No Mr Taylor, people can't watch you tube and become a plasterer. If they are good with their hands, they can get an idea of what to do, but plastering is a craft earnt by hundreds or thousands of hours to get it right. I know I'm not he best plasterer ever, but I'm damn decent, well above average, and I know the work I used to turn out when I was learning, at the time thought it was real good, but lookin back, f**k wouldn't do now. You tube no good, only experience on trowel
 
I remember reading a Malcolm Gladwell book and there was something about a 10,000 hour rule .

Based on 8 hours a day, 5 days a week that’s only 3 years. Suppose if you’re doing the same thing every day then you would be an expert.

hopefully you'l watch youtube today and learn how to get out of bed and score in italy tonight lol
 
No chance can you learn from YouTube. I've had agency spreads on site with me. Trowelling across beads, bells on the bottoms of walls, trowel marks everywhere, corners like they finished them with a spoon. I am like pal trowel up the beads, you got hollows everywhere and watch the bottoms of your walls or the chippies gonna kick off. Probably went to the school of YouTube. Oh and ask them to render then the fun really begins lol [emoji3]

Mate of mine lived in a house of boards. He was actually a plasterer. He'd boarded it, then his mrs moved the furniture in and he could never be arsed to move it back out. So boards it was.

Then there's Ken-Dog the roofer.

Tiled his kitchen with Welsh slate (looks shite). But that doesn't matter because when his van got full, he started using his living room and then his kitchen as a yard. Now he sleeps in the bedroom, eats in the chippy and sits in the pub.
 
Old boy I know whose a gold cscs card holder with the same city and guilds as me.
He's as rough as fcuking toast.
An eye for detail and a decent set of standards can't really be taught anywhere, like most crafts some are born with a natural aptitude and some will never be any good at it while they've got a hole in their ar5e.

I've worked with a man, early 40s, at it from he left school, done apprenticeship through college, gold card, can't coat remotely even. Skimming is rough, rubbing is rough, beading is bad. Mustn't have an eye for detail at all. Tbh some of his skimming is crazy bad, like can't understand how he doesn't be pulled on his quality.

Very true m8 a cscs card counts for f**k all unless you have the natural ability..
Plastering is a gift I’ve worked with very good natural young lads and rough as f**k older lads who have been shite all their life’s and just there to make up the numbers..
 
Oh the joys , little conversation with a customer,
Oh right ok mate , a legend :endesacuerdo:
