so skimming this small utility room and they do the full video on this every every single step
right through with no voiceover i have been asked to do a voiceover and explain certain stages so
obviously this is stage one plasterboard has all been completed all the scene's been boarded walls
are that dabbed here so a bit of a mess it will need cleaned up very important guys to have a
clean work earlier before you start so really preparation to be done here some preparation
has been done while the boards were dabbed such as there was a conduit there and it was
already filled in with compound and similary gap along the top just felt pre-filled with compound
but as you can see i need to clean up
still a bit of prep before we start skimming mostly everything is plasterboard which does help
but you can see down this joint here it is some exposed blocks so i'm going to want to
satisfy under that really devil floated ready for skin but really going to need to get this area
clear first also this floor will be getting screeded up level to the existing floor
so as you can see quite a bit of step but again i like to leave any screen work to the very end
and i have all these electrics taped up here so that anything falls down into them won't cause any
problems again would be better to switch off all the electric guys and make sure it's safe for use
before getting any wet plaster doing it concrete head along the top there and as you know i always
say get the dust off guys that's why i'm showing is the brush across it but that concrete head
will need some either sbr or bva painted onto it just before we actually start throwing on satsuma
and the screen taping will happen after that name i'll show you that again once once i'm on that
stage so just mixing up the sentence man this mix was either a three to one or a four to one
probably four to one because it's just the one code for skin code after i do have videos on
that as well guys if you're you're new you'll be seeing this channel for the first time there is
plenty of videos on heart assault cement walls ready for skin and just even outside work
exterior blossom so obviously i don't need much so i'm just mixing it with an old bucket
with a defender mega mixer no need to pull out the belly mixer and make a big mess out
of there just just crack away with the drill and you can also see the pva there that i've i've used
since this gave me you may want your transmit a little bit stiffer than what i have done here
and let me tighten this up a wee bit before i start it's not actually a heavy coat i'm
doing but if you are doing something heavier you may want to just stiffen it up a bit i just add
the same ratios of ingredients that you're going for whether it's four or one or three to one so
now that i have it mixed and i'm happy just gonna start coating and some people want to start on
the opposite sides and maybe that's okay but the main thing is to get it on and make sure there's
no trap there are behind and hopefully you've done all your preparation right by letting down
bricks can see if wet down the right-hand side and i would have deviated this concrete head
previous solder sensor bonus with it you can actually see a couple of cardboards are just
covered but the reason the pec sats meant here is i sort of wanted to be solid and it could have
bonded this i don't think there's much risk of damp there and i'm also going to use hard wall and
the next browning anything like that for the news as well but again it sounds meant to me i have it
um so i'm happy enough to use it and it gives me a chance to show you guys just a small small amount
of sounds preparation to skim it so basically the idea here is get it all well pushed in
and then straighten it up and then we'll we'll finish it off ready for skin which i call devil
flute and also just a couple other things how to keep the corners nice and neat and for skilling
believe it or not cements one of them things that if you don't clean it off it'll be rock hard the
next day but if you you know you purposely didn't clean it off it would be very soft the next day
it's just one of the things that seems to do the opposite of what you want sometimes
so um but they're always better to clean off their magnets i'll show you that up close
and get a nice bit of detail on it but basically get your whole wall coated
and you know i always sort of if i do drop stuff i always pick it up again
but i think i've more than enough in this pocket to do this track and
the beauty about what i'm doing here is because i'm just patching it up i still have the reveals
in the inside and actually the edge of them as well so i'm able to use them as my room and that's
that's the amount i need to fill out to so it's kind of made it easy for myself we could have went
ahead and chipped all that off but it wasn't boast and it was very very solid so there's no point
giving yourself extra work if it doesn't need to come off you can go over it it's no problems
and if i was partners i would have to cut back my soft cement around the edge
to leave room for the skim coat to fall into but the plans don't re-skim the whole lot so i can
come out flush which makes it easier again and then i can fit bait and re-skin the whole lot so
making life easy because plaster is hard enough as it is it's definitely the way to go guys you
may also notice that the sockets are up high and that's because there will be a countertop
being fitted there so obviously they're kind of top sockets and just in case anybody's wondering
why there's so many switches up high um so that that's the reason but yeah once all your sounds
meant on it'll be time to straighten it up and you can straighten sans mount straight away as
soon as you get in get it on or you can let it pull in a little bit but i do prefer as
soon as i get mine on especially i want to be better straightened literally instantly
and again the beauty about this is you could almost straighten this whole thing with just
a trowel because i'm working off the original but i would recommend checking your angles with
a level or a big straight edge a six foot straight edge and potentially checking along the top angle
just to make sure it's straight because if you do have any hooks in the corners your skin coat's
going to follow that as you must remember your skin coat's only about three mil thick so it's
going to follow what whatever your preparation is so that's why preparation for blessing is vital
so i always give them a two little bee scrape in between things which make it easier for washing
sound cement doesn't set as quick as finished or balding unless as i'd say the sun it will set very
quickly to your trials there so as promised guys straight edging part and as you can see
i'm working off the original there pulling up just as if i would if it was a rule and
same along the top just using a small level for it and which fits in good for up and down
so obviously if these beads needed bonded out or stuck stuck on heavy you could maybe do that first
and and work your shot and smed there to be a bit more but i prefer just to stick the beads
on later on and fill out the end if i need to so it wasn't actually that hard to straighten at all
and again like i say do try and check it with something full length and that will give you
a better indication how straight that angle really is and you notice as well where i'm
standing so i can look at it and see if there's any voids again then videos are on the channel
really really detailed if you're interested in with sounds mountain walls and then skimming them
there there so now that you have any hollows you can fill them out just let me to anyone up here
again something so small you could sort of go nice and heavy nice and fat on it and
cut it all back then so you're not really helping the fill personally i do like to
build out gradually other than trying to do it all in what one subscriber was telling me that
they kind of agree with that method today as they were streaming on the wall before
and it was a bit heavy and it all just slumped down on them and literally at the same time
the customer walked in and asked them does that usually happen so he was a wee bit embarrassed
and he did rack the fat thing about blasting guys if if you're brave enough to make mistakes
then you're going to do well because if you don't make mistakes you'll never learn so you're going
to learn from your mistakes and not that what he's doing is a mistake it's just sometimes you go too
heavy the sentence meant it can fall out because it's it's wet and it's heavy so again why stiffer
may be better if something's heavy but yeah back to the point is that if it falls out guys it's
okay push it back in put it in a wee bit later let it tighten up and put another weak coat over it
that's kind of the sort of methods i prefer when i'm straightening up i prefer to tan get it all
on perfect and i'm going to cut it right okay i've missed here here and here fill out cut back again
but you can see that i'm really trying to put a bit of detail into the the angles and the reason
for that is is plastering around your beads your angles around sockets and around skirting these
are all things that are going to show off for being bad and when it is taken up now is
the time for the float so this is important guys don't don't think you can skip this part this is
gonna help your skim coat grip in now i know a lot of companies don't stand over sound cement anymore
as they wanted to use their product for the undercoat and not the cheap satin cement version
but i've never had any issues with myself smell so you know again hard wall grid yes this pro
preferably would have been better in hardware because i could skim the same day
but i got time so i don't need to panic and again if you're here watching this chances are you're a
beginner or you're still picking up on the trade so that's the beauty of it and this is what i'm
talking about to be trip check guys is to make sure you clean these corners after you float
very very important you can see i go over a couple times what you're doing there is you're scraping
off any excess off the ceiling and then we come this way you're also dropping it down off the
scene and you're cutting it and you're you're if you did cut in really deep in your render when you
go back along the render you're actually cleaning it up again you're pushing it back in flat
so it doesn't really matter what way you did you can do it a couple of different ways but i think
just striking the trail up and down clean the same corners lovely for skin and again
even though i'm clean this probably before i screamed hip i could possibly run my child down
at the game the next day next day or two just to make sure but you definitely do want to have this
clean now because it does tend to get really solid before you do skin so this will be part two guys
showing you this me bonding skin in this scene and i'll talk a little bit more about
why i bought skim things and basically the most important thing between bonding and skim is timing
what i look for before i start my mix of skim and try and help you set all the entanglements there
