    Always amazing to watch your content, you've given a load of tips that I take on board, don't get me wrong I'm miles away from being able to plaster lol, but watching you definitely helps as I have a project coming up soon, that will hopefully not look too bad afterwards 🤞🤞

      @Onthetrowel yeah I didn't do hard work for some time and now I feel like I was run over by a train. I used a plaster retarder just in case. The problem I have is curves. How the hell do you pro's make curves look so good? Everything I try I end up plastering thick layers and I have to repair it

    As a joiner who can skim a wall or ceiling and get a good finish but not a plasterer that ceiling would be absolutely terrifying 😆. I remember trying to plaster a ceiling 10 by 5m once years ago and the stress was absolutely horrific 🤣. Used the blue grit and the suction was absolutely insane. Was going off 20 mins into first coat. Looked horrible when finished tbh and really learned a lesson on where my skill levels were! Ended up not charging the customer any money and paid my decorator to easy fill sand and get it perfect! Anyone who doesn’t realise the skill involved in big ceilings needs to try one!!

    I am always impressed by how flat and smooth you guys get those walls and ceilings with just a trowel.

    We have a very similar job to this but perhaps twice the size and I am struggling to find a plastering team I trust to do the job.

    Just one thing, polishing plaster does have problems for painters mate. It's hard to tell from your videos how mental you go with it but it definitely can affect how the paint keys to it

    @richardpotts7128 День назад

    Kirk if you're staining wood then the grit of the sanding makes a difference on what you're using and how it absorbs into the wood. If you polish the plaster up then does that mess with the painters mist coat or base coat?

      No mate, they just struggle with the roller sliding and the paint not sticking properly. It's an interesting thought though mate

      I prefer the philosophy of objectivism, I'm a fan of Ayn Rand and her writings.
      Now the story of how I wound up there is quite interesting.
      Steroids.
      In my 20,s I was big into bodybuilding and I came across the work of a gentleman by the name of Mike mentzer. It was studying the life of Mike that I was directed to Ayn.
      Mike was a big fan of her writings as it influenced his bodybuilding journey.
      A great book to read it "atlas shrugged" if my memory serves me right 🙂👍
