I'm a bricklayer by trade not a plasterer so take what I say with a grain of salt! Here in Western Australia we cement/lime render as a base coat and finish with a plaster of paris/lime coat. This gives a white fairly soft finish. This mix is applied much wetter than the mixes you made. My elbows were shrieking in protest! I don't think you need hemp in your top coat it needs to be about 3mm thick. If you can't get plaster of paris then a softer sand /lime mix will probably do the trick. When you tip out of the bucket it should flow not be a bucket sized lump. Best wishes for a great result.

Completely agree. Maybe even running a rasp over the wall a bit to cut down the exposed hemp fibers. I've put a pre colored "plaster" finish on gyp board and the technique for making the surface smooth and shinny is to "burnish" the surface with a flexible steel trowl when the plaster is still just a bit wet. I would say the sans hemp mix did have too much sand. If a smooth surface is desired, the final float coat needs to have less coarse (sand/hemp) and more fine (clay).

Speaking as a potter who works with clay, we never use a sponge to get a polished surface because the sponge just removes the finest particles, leaving the coarser ones to stay rough. Using a hard tool like a metal, wood, or rubber (if they exist) trowel will push the coarse grains down into the body, and allow the fine particles to come to the surface. When i want a polished surface on my pots, I smooth the surface with metal, silicone rubber, or another hard surface.

A sponge would never be used as an actual finish, but it is often used to get to that finish. Plasterers will sponge float their final coat to smooth and level it out, and to fill in any remaining divots/low points, then wait a short while before going over it with a finishing trowel.

@@ptolemyauletesxii8642 exactly, and it no matter what you use as material, traditional cement/sand or anything else it will always bring agregates to the top and work in the actuall cement. Once dried will need a brush off to remove the agregates that came to the top as they will be loose anyways. Then could apply finish. Though in south america/india and many asian countries they often to not topcoat with finishing materials, especially not on the outside of a house. And since this contains an absorbing agregate, in this case i would dump the hemp in a bucket of water, then immediately remove it and then mix it. Then once dry enough go over it with a mix without hemp/straw at all to fill in the low spots. Wait a bit more and then finish off with a trowel before aplying the final finish (totally straw/hempless) The nice thing is, he is learning this whole process just by trial and error! 👍

I have done plastering using hot-mixed lime plaster. Adding lots of water and making it spreadable like modern plaster wasn't an option (plaster would crack and fail when it dries). After getting the plaster on the wall (it was like clay) I used a wooden trowel to shave & compress the plaster, then went over it with a clean & wet steel trowel. Result was robust, with rustic texture. I think you are doing the right thing by experimenting; you can make it work.

Hi Guy and Kylie. I have done lots of plastering in my life ( I'm actually a doctor) but I spent many years plastering in my university days-father was a plasterer - and so useful contact for work during holiday breaks, and I consider my self reasonably skilled at plastering and I think your natural skills as a plasterer are very very good! You seem to have a natural feel for the motions and movements and I am very impressed. It does look a little more difficult than it could be - sometimes plastering a wall with the correct mixes/materials can be very satisfying with the way the material flows on to the substrate and can appear to have a 'creamy' feel to it. I felt there was too much hemp in the first mix and the mix perhaps wasn't quite 'fluffy' enough and the second (sand) mix was perhaps a bit sandy. I'm wondering if an experiment with less hemp and a small amount of added sand and a bit more lime might be worth trying in order to 'lighten' the mix and make it a bit creamier and fluffier. I agree with the Aussie chap below as well with regards the 'flow' from the bucket. But - Guy - as I said - I think you are doing an excellent jog, your skills are really looking amazing for a beginner and I really really enjoy your and Kylies videos - very enjoyable!

I'm also not a plasterer, but I have watched them work, and I agree with Porter Rockwell and metallitech to a great extent. If you want a smooth finish perhaps you need to leave the hemp out of the final skim coat (comment added before I'd watched right to the end!). However, it's not my house, but I like the rustic uneven look you've achieved already! On the plus side you're saving on gym membership ;-) Keep up the good work. Cheers

I am a plasterer and I have some experience with lime plasters. You CAN use hemp plaster as a final coat, but you'll generally struggle to get it much smoother than you have. After you do 2 or 3 coats of hemp plaster, to build thickness and insulative value, you should finish with a lime finishing plaster, generally 2 coats, done one after the other. The float coat on the hemp plaster is to smooth it, level it, and fill any deeper gaps, but it won't get terribly smooth because of the fibres of the hemp.

Top coat should be without hemp and added chalk. Plasterer's are not called 'god' for no reason.. They are usually triangular in shape and built like brick sh**thouses 😅Lime plasterers that I know usually float up with a plastic or wet steel float. To do the corners use a wet plastic bag. its cracking because the base coat is drawing the water. You need to spray it with water after you have applied it. Don't fiddle with it.. its an old wall and doesn't have to be flat

In my old apartment in Germany, we used to freshen the walls with white lime wash. You can tint it if you want. We added a can of white latex to a large bucket of lime wash to prevent the paint from rubbing off on your clothes when you leaned on the wall. Try to search your products and process ( on Google and KZitem) in Portuguese and Auto Translate it. A Dutch guy I follow, renovating a house in Italy, said he gets a lot more information searching in Italian, than English. I would also try it in Spanish as the houses in Spain are built similarly.

The sand lime renders you did on the second wall look quite good. The plywood float is what I would do. It should knock off the high spots, and smear into the low spots. After the material has dried a slight bit, a soft sponge wet, not dripping would be rubbed on the surface to even any remaining lines and present an evenness to the look. (similar to sanding a wood board before painting) My father and I would do this type of finish with sand and cement on exterior walls to cover Block or Concrete walls. For the finish coat, I would apply a pure "hydrated finishing lime" soaked for 10 hrs minimum. You will want this creamy smooth, sieve the soaked lime through a 1/4" screen, then like a recipe, you place a portion of your sieved lime on a board then mix in a small amount of "Plaster of Paris", we would also add, something we called Slow Set at the same time. These two compounds caused the lime render to harden as you apply it, much like concrete hardens. This hardening gives you the opportunity to trowel to a smooth hard finish. In this final finishing coat we apply two coats around 1/8" thick each. Happy troweling.

Someone I watched doing something similar was saying that you have to spray some water between coats so it can adhere to the base coat. This probably answers the question od the base soaking up the humidity from the fresh one. Maybe contact Theo, from the Indie Project.

I only have experience of plastering with gypsum plaster, but I'm surprised at any instruction to attempt to aim for a smooth coat with any sort of fibres in. If you want a very smooth finish, you should be using plastering sand which has very fine - and clean particles. Coarser building sand is dirty and will not get you a nice finish. You will never be able to rub that smooth. And yes, plastering is bloody hard work. The experts make it look easy. But with most types of plaster, the mixture also has to be more sloppy than what you're using. I think you've got accustomed to working with stiffer mixes and that's not what you need to get a smooth top coat.

Great edited opening sequence....RE: high spots and low spots. I wondered if you could have demonstrated this better with a flat surface against the wall so you could show which spots were high and which low. It was still clear enough. A light from your phone under a flat surface with the camera above would show the light coming through. Doing things by eye is ok, but you'll get a better finish with something engineered....Also, I looked at quite a few decorative paint techniques that give a different look to a 'feature wall' and wondered if you'd try a tester pot on an area and just roller it on. Perhaps something darker, a slightly darker cream colour, and check out what the look of the wall is like. Possibly worth trying out - it might be something you just don't like, or only looks ok from a greater distance than you have in the room - it may give you an interesting look to a semi-finished wall. I think it might be a bit too abstract or a bit too arty and though some of the fibres showing in the painted wall might show the guts of the building, it depends on the look you want. Anything unfinished would be more difficult to clean and it might be breathable but you'd get through so much anti-mould spray it would be untrue....sometimes you get a feature wall and it looks like the owners couldn't be bothered to finish it. I wonder if this will happen in your home....!?! Interesting video for techniques and how much work is involved - definitely not a fail...
