    ps dont know why these people are whingeing about the music, minor detail, the narration is fine and subtitles informative. The Ticks and Crosses about right and wrong are great, and the detail is really informative - eg how much texture to have on the surface, how much moisture. So helpful.

    Well done for counter lathing, so few people do this and I would argue along with rubbish spacing (I use the tip of my little finger) that this is a probable cause as to why ye old plaster walls may have failed. On the fibers, I try not to use polypropylene because they are too smooth and shite for the environment because they don't rot.
    I once nicked some elephant grass from a field and used that as a background, fixing it in place the way that reed or straw is fixed in place instead of a lath wall. I once used the Ty Mawr lime many moons ago and liked the product, most of my lime is chalk based and I tend to slake my own stuff from fine kibbled quicklime instead of the lumplime. Lastly, the more water thats added to a mix then the weaker it can become which is why I prefer to use putty mixes instead of hydraulic or hydrated because a freshly slaked putty is quite wet then I leave the mix to amalgamate for a week or so before slapping it on the wall and then it's just right. Using lime you will get much better acoustics in a room and it feels warmer too. ( sorry about the red it changed colour and I've no idea why)
    I must say that having a sponge float like the ones used in the film really helps the work at times. All the best from Somerset.

    Fantastic video thanks so much for how informative it is. I've been looking everywhere trying to find out how to do this. Only trouble I have is trying to find the right fibres here. I wonder if I can use human hair from a hair dresser? And am assuming the hair part is for the initial coat. I hope to do a course with you guys this year.

      Sure, but they provide fantastic starting points for beginners. They can save you dozens or hundreds of hours in mistakes you learn to avoid from the get go. If those beginners then turn around and start selling their services professionally without having any experience then that's not the video's fault

    • @dekonfrost7
      @dekonfrost7 6 лет назад +1

      Conscious Transmutation you can use wax and buff. But watch it i it freezes. Its simple but complicated. Waterprroofing works 2 ways. Trapping water in also, thats why waxing or adding tallow is risky. Also adding urea to the too coat can help. But depends on circumstances.

  • @I_am_Rosy
    @I_am_Rosy 6 лет назад +1

    Hi, good video, but you’re skimming over what looks like perfectly straight/flat walls. I live in an old cottage with wavy walls (which we LOVE) which we want to keep wavy, but make smooth... don’t know if you understand me there. We’ve just started on a “practice” wall, and we’re finding that using a flat trowel is extremely unhelpful because of the wavy ness. We’ve rendered underneath just as you have, but the walls still have their contours, and it’s hard to manoeuvre around them without making a ghastly mess! Any tips?
    Thanks

      @jaimehewitt2668 5 лет назад +1

      If its that uneven you can use what's called a harling trowel. And you dub the wall out slowly by throwing it at the wall building it out in tight coats i.e 10mm max coats until you get a reasonable flatness that you van get a trowel over it.

  • @dorianleakey

    Why do you advise against the wavy lines method of scratching which has a scientific basis for its recommendation by manufacturers of modern gypsum plaster? Is it something to do with the lime that stops that perfectly logical way f doing it being acceptable?

    • @HouseFairyDIY
      @HouseFairyDIY 5 лет назад +3

      I would hazard a guess that it's because the lime needs a deeper cut into setting plaster to sink into and a wavy line would create an unreliable line that would be half collapsed.

      this is by no means a criticism, and I hope it is constructive. I do not intend to provide a plastering lesson, however, firstly; it is clear that the lady is not a plasterer and an instructional video should have a qualified tradesman to show the correct technique. There is a time honoured methodology for the application of any type of mortar and finish coat,, developed over hundreds of years - Right to left for the floating coat and left to right for the scratch and finish coats (vise versa for a left handed plasterer). There is good reason for this. The first (scratch)coat can be applied to take out the more pronounced undulations in the stone/brickwork. Wavey lines should be used as these are longer than straight or crossed and provide a key (the mortar can be mechanically fixed to the previous coat) for the following floating coat, which makes the wall perfectly flat and plumb. the depth of the lines should not go deep to the wall(say 3mm) and I see no reason not to apply these with a Scratcher rather than the traditional cross hatching as there are a lot more "fixings". I also see no reason for the traditional cross hatching as this is authentic considering the age of the building and has worked for centuries.The float coat should be "rubbed up" using a cross grain devil float as this fills hollows and cuts off high spots with nails ( I used to use five" at the front to provide a key of a couple of mm deep to hold the finish coat.The right tools should be a quality trowel and devil float (both worked in), a good hawk and a straight edge. Again there is a time honoured method in floating (applying the backing coat to a wall) although for small panels this is unnecessary.Hope this helps.
