I’m going on a 5 day plastering course on Monday! So excited to mess up some walls and get practicing 💪🏼🛠
Legend! Hope you enjoy it pal 👍
Had my Marshall Town for 13 years and my dad had it 20 before him. It's an absolute beast. Will use the speedy now and then. But u can't beat a good steal
Christ I bet that’s a cracking trowel! I’d love to see that…fair play my friend.
Yep, spot on! "Perfection is the enemy of good", as they say.
Another brilliant vid Blaine. Yours are the only plastering vids i watch now.
off all the vids i have watched on youtube ,this is by far one of the best, just get stuck in and keep at it and don't be afraid. thanks mate.
Thank you mate! Really appreciate that - glad it’s helped my friend
You are right Blaine i rember an old plaster told once you have a trowel broken in. Once it broken in start with another one brake it in then you have 2 good trowels and then brake in another 2 incase it gets broken or nicked from you then you have a spare waiting for you Blaine
This was the way before any Flexi finishing trowels! I need to start breaking another in really because of this very reason…I’ll get another one for Rendering. Great hearing from you and your dads methods. Cheers, hope you’re well my friend 👍
Agreed Blaine. I am only a DIYer but I started by putting an off cut of plasterboard (1.2m x 1.5m) up in the garage and skimmed it over and over. It really gave me a feel for the technique I needed to use and helped build confidence. I wasn't afraid to ruin it because it was getting torn down and put in the bin at the end.
That’s the one mate - fair play. It makes a massive difference to it confidence!
Was thinking of doing this myself, when you skimmed over it each time, did you just pva it?
@@Wgnwtb I did. Just a light coat the day before. I’m still learning. I did a pva layer of grit too at one point to see how it felt to skim on that.
@@mikelskas thanks for the quick reply, so no need to sand it etc to provide a key, just primer and good to go
@@Wgnwtb just get stuck in mate. If it goes wrong you can rip it off and start again. I had to rip a couple of layers off as I was practicing using the speed skim but made a mess with it.
very good video blaine !
Everything true what you say Blaine I started with the the spear& Jackson double shank carbon steel & stainless steel 1 in the 80’s but tyzack took over they was good but the quality of steel & rivets started to go down hill always breaking etc use Marshall town and ragni flexlite now ragni is sweet though lol ps Kraft not so bad either tiger stripes I call them orange handle 3 black stripes
Ive been watching your videos some time getting to understanding the processes. I then got all the tools i needed and I’ve had a go. It’s took me a few weeks but today I’ve finished my stairs / landing / and hallway , lots of big high areas maybe starting up on a ladder was not the best move 😂. I was told by a building inspector today - you have had a good plaster there pal . I laughed and said it’s my first attempt. He was shocked / said that’s better than most of the plasters we have working for us. Shame you cant upload photos so I can show you my results . I lot has been learnt in the past few weeks in at the deep end but thanks for the help . Mission completed 🎉
Made the point brilliantly. So all those speed skims n Flexi trowels I bought stay in their boxes ha ha! Your daughter is so cute!
Haha just until your familiar with your trowel. Then the other tools will be a dream try work with. Thanks pal…we’re very lucky to have her!
Great video mate!
Cheers from London 👍
Thanks again Blaine, I have used your channels before and i have learnt a lot. But this info about the 3 rules of plastering has been inspiring, I wished I knew about these rules two years ago. (hahaha)... As i almost bought every trowel on the market to help me out which became a nightmare and then panic came to traumatise me. 🤣
Like you said "just do it". Thank you once again for simplifying plastering.🤘
This is so true. New trowels are a painnn hahaha. Love the videos by the way. Watch every single one👍🏻
Loving your videos Blaine! Signed up for your Plastering for Beginners course and it's so full of helpful tips and timings! We are finding we get some tiger stripes though after the two coats are on and we're closing in/1st trowel - any tips for what we might be doing wrong or how to figure out when to move on to the next stage better?? Thanks!
Thanks for another great video. Just had my upstairs plastered, was temped to try myself thanks to your videos but knowing it wasn’t just a skim coat I thought I’d leave it to the pros.
I have a question, part of my wall had a hard wall undercoat before skimming. It’s where the radiator used to be/will be rehung. How long would you advise before I can rehang the radiator? Was done 6 days ago and house temp has been about 5 degrees five or take.
Thanks for the videos!

Hello Blaine, love the videos and you’ve inspired me to give plastering a try rather than “calling the guy”
A silly question, but how do you dispose of any leftover or unused bonding or multi finish plaster? Surely down the sink is a no no? Tip into bag then wait to solidify then dispose in wheelie bin?
Bump
Great advice Blaine. Would you consider doing a video where you shadow a beginner plastering your practice wall?
I’m working on this. I want to do this very soon 😉
Honestly love your videos mate its very hard to find someone who will explain things as well as you do, quick question the boards you have used to practice on are you replacing them each time or do you prep then and go over them again? Iv got a little outter shed thats extended from the house and its just bare brick on the inside would i be better to dot an dab a board onto it or fix some timber so i can easily remove and replace a practice board? Also did you teach yourself to plaster or did you do any courses when you first started, hope to hear back from you, keep up the amazing content mate 👍🏻
That wall behind you looks the bollox mate im going to give that a go
The best tip I’ve seen in comments is lighting. Get a really good day light lamp. Around 4000 lumens. Run the light down the wall or ceiling and use the glare coming off the work in progress. The more lamps or lumens the better. No one talks about lighting and even set the lamps up how natural day light enters the room. You’ll get to see what each trowel does and what it does not do.
Lumens is where it’s at. Loads of em.
I tried searching for the nela premium can please post a link to the trowel you have
😎👍
👍👍
👍👍
I’m doing my kitchen Friday but I just need a bit of advice
Hi Blaine, how do you properly dispose of plaster/plaster water??
Bump
I bought a carbon steel nela and it came bent the wrong way any ideas how I can straighten it out or is it my new floor scraper 😢
Great channel pal. Just a quick question, I have painted ceilings but want to get them reskimmed, would I need to strip the paint off them or can I get them reskimmed straight on to the painted ceilings?
Bump
Hi keep up the good work I hate skimming
Thanks pal 👍👍
I know that beach, and a local plasterer now.
Haha brilliant!
Great video Blaine i'm starting my son on the trowel next week.......He's going to be next to me to begin with but i want him taking on his own wall by the end of the week
Fair play mate…there’s no reason he can’t. Good luck to him and I hope he enjoys it 👍
What I don't get with the ox trowel is the 1 your using in your video,( I have 1) but the handle is horrific, but the ox ultraflex i have the handle is a thousand times better, would probably use more if handle was same as the ultra.
The handle is a bit chunky and good point…the ultraflex is a totally different handle. Admittedly, that one’s better.
Why would you use any other color than white? Isn't it more work for the painter, many of them paint white before the desired color so don't need to paint over anything dark. Excellent channel man
What happened to the dummies guide?
Its the same video mate - just testing titles and thumbnails
The position of the trowel is often overlooked. More empathise on this one aspect alone would be really helpful.
She looks just like her mom.
Had my trowel for 6 years then a builder kicked it off a scaffold
Killer mate. I feel for you. RIP 🪦
