Interior ceiling plaster loose remove and repair

Interior ceiling plaster loose remove and repair.
Hi, in this how-to video, we are pointing out how to remove loose interior plaster and repair the ceiling properly with a new application.

How many of us have walked in our attic with no flooring and stepped off the rafters and into the field? I’ll bet many a working man.

I’m applying to one of the oldest and best plasters used worldwide. In fact, it’s specked out for hospitals and schools for too many reasons to mention here.

Okay, its primary use is for strength, insulation values, and fire and soundproofing.

I added an accelerator as structo-lite takes about 3 to 5 hours to set.
So, Ole Kirk is not waiting that long for any plaster to set.
As a rule, you cant trowel down the smooth structo-lite application as it’s gluey by nature, but the trick is to hit it fast and keep your trowel wet or move quickly, or it will drag.

repair a large plaster ceiling, ceiling failing remove re-plaster

repair a large plaster ceiling, ceiling failing remove re-plaster
Plaster ceiling failing remove it before it falls apply new interior plaster.
FYI, folks, don’t wait until it falls, as it might do some severe damage to someone.

Removing a complete loose plaster ceiling reinforce with rib lath then repair with joint compounds
interior ceiling separating failures.

We were called in to remove part of this failing plaster or buckling plaster ceiling as gravity had its way with it. We got more than we bargained for on this repair.
We didn’t plan on removing the entire ceiling. However, when it got next to the light, we had no choice but to remove that fixture, blam, the whole roof fell as it was supported by just the light fixture. Yes, it fell on us.

Someone down the line did an incredibly foolish fix or repair.
They applied a bonding agent and another coat of plaster to stop the falling plaster.
It had the opposite effect because of this thing called “gravity and vibrations.

This made 2 inches of plaster dangerous.
The young babies in the living room when I first stopped by there were in danger and their parents.

This plaster did fall on us. However, we were strong men.
Folks, if you have a ceiling failing or separating, do your family and yourself a kindness, tear it off and apply either sheetrock or plaster it as we stapled our new metal lath into the ceiling joist, no matter if someone in the attic is doing jumping jacks it cant, fail or collapse.
As it was, the fella who simply added more weight to a separating plaster ceiling could have committed a foolish thing had this fallen on their babies or themselves.

I point this out as there are correct repairs and so-called foolish repairs that do more damage than good.

With this ceiling, we try and show and explain in less than 20 minutes what it took the three of us eight solid hours to accomplish by removing and applying a new interior plaster ceiling.

Keep in mind plastering ceiling is just like plastering walls, except your plastering overhead. That’s why it’s called Mastering Plastering.

Hello ambitious plastering dude’s and or ladies, who are interested in a how we apply both coats of plaster with a texture to match the existing finish. Easy peasy lemon squeezy, my English wife always says, this meaning piece of cake or simple stuff.Sort of a goofy topic but I have been asked enough times so I thought show what I use.

Have other real question’s about stucco or plastering issues, watch any of our 600 stucco and or plastering video’s on this channel to answer all your stucco questions?
The biggest challenge is typing in the keyword that is necessary to not spin your wheels seeking the answer.
We try and keyword properly, but were stucco dudes, and most folks are not sure of proper terminology for what they seek.
We do try and make your search as easy and efficient as possible, anyway wording tips let us know.
I usually go into details about tools and their use, plus explain and show a variety of useful plastering tips.
With a small bit of attention you can and will save cash, create a sense of euphoria and sleep well knowing, no problemo, I did this repair myself.
Save cash, great workout, sense of accomplishment, what more in life does a righteous person desire?

Old Kirk says, material knowledge is 70% of being a well rounded plasterer,
The other 30% is application.
The home owner Melvin Wong did an excellent job of not only choosing a beautiful front door but installed it as well. He also lathed it like an expert.
(He must have been watching my videos,)
Thanks you for watching and have a groovy day!
