How To Fix Cracks, For Good! Lath And Plaster Ceilings

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. I followed it to the T. Worked perfectly thanks to your video. Took me a week to complete and was completed with two coats of ceiling paint on Saturday January 27th 2024 The biggest job was dismantling the bed every day!

Glad I stuck with this 20 min video instead of a shorter one. Every bit of it was so necessary! The PDA and filler mixing was mesmerizing!

Always greatly appreciate your work and attention to detail. For what it's worth, I prefer no music during the videos. Ambient sounds of productivity help to understand the process better, and your commentary is gold.

Watches vides , deep embarrassed sigh, rolls eyes and makes a mental for Saturday “did out poly fill a applied to hall ceiling cracks last Saturday, and do it correctly this time 😊 thank you as always for saving me £100’s and educating a diyer 👍🏻

Nice jobb! Hate though that these videos always end when the painting is about to start. The before and after a paintjob is so satisfying to see.

What fantastic attention to detail. Wish I could find a tradesman like you in my part of the world but, so far, no luck.

Video is fantastic. I watch them nearly every time before I go to do a big plaster ceiling repair, which I’m doing today, and I can’t tell you how helpful this technique as well as many others that you’ve posted have been to me. Thanks so much, and please keep these videos coming.👍💪🍻

You Sir have saved me thousands of dollars and time. Big THANK YOU

excellent result 👍😊 I'm on the last room in my house all painted , staircase reoccurring crap fixed (about 2 years ago looks fantastic still) door front door installation fixed, paint distemper on the hallway fixed every problem I came across and never heard !! of I've found a solutions in your videos cheers..

Thank you so much for this helpful video. This job is on my to-do list. I'll follow your steps & have peace of mind it'll be done correctly. Thank you👍

Will you come over to my house and fix my ceiling for me? :). Ugh. You're so patient. That seems the tricky part with all of this... just taking your time to get it done right.

Great job, but I think it will still re-crack if there is movement from a floor above.

Great presentation. Awesome old world skills.

Tried it and it does work but have to have a lot of patience to make sure enough foam has got in behind. Took a few goes to get it right tho and patient customers 😂.

Really useful information and a great help - thank you!

found this very helpful

Excellent video, with good detail and very well explained. I'm working on my 1910 Federation cottage with Lath and Plaster walls and ceilings). Just a couple of questions, if I may. 1) Any suggestion of the mixing ratio for the PVA and water spray? I made a mix and sprayed the racked out cracks, but the dust still wants to crumble out once it dries. 2) I'm in Australia, and you can't buy Dulux Easycare paint here. Can I use any ceiling/wall paint mixed in with the filler to avoid having to prime over the filler before painting. Thanks heaps for sharing your extensive knowledge mate. Cheers Andy 👍

Thanks so much for the advice the expanding foam works a treat !

If your mixing paint with the filler will it actually sand down like its supposed to?also does this technique work long term on movement cracks?it would be great if we could see the ceiling 12 months down the line to see if it all works,thanks for the video very interesting

Very useful video. Thanks for making it!
