This video below shows you why you need the tools and a few suggestions to go along with it. You can simply get your own or you can follow my recommendations. It’s your choice (even if I’m completely right in my advice 🙂 Now there is one thing I need to get out of the way before you start anything. This section is probably one of the most important parts of this whole tutorial! Avoiding this stage causes so many plasterers major problems as it’s all in the preparation. You always apply 2 coats of plaster, you always keep tools clean and you always have to keep calm. One of the most stressful things with plastering is the plaster setting too fast. If it is hard it is tough to deal with but you can do it.

You roll the mixed PVA over all your walls, wait for it to dry overnight and allow it to seal the surface. One coat can actually suffice but I would recommend that if you’re plastering for beginners you apply another coat. Fat Hog Paint brush – This is a seriously strong brush and ideal for cleaning your edges when plastering. I’ve had mine for 2 years and it isn’t showing any signs of weakness. I can’t find any definite links but if you look online for a fat hog brush you should find some results. Otherwise just look online for a plasterer’s water brush but if you can find one of these, get one! Toolty Plasterers Mud Pan is made out of high quality, solid stainless steel which makes it very durable. I’m going to go through the RIGHT way to prepare your walls for plastering. If you follow this advice you can’t go wrong!This is the one tool that provides all the results. You can hand mix your plaster, you can use a wooden hawk and you could mix on the floor if you really like but it’s the trowel that gives you the flat walls. This gives you the walls you want for your home.

You can get away with buying a few cheap tools but not the essentials. Cheap trowels get cheap results! I’ll show you what you need and provide some recommendations for the best options. Before you dash any plaster on the walls you need to know how to get the perfect mix. If you mix it too hard it will set too fast, but if you mix it too wet then it’s an absolute nightmare to get on the walls. It’s a tough game to follow but don’t fear because we have the ultimate guide on mixing your plaster. The market-leading MEGAMIXER paddle mixers have been the trade's choice for over 30 years because of the long-lasting, well-built motors and gearboxes. Many of the original MEGAMIXERS over 20 years old are still in use today.Old buildings are often exposed to dirt and grime. It’s this same grime that then gets onto our walls and potentially ruins a decent plastering project! How does dirt ruin plaster though? It can be tough! You probably don’t have a clue where to start and you might even think you can’t do it! Well, guess what?

OX Pro Plasterers’ Hawk – I’ve chosen this one for a very specific reason. It’s a plastic hawk which means it is very light. I’ve often used an aluminium hawk because they’re durable but I’ve recently bought a plastic one and they are brilliant. They’re light, comfortable to use and easy to clean. I am converted to the plastic trowels and I definitely recommend one for you. They are the muts nuts! This probably sounds like gibberish and makes no sense at all. Let me expand on that and it will make a bit more sense. Let’s get some ground rules out of the way!

You need to mix the PVA glue with water. Don’t use the stuff raw because it’s just too strong and can actually be detrimental to your plastering. You need to mix at a ratio of 1 part PVA with 3 parts water (3:1). This is the best mix for plastering – other plasterers have different preferences so you can experiment, but this is the one I find the most effective.
