I Was Plastering Curves Wrong Until I Mastered THIS METHOD...

Great you are back Blaine

Brilliant

Great video Blane. It’s great to see you back on the channel. Ps I hope you and the family are well.

Nice and simple… even this old concrete warrior may give it a go! Great vid mate.

Nearly completed my house following your guides ….you makes things look so easy 😂…. My first wall looked like night mare on elm street 😂… definitely getting better ….. still getting a few waves on my walls … I’m doing this bit… nice timing with the video 👌👍🏼

Class, love your channel.. It has helped many people.

Hi Blaine thanks for the vid could you do a video on curved ceilings in like a living room and if you need a certain size trowel to fit in the curve and to get the corners that curve in and curve out on the chimney breast ceiling

Ok I get it for ease but trust me fiber tape will crack ok on drywall and only on walls internal cnrs on a clng no chance give it six months or and you will see it will move and crack try it in NZ and you can put your tools back in the bucket

great video, I did one curved ceiling myself once , thinkinking it will be alright, as you said no it won't as plaster gets to thick and it didn't look that great, live and learn.

Been plastering 47 years and always formed the curves with the finishing plaster, it works every time if you know what you're doing.

Blaine the man is back missed you mate

Yeah always better to form your curves in bonding, I always staple or put some drywall screws into my scrims, because the weight of the plaster sometimes pulls the scrims down😩

Palladio never made straight ceilings. Arched ceilings reflect light best.

👌💪

Heel and toe 👍

Hey Blaine, I've messaged before saying this but I've really enjoyed your videos over the years! They've really helped me become self taught & now getting a cracking finish, mainly for bits around the house 👍🏼 thanks mate! 👏🏼

Good to see you back. Love your videos and have learned so much. Thanks to you. You've helped so many people. Respect

Great work as always mate good to see you back but @6.32 lay of the Chaplin while at work though lol or at least wipe your tash!

How about nailing a stop bead top and bottom of curve … get a curve form cut and run it along ..
then do the whole ceiling

Hi, thank you for the priceless info you have passed over allowing me to confidently put 300 bags of k rend on my bungalow.
I have a question for you. Is it possible to skim onto osb3 board?
Thanks again

It works better on the way back because your wrist movement is more restricted so it's less of an angle and you have better wrist controll on the way back because the wrist can be locked more firmly.

If you get a bat- coving tool, and you know how to use it, every curve will match.

Im having a new kitchen fitted. Removed all the okd cupboards, to find i having rising damp. Ive inserted dry rods all round. Ive also taken off the cement render off the walls back to brick. I cant wait months for it all to dry out, so would you recommend using foil backed plasterboard or insulated tile backer board before plastering? Thanks
