It's a wind up. He's too cocky and disrespectful toward the trade.

My guess is someone else will skim it. He'll claim it, then tell us how easy Plastering was

Just confident. I do respect the trade and you guys. I know how hard it is, need practice and knowledge to be perfect. But is rewarding to. In your trade,final product staying around for years, in mine going down to toilet after 6 hours.

Can't argue with that. Is it your first time plastering? Be good to see it and get your honest opinion

You’ll do peterthepole..........yup.............hope it all goes well.

Did you get it on then or what?

Btw, you'll be sorry if you use that flexi trowel on the walls that the sun shines down.

Not yet... I think I made the mistake and I try to do it all ceiling at ones. It was to big for the first timer. Till i get to opposite corner was to dry to trowel even with help of water and brush. Gonna do it again today.

The heat won't be helping. Harder than it looks eh. Appreciate the honesty

 

[lurpak]

It is very hard but I still have one week left to do it right. Walls will be easier I think.

Apparently so but I've always preferred ceilings

Good luck

Question guys:
It is ok to put some water in already mix multi finish in the bucket to make wet again?
Can I skim ceiling again today to flatten on those holes? What’s the best way ?

This thread made me chuckle. Any pics yet? Still don't know if I support or condemn you! I think vfr12 above me here is right.

Get a few smaller buckets filled with water mix smaller batches on the go so it won't go off at the same time, or put a roofing batten in the middle skim up to it, then remove the batten then skim other side, saves you killing yourself

 

[JessThePlasterer]

Wow I wasn’t actually expecting you to post pictures! Hats off for honesty and bravery!

It’s not at all bad for a first go. You could always use one fill and sand those bits later.

Smoothing your first coat and making it as flat as possible will help. You can add cream of tartare to the water before you mix to slow down the going off time in this heat. If you fill a spray bottle with water you can mist it over the plaster also to give yourself more time

37 minutes til the pub's open .... 37 long minutes.

I gonna skim all celling again today to cover all imperfections Gonna split on half with batten. Do I have to PVA first?
Plastered yesterday.
Or just patch the holes?

Why is that? The flexi trowel?

Because you won't scrape it flat properly. It'll probably look all right until you paint it, then when the Currant Bun shines down it, horror of horrors, it'll look awful.

What do you mean cream of tartar?

Not bad! Well done. Could pass for a bit of distressed polished plaster.
