a mould or on the wall as a render?
hey Mac I've just done the scud coat, u made it look easy, it's hard work. I have to scratch it now, my problem the headers on the windows want about 35mm on & is some of the bricks in 2 areas have up to 50mm missing about a metre. they were just rendered before. so if I put 50mm of render on in coats say 15mm will I then be able to scratch over the same day ? or will have to build it out & then scratch the following day ? if so what mix will I be doing the scratch in? as 3 to 1 will be my building out coat , if you get what i mean.
Hi john mate great stuff and question if it was me would possibly do a 2 and 3\4 sand mix to 1 cement on the build out, then 3 to 1 over that I have a big rendering video going live tomorrow will help you out all rendering stages explained with as much detail as i could squish in ....
problem with going to crazy on th eheads is they are upside down and like to drop of if we go to deep to fast .... nailing a timber on can help giude and hold it up untill it is set
@macplastering nice 1 Mac I'm glad I can do that it's a alot to build out. will definitely use a batton then .
@macplastering thanks Mac i appreciate it, all your videos have been a life saver .as always can't wait for the new 1 ! 😁
Any time john mate again that's the video live more than welcome to have a look let me know if i could add any better info to it next ect? Thanks again for the support and so glad the videos helping you
Its like painting with cement
Thanks for watching buddy
Would it be ok to lay this mix 20mil to 55 mil over 2 metres

what's on the floor now?

Hi Mac I'm rendering an internal bedroom with sand and cement and it's going to have to be quite thick to straighten the very wonky wall? Should I use a mesh? What are the circumstances informing using or not using a mesh? Thanks!
@deaosatori216 mesh should help reduce cracking and won't help with depth you could scratch coat it all out a day straight it as much as possible if you wish to add mesh that be best time the key it up with a scratcher then next day ir so fill wall right out get nice and straight float it to key it up then in another day or so skim it uo hope this helped mate
Okay cool so I don't need to add mesh but it might help with reducing cracking? I think I will need to do a few scratch coats to get the wall flat and in some places it really will need to be very thick. It's a very wonky wall!
@deaosatori216 sounds a fun project mate if you think wall needs mesh fir sure but if it's solid it should be OK.. what's wall built from brick or block.
Old Victorian brick! It's pretty solid, I'm just worried that the render is going to have to be so thick in some places that it might fall off the wall or something 😅
@deaosatori216 @deaosatori216 if you try going to deep to fast it could slide of you would be best scyd coating the wall 1st the scratch to help kill suction loads of the mixes and deatils on the channel

U are a bit early mac I am a plasterer myself let them get it ready and ceilings slabed

Amazing. I know absolutely nothing about tiling or removal, I have an entire kitchen every wall with thick residues to remove, and I was really struggling with just a bolster chisel and hammer. I saw your video and started to do your method and it's working. I am still using the chisel but I am gonna go and get a sharp paint scraper. Any brand or size in particular you recommend? 😊
@potionprincess1 The one I used to use was a Stanley, but it's lost now it was a stiff Stanless steel one but with all its years use it was very sharp and good at this kinda work
Oh and woukd say it was 4 inches wide
I grabbed myself a couple of prep heavy duty scrapers down at tool station yesterday and they've been great so far, much better than the chisel!😅 👍🏼it's a great method as no dust so much more bearable
@potionprincess1 oh yes, less dust less hard work less material needed to make good time n money saved haha I'm so glad it's help you. if you can so share it on to help others 😊
Who's doing the rendering for you ?
Haven't priced it yet 😂
Dziękujemy.
Thank you for the support my friend it really dose mean a lot :) and always here if you need
Thanks mate just doing this now
@DuaneJasper hope it works for you. My friend. have a better one of these vids uploaded with better sound quality, I think . Best of luck 😉
Thabks u for the instructions.. i got mine far too wet n botched the job!!!
@newcastlemusicstudios you can always add a little more powder or water if to tight but it is hard to mix small amounts
Brother That’s how plastering (stucco ) is done in Canada , two layers of building paper and then 17 gauge galvanized welded wire . And plaster work . But how do you like plastering on wire ?? Was it nice or would you rather plaster on top of block , brick ?
@ernestogonzalez17 it's not too bad I do think brick and block a better job over time
@@macplastering yes 100% mate
Thanks
Anytime my friend always here and very much appreciate your support 🙏
Can you do this over a stone veneer?
@lizhammond9277 I never have myself but if it's solid I would say yes
Lovely job buddy. Your mad not taping with a bit plastic on window. Oi easy and n the bricky chant eh lol. Dry dash 50sqm on Friday. Had small crack lucky boy spotted it later on was 1 foot up from floor on a 700mm panel. Was scorching hot lucky big gable and rest was good. A tend hose first thing then hit with straight SBR to seal last left to helper as picking more stuff am guessing was a half arse effort. lol. Having got any more dry dash videos coming mate. 🤙
Mate most sites and new build including my own tbe mud is left for us poor spreads to clean haha but you know that one the next guy will get that haha no way we would get away with leaving it covered with sand n cement lol yea covering makes it to anyoing as it always finds away or when removing when wet damages just cant win with it
@@lmilne4859 would you tape up all jobs or just the old wet dashing ones? Mate
@@macplastering Always tape up dolphin orange tape great tape. Thin plastic. Windy could be a pain so easier poss with heavy visqueen. Glass protector pain in the ass and dust or wet so end up tape it anyways. Sheet plastic just covering glass 2inch wide right round covering the frame most pvc at times still has plastic film left on frames. Window sills the orange tape across them all nice and snug. Find pretty quick to tape them plastic on sills more snagging trowel or that or a rough loose bit plastic. Don’t do much wet dash mostly just dry dash and k rend mono here and there. Wet dash back to question fuck yes am bricky to trade don’t have the wet dash down to a t yet wouldn’t be as accurate as your self most definitely. lol. Plastic tape window done correctly never nothing to clean 1 second to whip off. A get what your saying if bit tape to far into frame pull can end pulling a bit off. That’s why a tend covering myself as too letting the labourer do it lol. Never use the k rend pre mixed wet dash mate ? What best general ratio wet dash 4 stone 2 sand 1. Cement ?
I do 3 2 1 mate same order you put mate never have used that looks good easy i suppose just add water LOL
@@macplastering Think would be the way forward for you buddy your a master at it so less stress if on job your self take bags up scaffold megamixer few refina x ray buckets away you go. Keep the videos coming mate 🤙🤙🤙

Roof on the heavy lifting Done, looking like a Home.Back to Grafting to get the money in for Windows and Doors, 👏👏
that's true m8 will be hard to get it money before winter for that but i will try plasterers don't get as much as these bricklayers and roofers but for sure we work hard for it if not harder
how much do you reckon the house will cost you excluding the land? How come you decided to have a chimney, is there a fire up just a nicer way of having a vertical flue for a boiler?
one will be an open fire the other a log burner / multi burner we bought site and it alreasy had piles / plans done we liked what was there so stuck with it , bolier for oil will be in garage
Brilliant Joe. Great house. I'm sure you can't wait to get started the plastering. You'll be busy but its nice to be able to contribute so much on the building of your own home.
