Hi Everyone, Welcome to my channel!
Every Tuesday I’ll bring you tutorials, tool reviews and vlogs all about plastering.
My name’s Anthony and I’m a third generation plasterer from Prestatyn in North Wales. I’ve been plastering since 1999 and I’ve had the fortune to have been taught by my dad. I want to help spread the knowledge that I’ve learnt and to keep developing my skills. Plastering is an ever evolving trade and I would love for you to join me on my journey.

Keep these limelite videos coming, I use this stuff a lot and more and more information and tips is very helpful
Great Video Anthony.
Doing a great job with these videos mate👍👍👍
Lovely work as always. 👌
Cheers bud
You make it look easy Anthony nice finish
Thanks Billy 👍
Very Nice Anthony. I'm about to throw my first high impact plaster. Thanks.
Thanks, Hope it helps 👍
Another cracking video. I'm now genuinely tempted by that trowel, if only to use with limelite! Save my nela and refina plastics for last flick on standard skim
Cheers bud, it did work a treat. It definitely made life a lot easier.
@@AnthonyParryPlasteringwhere do you get the Carta 101?
Bang on that mate
What's the name of that trowel you used please
@@allenmccormack24 cheers Allen, it’s called a carta 101 easyskim
I use plastic with the lime products we use, makes life so much easier.
It does make a big difference 👍
Hi Anthony,thanks for the upload..
The bag recommends flattening after 90min..Did you wait that long and is it advised with your experience?
Would i be ok using the refina plaziflex fot a similar finsh to what you're getting with the carta?
I'm using this material next week so any advice would be appreciated.
Hi Anthony, I’m finding these limelite videos a god send so thank you for sharing your tips and tricks with us. I have a lot of plastering to do on an old property so will be using limelite and high impact exclusively. When it comes to the final finish do you find that the Refina PLAZIFLEX which you used on your other renovating plaster vid gave you just as good a smooth and Matt finish or did the Carta 101 out perform it? About to invest in a plastic trowel but unsure which one. I will be using it on the high impact finishing. Thanks for helping
I use the Refina Plasiflex, which works great.
Hi can I have some advice, I use this skim all the time.and once I’ve gone over with a speedy skim and sometimes a sponge float. I find it bumpy in places. Where am I going wrong? Any tips?
Not jumping on seen enough I'd say
Can I ask why you would your limelite as opposed to hardwall or skim coat plaster? Thanks.
These are completely different products for different purposes. Why do you think you want to use limelite?
Quick Question, what are the working time's, from 2nd mix to finish trowel, is it like skim as in lay, flatten, Wet trowel, fat etc ?, I see your using a glove, is the material hard on the ✋, and how thick is the coat (mm) for 1 Coat Application, Great video, Never used the that system ( is it for old 🏠 with damp Problem's?
Hi George so it takes about 2 hours. It’s not like skim as you only put one coat on and you dont want to be adding water when you’re troweling. They reckon between 2-5mm thickness. It does help with damp because it’s a breathable material. Hope that helps 😀
Would this be comparable to USG Diamond veneer?
Is there any chance somebody at his first plastering attempt can do this? I'd like to skim coat some old lath&plaster walls
Did you wet the walls first?
Hi Anthony did you follow bag instructions and leave for 90 minutes before flattening? it looked you went over fairly soon
90 minutes isn't feasible but saying that the products purpose would still be affective whereas this method has completely nullified the products purpose and at £35 a bag for backing and same again for finish it's a lot of wasted money and materials. It isn't supposed to have a shine its breathable and is supposed to have a porous finish for salts and moisture to escape. A sign of it being ready to paint is when salts stop appearing, a glazed finish closes it up causing it to suffocate and send the salts and moisture back the other way. His lack of knowledge could cost people a lot of stress and money. Also, aftercare is very important and he should of advised on timings, correct paint and that it shouldn't be papered over for at least a year.
Do you always leave the renovating plaster til the next day before you put on the finish? Or can it be applied same day? Also what’s the longest you can leave the renovating plaster to skim before you need a primer?
I normally give it at least a day before putting the finish on. You can leave it for a few weeks before putting the finish on. Just check what the suction is like, give it a good spray of water until it gets controlled. I’ve never put the primer on the renovating plaster.
Hope that helps 👍
Top man!
what are the reasons for using this plaster please,
None. It's a cement based plaster despite the sales name ! Will make old buildings damper ! ☺
Scratch cost first ?
How much did u charge for that room big fella
Hey did you use limelite easybond before using finishing plaster? Let me know.
No this was straight onto the renovating plaster. I’m using the easybond after the new year. So I’ll do some videos on that once I’ve done it. 👍
@@AnthonyParryPlastering oh okay, I just wanted too know if it was a necessity as I’m using today over limelite without easybond.
@@jessehaze5754 how did it go with out? I’ve brought some, 1st time using it this week.
Was that over top of limelite renovating plaster?
Hi Sean yes it was over the limelite renovating plaster 👍
@@AnthonyParryPlastering did you dampen down the renovating plaster before applying finish
That’s great to know I used the steel trowel for years on limelite and was never really happy with the finish left it okay but not as good as what that carta 101 is doing
How are you finding it with the finish on the multi finish
The way I would explain it is. Because the trowel is plastic it’s not pulling any water out when you are troweling so it’s just compacting it rather than pulling the moisture out. So I don’t use any water when troweling.
It’s the same when using it with normal skim.
We usually sponge finish Limelite
I’ve never done that. But it all depends in what finish is best for you.
Nice job Ant 👍 so was that on top of normal sand and cement or on top of limelight renovating plaster? And also u don't use water like you would with normal skim cuz looked like u just kept on flattening it
Thanks Phil, this was on top of the limelite renovating plaster. I don’t think there would be any point in using this with normal sand and cement
I don’t use any water when troweling, I only use water to clean the corners and edges 😀
👍
