Despite having seen it so many times, I will never stop being amazed by the pink plaster, something unique of the UK and unheard of everywhere else in the world.
There is red gypsum from Texas that we used to use back in the early 1990s to plaster when the Southwest look was popular. Not so any more. Grays and sandy browns are popula now. Or bright white. We usually we use normal white finish plaster and use a 1-2 gallon latex paint tint formula per 4.5 gallon pail of mixed plaster to achieve the desired color of plaster. Seal it with Ocon, or wax. Or both.
Been pretty tough going on my end. Back to back work for months and months. Steadying out now thankfully. Hoping to get back to the weekly’s moving forward. Thanks so much for your patience and support.
@@AlexMorleyPlastering I am currently plastering an entire house as an experienced DIYer and the first wall came out great but isn't completely flat. Do you have advice or tips on the technique to flatten the wall nicely please Alex? The look at the wall looks great, nice and neat and smooth surface but has some ripples where I simply didn't flatten properly. I'd really benefit from guidance on how much pressure and what angle is best for the trowel at the different stages please 👍🏻
Great video Alex and something I have always wondered about. One question you mention spat and speedskim. Can you use the Speedskim for both flattenings if needed? Or is a metal blade better for second flatten?
Hello. I watch your videos and want to ask a question. Do you putty the walls before painting? Do you then treat them with abrasive paper or prime and paint them immediately? You don't paint the walls yourself, do other people do it? It would be useful for me to have answers to your questions. Thank you
In the UK plasterers apply a gypsum based product which leaves a hard smooth like shell over the walls which can be painted directly onto no sanding required.
Thanks for the answer. And then do you paint the walls? And regarding the drywall joints, I see that you do not use special putties for drywall joints, but seal everything with a multifinish with mesh. Is it reliable? Do the cracks not appear later? We putty the drywall joints with Knauf uniflot putty and then glue fiberglass or tape for kurt joints from Knauf or other manufacturers. Thank you @@AlexMorleyPlastering
Any tips on how to take the swelling out of the bristles on my good splash brush? I don't want to trim it down because it is new enough. I have it soaking in a bucket of clean of water to see if it helps. Thanks for the videos
I have the same issue. Best suggestion keep one brush for cleaning only. And another as a splash brush that you don’t wipe on the wall. That way it will last ages. It’s the constant scrubbing when cleaning with them which matts them up.
Crocs…. Comfort in the old age. SS. Just breaking on in for the channel tbh. Will be changing it again at some point. Great spot with your eagle eyes. 😎💪
@AlexMorleyPlastering I'm just messing budd keep the content coming your videos are grate, Us plasterers got them sharp Eagle eyes 😂😂 have a good one Alex All the best Liam
@@user_unknown1488 yeah definitely not for flattening 👍 that would replace one problem for another. The plazzi does get the moisture off the wall though.
Too bad your beautiful work will get painted! Maybe pick up lime plastering because a beautifully finished lime plaster doesn't need painting. Thanks for the tips!
Why is this so important if it gets painted? Maybe some people like the raw dog plaster look? 👀 surely it doesn’t show through a few coats of quality paint?

Loved the brutal honesty of the last tip. Another good vid mate I’m learning a lot from you. Thanks man you’re a legend
Thanks for your feedback on the video and sticking to the end. The support for the channel is much appreciated
Small bit of bonding in mix gives lovely colour
This has really helped with my plastering as well as timings betwen coats plus when to begin wet trowelling. Also when to pilish right towards the end
Excellent video, Great advice
Great vid Alex especially the last 987th tip

I use the spat for both. I just close the plaster in on the second before doing the first wet trowel.

@@AlexMorleyPlastering cheers mate
Nice vid
@8:20 🚪 👻
Freshly laid on plaster is one of the most beautiful colours. Shame when its starts going off and goes darker.
So nice I hunted down a very close shade and painted the walls with it haha
@@wr3099😂 I don’t blame you it’s a great colour. We get loads of customers that say they want to keep it that colour.
Crocs ? Stainless steel trowel ? what's going on here
Crocs…. Comfort in the old age.

A plastic trowel can help with the colour too
