I've been watching video after video of bonding and skimming and honestly this is the best explanation yet, no one has explained how to hold the trowel to spread the plaster like you! Thanks 😊
Your suppose to apply undercoat Plaster like Render, it's like your skimming there and also start Top to Bottom ? working right to left with undercoat Plaster or Render ? Skimming is Left to right ?
Ted Burt thanks for your comment, I was applying bonding coat, then 2 coats of multifinish , I did explain in the demo.. I normally always start at the top but if you look closely I don't need too.
Hi thanks for the reply, the guy who quoted me I found off rated people and he wants around 3300 to board up ceilings and skim and to avoid knocking all plaster off and reboarding he said apply the bonding on where the plaster is crap and then reskim. If I want all the plaster off and then boarded and reskimmed it's an extra £1000. I'm doing this property to do up and sell not to live in...I'm not sure what qualifications to look for as I don't think he has any to show.
we have 3 bedrooms, hallway, landing, living room and kitchen - all ceilings are going to be boarded and then the walls will be stripped and skimmed - any bad plaster he will knock off and fill with bonding. Would you say this is acceptable?
Michael Burr Hi mate, best to bond the boards were they meet at the arch and round off, if you have a straight edge you can use this to merge the wall and ceiling in to one.
i just removed wallpaper off walls and i was quoted to have the walls bonded and then skimmed - is this cheaper than having all the plaster removed and then dabbed and skimmed?
Nevindhar Singh I can’t comment as I can’t see your walls, the person you have had to look at your property I’m guessing is a certified professional so should give you the correct information. Don’t alway go for the cheapest you’ll regret it in the long run...
If the walls smooth enough for a multi finish on to stop the dry suction on walls I I stablizer the walls first with a sandtex water based primer sealer then a couple of coats of pva on top of sealer. Trust me mate you get more play time with the plaster
Can u tell me how I can get more time out of multi .boarded a ceiling first coated 7 metres flattened it's started to go off second coated no time to play with it abbonded it hav to go back tomorrow pva and start all over again all brand new plaster board all multi in date I heard I can put creme of tartar in mix what is the rachio thank u micky
Hello mate I'm bonding my blocked fireplace area on the chimney breast section in my living room .it's been bricked up (brick on edge).. before bonding can I apply just water to the brick or do i need pva? Also after bonding If I can get it flat enough can I wallpaper over that? Thanks
Hi you will need pva, some corner beads then apply bonding, then I would suggest multifinsh on top of the bonding to give a smooth flat finish, the wallpaper needs a smooth background.
You said your using bonding because that wall will suck the moisture from one coat plaster so why couldn't you just PVA it then skim it ? I thought bonding was for holes, building up and leveling walls for skim ?
roy ratcliff the walls were really uneven with holes & High spots, the wall has been previously tiled & the top area wasn’t in line, the substrate was a mixture of concrete brick adhesive so I need to have a backing plaster to give a better even suction rate, would have been better to use blue grit first but I couldn’t get any, but I still would put a coat of bonding on first like I did then a finish coat with 5mm skim coat.
@@whiterinteriors blue grit is supposed to be a good product. A friend of mine used PVA and a splash of kiln dried sand on his ceiling then the next day skimmed it he said it worked well. His version of blue grit I suppose.
I don't think I explained my self property when skimming plaster boards ceiling it seems to go off in no time at all second coated it it started to go off no time to work it this has happened a few times I must be doing something wrong can u help it was hard work I do appreciate your help micky
MR V your best to use hard wall for a heavy coat, bonding is more for a backing coat for a skimming to be applied on. If you apply to heavy a bonding cost it will slump
Thanks for filming this vertically - makes it easier to see through my medieval helmet
Watching it through your knob?
I agree. After a hard days jousting i just want to settle down for a plastering video before i take off my suit of armour.
@@ivornackers9564 haaaa nice one
@@ivornackers9564 I do plastering in a suit of armour.

Thank you for your kind comments, although this was a very thin coat of bonding .
Do I round it with a bottle or template or just free hand also were the wall meets the rake do I need it to bead it
Good idea .. cheers
Got a wall that is 2metres long when I put a straight up it goes in 2ins in the middle what is best way to level it micky
What's the name of the bonding plaster you are using?

Were the wall meets the rake in the loft to keep a straight line is it best to angle bead it Micky

Nev Singh how many rooms?
I would go with the first suggested estimate, hall stairs landing is almost class as 3 rooms.
we have 3 bedrooms, hallway, landing, living room and kitchen - all ceilings are going to be boarded and then the walls will be stripped and skimmed - any bad plaster he will knock off and fill with bonding. Would you say this is acceptable?
You have been given a good price
Thank u micky
Can u help me just boarded a loft out doing the up and over soon what is the best way to do the barrel part is it skim or bonding micky

How you.flat that out ?you used father adge ?
What is the best way to make multi last longer I been told extra time also cream of tartar micky
Michael Burr put on the wall or ceiling only as much as you can handle, put PVA to stop the moisture on the porous walls
Hi there do I apply PVA on to the wall first before bonding or mix it in the mixture
Immy Shakey always apply 2 coats of pva so it stops dust & the walls drawing the plaster out too quick.
Can u tell me how I can get more time out of multi .boarded a ceiling first coated 7 metres flattened it's started to go off second coated no time to play with it abbonded it hav to go back tomorrow pva and start all over again all brand new plaster board all multi in date I heard I can put creme of tartar in mix what is the rachio thank u micky
Michael Burr you don’t need time to play with 7 meters.
See my other videos , look at the video I applied in 13 minutes
Extra time will give you an extra 60 mins. But wouldnt advise ot for a 7 meters squared

@@whiterinteriors oh ok . I like to ask questions I'm trying to learn as much as possible. Good vids keep them coming
roy ratcliff thank you for comments, I know use blue grit from Feb bond, apply to all surface that has high suction, leave over night.
@@whiterinteriors blue grit is supposed to be a good product. A friend of mine used PVA and a splash of kiln dried sand on his ceiling then the next day skimmed it he said it worked well. His version of blue grit I suppose.
roy ratcliff PVA is water soluble & reactivate when it gets wet , blue grit is water proof

Michael Burr maybe your not putting enough on the first coat, normally you can put a whole Bag on in one go.
Or maybe your not mixing it up correctly.
hi mate. can i apply 2 coats of bonding plaster up to a thickness of approx. 20mm??
MR V your best to use hard wall for a heavy coat, bonding is more for a backing coat for a skimming to be applied on.
If you apply to heavy a bonding cost it will slump
so 2 coats (approx 20mm total thickness) of thistle hardwall - followed by 2 coats of multi-finish would be ok on a interior brick wall???
thanks.
That isn't bonding lol
Yes it is. I've just used the Same it's called Thistle BondingCoat.
this aint bonding plaster fool
