Quite right. I forgot all about this vid. It really needs to come down as using NHL for internal works is something I no longer like to practise. I only use it if I have a customer who wants the work pushed along a more quickly. Otherwise it's putty or hotlime. Ironically, I'm now back at Kidlington plastering which is where this video was taken.
Can I be pedantic about your pedantry? I don't think anyone is suggesting that houses inhale and exhale gasses when they say a house breathes. When a material is called breathable, it is widely understood to mean vapour permeable.
If i drive nails in this one , or remove a but while putting in my electrical conduits, will the plaster around hold? Or will it come off from one edge and then all at once successively?
@@dkaloupis75 Sorry mate, but I can't give techniques and skills away. It took me a long time to learn them and it cost much in time, money and effort. I appreciate what you're saying but if I tell everyone then everyone knows how to do it and there's no more work for me.
Dimitris K , Presumably you can't read then ? We can teach ourselves absolutely anything from reading about it ......the practical skill though, cannot be taught or learnt, except by hard physical and mental application ; an awful lot of error and the time required, happily spent . .
I appreciate your efforts but can you ramble on less and refine explanations of the techniques and mechanics of products you are using . I was really interested in the Efforvescence as I have Issues with my 1976 brick house .
I'm a rambler. I'd never get any TV unless it was for a stuttering idiot. Effervescence is the process of impurities leaching out of lime mortar. This is why we never use unwashed sand. Normal building sand is not appropriate because the shite workes it way out of the porous mortar. And it looks rubbish. So sand is just as important as the type of lime.
Thank you very much Doris!
She always helps.
When you say 3:2 for the skim coat does that mean 3 parts line 2 parts sand?
Great video thanks!
Surely an NHL2 is appropriate for internal plastering? Lime putty and sand would have been traditional

Great advice mate cheers
Fantastic once again thank you
Great video! Just bought a property near Oxford that’s plagued with gypsum/cement problems. Where do you get your horse hair?
Goat's hair's what you want.

Pedant.
Do you not have to wait a few weeks once youve put the first render coat on?
Nah, let it go green then put yer 2nd on.
What fine sand means? 0-1 mm, 0.1-0.3 mm or 0.1-0.5 mm ?
Kiln dried
If i drive nails in this one , or remove a but while putting in my electrical conduits, will the plaster around hold? Or will it come off from one edge and then all at once successively?
It depends on how old it is, what sand it was made with, how much hair's in the mix, how gentle you are etc etc etc.
Could you use fiberglass wool as a replacement for horsehair in yhe plaster?
Yes, as long as they're alkali resistant.
Hi, do you use hair in the second coat?
He said it was optional yet if it's real bad you may want to use the hair.
how do you mic the scratch coat plaster properly ?
sand 3, hair, lime 1.
Another job well done
You know what you are doing I am a PLASTERER
nothing to see here guys apart his cup of Tea....only talk talk mpla mpla.....no applying techniques or way to go...cheers.
It's not an instructional video bruv. I don't give my trade away. Very few do. It's a vid for marketing and it raises my Google profile - that's all.
@@michaeljamesdesign Thanks for your honest reply now watch out your figures and rates to drop down ...oups...that hurts?

@@michaeljamesdesign Then you should take your useless video down. This is not ADVERT PLACE and you are taking precious space.

I am so happy with my President. Your work is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I hope you get Brexit very soon.
Well there's nothing ridiculous about that.
all I can hear is "er" and "um" - what a pity
Er, um, yeah.
It is, if you can get over it - he’s very knowledgeable
Uhh ummm Uhh ummm is all I heard 😂
That’s all you get.
Everything was explained in great detail and work was carried out to a very high standard. Great job 👍
What a nightmare.
