Pouse, I've watched many many of your videos, and I have commented once before. I know some people complain about it not being 'professional', but I have to say you have helped me no end! I'm currently in the middle of major renovations and need to save money where I can. You videos are amazingly helpful, and I have used them time and again. I am midway through extending an renovating a shower room into a Bathroom and you've helped me massively. (I'll happily share before and after photos with you once completed). Thanks so much for helping DIY-ers!!!
Thanks for the feedback 👍. The title was a bit tongue in cheek as I did say 'how to...or not!' As you say the result is fine, my method on that day a bit chaotic yes, a bit slow yes, but this is real DIY! Thanks for watching.
I am about to do some plaster boarding for the first time in my life.... dreading it, but this vid has at least summed it up quick and given me a clear idea of the deal without fafing too much about technical stuff... 👍🏻 hell, I'm subscribing, I have 2 months to do sh*t load of work in my house and all of it is new to me... I'm shi**ing myself, I need this channel!
Best of luck with it. My advice just start small. Practice new stuff on small bits and stick at it. Practice makes perfect...or in my case just chaos!! Thanks for watching.
Mixing it too think then adding water to it speeds up the drying time, doesn’t matter for that small job, also that painted wall might not have a good key for the adhesive, you should chips some plaster off with a hammer for a good key
Thanks for the video, going to have to do a bit of this myself. Couldn’t get a plasterer to do the job. Had 12 plasterers turn me down or never got back to me. Two others actually came to size the job up, one was dodgy as hell and I wouldn’t let him in the house again. The other was an enthusiastic but very young chap who initially took the job and then keeps letting me down. Job needs doing by Tuesday, I’ve been messed around for weeks so having to do it myself. Screw the plasterers I say 😉
Question for you today! I'm doing a bathroom refurb. Removing 2 layers of tiles. Dot and dab moisture board all round. What I want to know is.... I will pva the boards and paint as only tiling around the bath. The two window recesses I want a nice beaded edge...do you know of any product out there suitable?
Hi Pouse thank you for all your videos, truly helpful. Is there a chance that you would make a tutorial how to prep a wall for plastering, how to get the old plaster off to show how the wall should look like before re-plastering? Thank you
I've actually filmed some footage on prepping with bonding plaster, coming soon! You pretty much need the wall flat. It doesn't have to be super smooth. I like to use a floor scraper on rough walls, then fill any deep holes with bonding plaster. 2 coats of pva, scrim tape over any joints or cracks and multifinish plaster over the top for final skim. Hope that helps!
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE Hi, Pouse, definitely that helps a lot. I already stripped the wall and some parts seems really damaged, so i am a little stuck not knowing the degree of the damage your video will really gimme some clues. Thank you very much for the time and the tutorial, greatly appreciated. Regards
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE Ah mate I do a lot of open water swimming in rivers, dont tell us any horror stories! Your DIY talent is spot on, I was trying to work out which construction trade you came from
"professional" plasterers have to be up there with the biggest chips on their shoulders when it comes to non professionals doing plastering. So much negativity from them
It's recommended to also use the odd 'mechanical fix' or screws but the dot and dab alone I'd usually fine. If you have masonry wall you will need to either drill and use wall plugs for screws, or masonry screws. I only used srews as I had stud timber at top that wasn't dot and dabbed. Sorry for the late reply!!
Ian! How are you doing? I was convinced I saw you the other day, pulled the window down for a chat.....it wasn't! It was a delivery driver looking at me funny. Hope you're well and you never know, we might frequent a place of work again!
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE glad you said ‘frequent’ rather than work there! All good fella, desperate to get out on a bike! Take care, catch up one day 👍 (People look at you funnily normally anyway!) 😉😜
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE nah its called videomic me, that's what I have. Though it works best on 🍏 I think, not 🤖, so don't buy it if you have 🍏. Clips onto your phone and just uses the headphone socket or usbc
Wow indeed, a job done well without a plasterer. Nothing wrong with the video. Sure plasterers won’t be happy with DIY jobs being taught to the public, but there will always be jobs for good plasterers as some people value their time more than others. Plasterers need to understand board and skim will eventually become DIY, it’s not hard and can be learnt in a day or two. Float and set is another story.
@@HaroonAshraf well I would not have broken tools for start and mic correct ratio of water and powder the more times you add water the quicker it goes off that enough for you ?
Good job ,monkey see monkey do as my old boss used to say, trade people always get arsy about jobs I know I m 1 , these days you can do most things with a bit of common sense and RUclips teacher happy DIY everyone keep at it ✌️

Appreciate the feedback and glad to help you out. Best of luck with the renovations and please do forward on your pics 👍
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE It'll be a while as I'm away working now. But give me an email and I will around the end of March! Cheers Mate, Legend!
@@icklejack01 it's in the 'about' section on my channel with my channel info. Look forward to it.
Another quality video from Pouse. As always. Helped me so much with my house refurbishment. Did it all myself.
Nice one! Glad to help 👍
Ignore the critics. Proof is in the finished product which looks spot on. Thanks for the advice!!

Great job, there's a lot of joint taping and plastering to keep you busy I see.
There was! All done now thankfully.

Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the video. Gave me the confidence to tackle a small dot n dab job before the plasterer comes tomorrow to hide my mess
Problem I have is I do the messy plastering to cover the messy dot and dab! Thanks for the feedback and best of luck with it.
Cool. Thumbs 👍🏾up for this video. Can you do a video on how you mark out the plasterboard for weird shapes please? Thanks in advance ☺
I'll bear that one in mind yes. Thanks for the feedback!
Another great vid 👍
Thank you.

Give it a go but just mix a bit at a time and take your time. You can see how things go wrong in my video!! Best of luck.
Great job. I'd have been a bit scared to put the screws in until it had set a bit more, but I guess it's all pretty firm.
I did while wet so it could set in position. Thanks for watching.
GREAT JOB.THANK YOU FOR TIPS.HAVE A NICE DAY.
No problem, thanks for watching.
Great video, keep it up mate
Thanks for watching!
Nice job. Impressed how you got the notched trowel effect on the camera lens too!
Thanks!

Dot and dab moisture board all round. What I want to know is.... I will pva the boards and paint as only tiling around the bath. The two window recesses I want a nice beaded edge...do you know of any product out there suitable?
Why not plaster the boards and just use angle bead for neat corners?

@@Cassiopea456 here's the video I mentioned on how tonprep a wall - ruclips.net/video/gYMa25eM73E/видео.html. Best of luck with it.
Do you mind me asking, what's your work/training background?
Believe it or not I work in rivers, not a building trade! This was meant to be a pastime!
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE Ah mate I do a lot of open water swimming in rivers, dont tell us any horror stories! Your DIY talent is spot on, I was trying to work out which construction trade you came from
@@BrumCraft you've probably built up a resistance to all that 'clean' water now so don't worry, just enjoy it! 😄👍
Was that mixing paddle from Toolstation by any chance?!
Screwfix I think. Not the best!
Anyone else have a game of "adhesive" bingo watching that? I wouldn't want to play the "adhesive" drinking game that's for sure!! 😉😉🤪
No, never heard of adhesive bingo sorry!
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 😂😂
top work I think you should protect your stairs.
Thanks for the feedback!
"professional" plasterers have to be up there with the biggest chips on their shoulders when it comes to non professionals doing plastering. So much negativity from them
Seems that way! Thanks for watching.
100% percent! Plasterers think they're indispensable.
Excellent job 👏
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Welldone
Thank you.
Where are you from originally spouse? Your heritage?
Wales.....I think. I do tan well though so who knows what went on in the family tree!! Thanks for watching.
Hi. Should i also use drywall screws if its solid wall?
It's recommended to also use the odd 'mechanical fix' or screws but the dot and dab alone I'd usually fine. If you have masonry wall you will need to either drill and use wall plugs for screws, or masonry screws. I only used srews as I had stud timber at top that wasn't dot and dabbed. Sorry for the late reply!!
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSEreally helpful addition
Chaotic !!
Standard! Thanks for watching.
I'm here 😄
Hello!
Why would you plaster over the plasterboard? Just tape, fill and sand and paint
Why would do that? Tape, fill and sand gives a sub-standard finish. Plastering is much quicker
That was painful to see, did ya pva that existing wall what ya wa dotting too?
You think it was painful to watch? Imagine actually doing it that day! 🤣
I give you like because you weren't prepared
Thanks!!
Did u know that your theme tune music has the same tune as Lady Gaga’s G.U.Y. :))
I just had a listen....similar. She must have copied me!
Does your level even work after knocking your wall lol 😂
I wondered why all the new walls I build are at an angle. Thanks for watching!
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 😂 great vids mate
You don't use your level to knock boards in??
I've missed that voice :) Hope you're well butty.

Tell your not confident with handboard and float. Not a bad job for a amateur 👍
Thanks for the feedback Michael.
Wheres the dots ?? Look up dot and dabbing please !
Great vid as usual. However, please buy this: rode videomic me. :)
Can't use link. Is it the rode go? I'm thinking of going for that. Thanks for the feedback!

@@GM-dc8vr thanks for the info!
Harry Kane?
Shhhh
Please phone a plasterer and pay a professional to do this .... wow
You can't get one, they're stacked out.
Wow what? Might not look as neat but lovely finish. Thanks for watching.
Please don't
But that wouldn't be classed as DIY.
Wow indeed, a job done well without a plasterer. Nothing wrong with the video.

should of waited for it to dry up then add you’re screws, caused a hollow bad video.
Caused a hollow? Can you elaborate? Screwing the was fine, lovely and solid, no knocking the boards around later once it's set.
Lol total amateur
Thanks for the feedback John and thanks for watching!
Sorry but you should of scrapped that video and started again
