Plastering For Beginners - Jak na to + styl
Absolutely brilliant. Clearly spoken, with no stupid rock music! Well done and thank you.
Thank you very much!!
ahahah I can recognise plastering videos from their music. :) Sadly we don't have Britisch Gipsum in EU... Can't find the equivalent/similar here...
You a better teacher than my boss, thanks to you im not gonna get fired
Unless your boss reads this 😏
Lool
🤣😂
Blaine, I just wanted to say thank you for your efforts with your tutorials. I have undertaken many handyman projects over the years, kitchens, bathrooms, tiles, cupboards etc but I was scared of plastering. Your tutorials provided me the confidence to undertake some plastering work and eventually the confidence to buy a run down cottage in Wales (a dream of mine) and start renovating it. I have just finished ripping out an entire lathe and plaster ceiling (which was sagging badly), fitting new 5 x 2 joists, reboarding it and plastering the ceiling. My first ever attempt at a ceiling. Without your input I would likely never have my dream cottage, or a new lifestyle and I can't thank you enough. Your efforts don't just provide people with skills, but in this case really contributed to a whole new home in a whole new, and lovely place and a new start in life in a wonderful adventure in rural Wales. I have returned to the UK from South Africa and my wife will join me shortly in our new home. Your efforts have contributed significantly to the success of the project.. !!!
Thank you so much. You explained the process very well. I'm 70 and am going to plaster a small utility room while my husband is away overseas but I think I'll have to watch your video a few times first.
Really appreciate all the videos you put up mate. Great info with for anyone to take on. Im a builder and have been plastering for many years (defo not pro level), mainly small walls. Your tips and tricks have really helped me up my game. Thanks
Really appreciate the slower teaching here especially the trowel techniques.
I knew that would be something I would struggle with as a first timer. Thanks for making this video!!
All I can say is that your videos are really clear and informative. Moved intomy house that needs redeveloping throughout and done a couple of rooms but got a plasterer in. I really like my DIY and would be proud to say "I done all this" with more jobs so as everything is getting more expensive I am going to give the plastering a go myself and starting in a small closet. Missed out on a chance for the email tutorials but want to thank you for your advice, help, tips and clear demonstrations. HERE GOES !!!!
How'd it go Derek?
Just wanted to say thank you so much to Blaine. The variety of great videos, advice and honest walk throughs has helped me learn so so much. I watched most videos again and again as I always miss bits and it’s always a pleasure coming back to the channel. Understanding how plaster reacts and works isn’t something you can read in a book. My first attempt after 2 weeks of near non stop watching vids and buying correct tool (love the speedskim) turned out really well and friends tell me it looks like a pro did it. Blaine is a true diamond, I offered to donate as a thank you and wouldn’t accept any money. I’ll be coming back again and again to these vids as I do more renovations and am looking forward to future vids. Absolutely great teacher. Words can’t describe. Peace and love
what a nice bloke, blaine is what makes youtube great, these are the guys who always have lots of work lined up, would certainly employ him as a plasterer
Been doing this a few years now as a novice and I'm not too bad now. This is a good tutorial for beginners. Thanks for dedicating the time to explain the techniques. To all those who thumbed it down let's see you explain it any better!
After watching this about five times I skimmed my first wall after removing some original blown plaster. It looks a bit patchy drying out, but it’s smooth and flat. There are a few bits that will need filling, but the edges are all good. It’s getting papered anyway, and I’m pleased with the result. Next job is an upstairs loo over plasterboard, which should be easier.
If that turns out OK I’ll have saved about £700, so cheers for the video.
I’ve plastered 15 years and your tuition is mint .you put it on that well one coat would have been good but 2 is always best.I never work out the bucket anymore I put it on a spot board hip high saves a hell a lot of work as you get older.it’s a hard game
Plaster from California never understood working out of a bucket l would not be in this trade 45 years working that way we refer to your spot as a mud board
One the best plastering learning video I have seen, you are really great teacher. I am not going to be a professional but just wanted to do this myself in one of my rooms, I see that preparation is also very important and that practice your tips and tricks will get me there. I don't mind paying some professional to do this but I like this task and wanted to do this myself - learning keeps us going. Thanks for your video! I have subscribed and liked it!
We need more people like you on here. Brilliant video I learnt a lot already. Thankyou
Thank you mate! That means a lot 😊
So true
Nice one mate, lots of useful info. Will get the rest of the course.
What a helpful video.. I've done a few plastering jobs and was pleased with the results, after watching this I'm keen to have another go!..Great stuff mate. You know your trade!
Thank you mate and well done for succeeding in your plastering projects! Good stuff pal and thanks again for watching 👍
As a time served tradesman mainly in plumbing and carpentry ..I now teach practical skills in secondary schools in UK.
I have plastered on few occasions..since I've been diagnosed with the c ..I have months off work doing nowt...I'm hooked on your videos ...the old school tools and the new tools you have talked about I'm looking to up my skills on plastering...I managed to plaster my walls before op...
When I'm up and running I'd love to spend a day with you just to pick on site tips...

Great video, you're a natural teacher mate. You go through all of the bits, the things to practice, the tools the terminology, I feel like a plasterer already and ive only just watched the video!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that - it means the world to me 👍
Great tutorial. Thank you for your time and effort to make it and share it with the world.
Greetings from Croatia.
Great tutorial and tips. Thanks for this. 👍🏻
Very good video. I have learned a lot.
Cheers mate.
"Don't mess with the electricians ... or they will chase you down"😂
Thanks a lot my friend - it's great to hear that you're finding my content useful! Haha they are evil 😂
Electricians a.k.a. the guys who always forget or do something wrong but they come to fix it when the walls are plastered, sanded and painted. Fools.
Thanks again Blaine for another awesome video and you explain it really good for people that are just starting out learning to plaster thanks again Blaine
Brilliantly taught...such a great video for beginners thank you...
loads of info for a beginner and looks less messy would definitely have a go and take your points. thanks for the video
Thank you for the comment and good luck ☺️
Thank you, Blaine!! I learned more from you than anyone else.
Thank you for watching! Glad to hear it’s helped you 👍
Your explanation and pointing out the important stuff is awesome!! Every plaster should see this, thanks!
Brilliant! Naturally good at teaching this type of thing, very good
I have recently been on a course and got myself a unpaid plastering job soon and found your video most helpful! I have subscribed now and going to use your videos till I get confident in my practise. Thanks so much!
Good on you and well done my friend! Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing your results in the future 😉
Very helpful video for beginners thanks.
Fantastic tutorial. Really appreciate the effort you went to here!! Thank you
You're a great teacher: clear and specific, detailed and with a good pace.
And on top of that, well sexy! Thanks for this tutorial.
Agreed, very sexy.
You're supposed to find woman sexy you fools.
Very nice presentation. Great advice in very calming manner. And the beauty of plastering if you mess it up just let it dry and do it again 🤭
It took me a very long time to be a decent plasterer i went from being a labourer to polishing to flattening out to putting on working backwards works well noing how to use a trowel and how it works is the key not putting on straight away but this fella is the only pro plasterer on here what noes what there doing
i'm a plasterer of many years, i could'nt have explained it better,, your work is clean and tidy, great job
How do plasterers skim large high hallways without the plaster going off i heard half at a time.
Thank you so much for the video. Both of your videos I watched have been great for me who has never plastered before
Not a problem pal, thank you for watching! Glad you liked it and thank you for the support! Cheers 👍
Thank you ...I'm.going on a course in a couple of weeks. I really found your video helpful...cheers
Not a problem mate. Thank you so much for watching!!
Awesome vlog, learnt so much and inspired me to plaster a wall and then another. I’m going to try and plaster a small room next!😀😀
Well done my friend - keep up the good work 👍
At 16:30 you make this look SO EASY :) Well done and thanks for sharing your skills. I'm a sparks and really just interested in "having a go" at home but anything that encourages learning a trade is great.
it is easy :) remember to keep those wires tucked in for us plasterers
Utterly brilliant, your course are the sole reason I'm now confident taking on small plastering jobs on.
Jobs I used to call others to do, I now complete with confidence and the finished results are very good!.
What was the job? I’m still not sure why this man is plastering a perfectly good wall. I recently had some contractor do some patchwork on our apartments bathroom where there were holes in some areas. Plastered and painted.
I recently purchased the online plastering course and today is the first chance I've had to put it to the test. 2 valuable lessons learnt
first being don't use cheap buckets as the bloody thing cracked as I was near the top of the stairs resulting in a bucket of muck tumbling everywhere.
Second is you have more time than you think when working with plaster. I'd plastered one wall and had loads left over so I started a second and flitted between the 2 and I'm really happy with the results. Thanks once again Blaine for the videos!
Hi mate, thanks for getting the course. I really appreciate it! Haha this made me laugh since that happened to me when I started - was it a £1 B&Q bucket by any chance ha??
That's great that you managed to get 2 walls on at the same time - sounds like you nailed it pal. Hope it still continues to go the same way and thanks again for going for it. Cheers pal 👍
It was a B & Q bucket 😂
Brilliant 😂
@Lee Hollebon hello mate, I've found it a really good and useful start to plastering. My reason for buying was to save money on our extension and I've certainly done that. Although my walls aren't perfect every one I've done has been better than the last. Blaine does some great videos on you tube and I would recommend his on line course.
You sir, have positively influenced me. So helpful and carefully produced. May I add that the timing couldn’t be more perfect! Thank you. Kind Regards.
Thank you mate! I'm glad to hear that you found it useful 👍
This video is so good! No bullshit music or time lapse just clear descriptIon, thankyou x
I just muddled my way through one side of stud wall seperating 2 bedrooms, the 2nd side will be loads better i feel!
Thank you sir. Great tutorial. I learned a lot from you for my new place. From Singapore, cheers!
Great hearing from you and thanks for watching! Good luck 🤞
Cheers fella! best tuition and easy stages well explained!!!
Excellent video, explanation, tips. Currently building a media wall and all walls and ceiling need plastering. Been debating getting a plasterer in but after your videos im going to give it a go. Worried about attempting the ceiling but will watch your videos lots more time and do the ceiling and one wall at a time. Thanks again man, great content. 👍
How'd it go? Want to try myself but had someone shit all over that idea by telling me they watched someone they knew try and failed.
Great video, very detailed. I've heard plaster mix described vicariously as the consistency of yoghurt, crème fraiche and now thanks to your angel delight. 👍🔥
Haha that's the one mate!!
This has got to be the best video I’ve watched for beginners 👏👏 I’ve never plastered before but I am going to attempt plastering my toilet ceiling. I’ve removed all the artrex/texture. You’ve really given me the confidence that I can do this 🫣 I’m going to save your video and play/pause as I go! If you want I’ll post a before and after, don’t be afraid to criticise as I really want to learn. Thank you 👍 Caroline, over 60 from UK 🇬🇧 and getting the job done ✅🤣
Thank you Caroline! I really appreciate that - it means a lot to me!! I’d love to see your results and I wish you luck. You can do this 👍👍
outstanding teaching my friend shout out to ya definitely learn a lot today
Thank you it was very well presented. I now find it easier. I will practice. Thanks buddy.

I have a whole house to plaster
Thanks very much
How were the results?
great job .. just found your channel ..... so happy!!!
Ha cheers pal!!
Very good step to step guide to plastering. Well informing, all I now need is some plaster, tools and buckets.
And a wall.
Watched some of your videos and plastered two long walls due to budget! Not perfect, but very good first attempt according to a plasterer (that I hired to do harder walls)! Thank you for your videos, much appreciated. Huge respect for the profession.
Thank you for watching and respect for trying. All the best pal 👍
I seen a few plastering videos on here yours been the best yet. Great insight and helpful tips, keep up the good work...
Thank you mate. I really appreciate that 👍
Very well explained your top quality plasterer 👌
Hi enjoyed this video. Haven't plastered for a few years now, good refresher.
Larry.
Thanks mate - I hope the Plastering goes well and thanks again for watching!
Blaine. You're a fantastic educator mate. I came away really understanding the key points you were trying to get across.
Brilliant.

This was so instructive....with everything explained and the reason for it. Many thanks. Regards from sunny Spain
Thank you for watching my friend - I really appreciate your kind words 👍
Thank you, very inspiring , you´re clearly a professional plasterer
Thank you for watching!!
Great video thanks for your work and skill 👏👏👏
Hi Blaine, just wanted to say a massive Thankyou. Your videos gave me the confidence to tackle my spare room. Two walls down and my arms hurt like …. But I’m so happy with the result so far. Plenty of lessons learned (like how quickly the plaster goes off in the bucket 😂). Two more walls to go but at least I know what’s possible. Best of luck to you for the future and thanks again 😊
Well done my friend! It’s great to hear that it’s helped and thank you for watching. I really appreciate it…cheers 👍
Failure
Hi mate .. just want you to know how grateful I am to you making these videos. I put myself through a plastering course , work with my mate and he try’s to wind me at every stupid little point , says things like “only a time served plasterer can master that” ,when it’s just skimming walls I’VE done 😂 and he’s been off , just stupid little things BUT see the tips from yourself and all the added little plastering lingo has done me proud. Thank you
Please please keep making videos
Thank you for watching and well done for your perseverance! Respect my friend 👍
Very good teacher you are showing slowly to make me understand
Very handy tips , thank you very much.
Thank you for watching mate!
Thank you for good lesson, o always wanted to learn about some of these work,as by doing it myself it will obviously save some money.
Thanks for the introduction man , explanation was on point and easy to follow Thanks you 👍🏻
Thank you!
I've subscribed. I have a house where at least two walls need plastering, so your video will be very helpful when I actually get round to doing them. I'll of course watch your other uploads meanwhile! Thank you
Thanks for watching mate and I really appreciate you subscribing. All the best with the house and I look forward to hearing your results in the future! Cheers 👍
Excellent tutorial. Will try it out
You’re a very good teacher! Thanks.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it 👍
Youre a better teacher compared to the others! Tks!!
Thank you mate. I really appreciate that 👍
This the best video I’ve seen on plastering, nice one mate
Thank you very much .The great video for me and I will do follow up.👍👍👍👍👍
Not a problem mate!! Thanks for watching 👍
Great video ... excellent tips
The first time I did a stucco patch I watched videos for hours and prepared everything. Put it on the hawk all excited to start went to put it on my trowel and plop. Straight on the ground. Took a couple times to get the technique lol

Fantastic video, thank you!
Hi Blaine. I’m not a plasterer / good start.I’m a handyman doing different small jobs.Plasters x 2 arrived on a job to replace some drywall that was damaged in a kitchen. The board was cut / scrim tape applied/ then mixed Plaster of Paris powder into the bonding and plastered over the scrim.
Apparently according to them/ it dries quick and doesn’t crack or shrink.
Great tips, thanks for video, wish I'd have found this a month ago!
yo bro, you let me learn plastering (like all the others who makes videoś, but you were the only one who teached me to speed myself up, very good tips! thanx from nijmegen
great teaching , thanks
very helpful video just wish i could plaster as good as you keep up the great vids
Awesome work mate good watch
What a legend what a class tutorial, when would a beginner use a float..or at what stage would that come in
I think my plaster was a bit dry but may first go so not bad. Thanks Blaine great video. watched several and this is a good one!
I’ve been plastering for over 15 years. I see a lot of videos on CZcams that are absolute nonsense. This is not 1 of them. This is how to plaster to the nvq textbook. Been wanting to teach the labourer but been to busy. This video will be the perfect watch for him.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate that pal - hope your labourer liked it 👍
This is an unreal video mate. Fair play
Thanks mate I really appreciate that! Cheers!
Love your videos
Probs the best instruction for beginners I've seen..
I'm a floor layer by trade and use a lot of feather finish on ply and solid floors.
And it's a similar thing.
Granted I've got gravity on my side 😁.
But it's still a total skill and art to get it right.
And this is a belter to get you going..
Nice one mate..🙌
Thank you very much. I ready appreciate that - thanks guy watching and all the best 👍
Thanks I need this gonna be starting a new job plastering well thanks again
Great job. Appreciate
Great video tried my first wall after watching, give myself 8/10 will do 2nd coat tomorrow. one piece of advise don't wear a baseball cap or if you do put it on backwards!
2nd coat tomorrow :/?
Never do 2nd coat the next day ,it’s just like starting again
Thanks a lot,,very very useful video 👍
