Just skimmed 2 of the walls but I did get in a mess.plaster went everywhere.wish I hadn't of bothered now

Hi I'm looking to gain some experience plastering, is there anyone in the Gloucester area willing to let me tag along and just observe so I can pick up some pointers?

Well doing my house up at the beginning and hopefully when I'm good enough I can take on some jobs

I've just tried it again on another internal corner of 2 walls and within 20 mins there were cracks, but this time I gave it 2 coats of pva to make sure it was wet. It just seems to be corners of walls as all the other bits I did was fine

Who me? No just done a few diy jobs

Any news on Tapatalk? I need a way to add photos add photos without going on a pc

Sorry meant horizontal thin bits of wood, I gave it plenty of pva, it's just stone wall on one wall and those bits of wood on the other, the original plaster has crumbled showing bare brick. Don't want to call in a plasterer because a. I can't afford it and b. This is where I'm going to learn...

Anyone?

Just where the old wall has crumpled away showing the vertical slats on one wall and brick on the other, it's a corner of 2 walls

I have plastered a bonding coat over some damaged walls but about 2 hours later cracks started to appear in it. I gave it a good coat of pva. And it still seems to have a bit of moisture in it as it's still quite soft. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

That's supposed to be add

Tapatalk is brilliant, so much easier then having to keep zooming in and out, and there is no way to ask photos to the mobile site from a phone, I don't think

Ok thanks for the info

No? I thought that was the whole point so when you come to paint it, it will look awesome
