Living Proof you can learn from Youtube… I repair my ceiling after
watching this video. Thanks to the poste!

@1949djl All the joints in the repair need to be taped. If one edge runa
along a previously taped joint I would remove the existing tape along that
section and replace it with new tape rather than taping over it. if it just
crosses over a taped joint I wouldn’t bother removing the tape. Hope this
is clear enough. Cheers rod

As a total novice DIY’er with a newly formed hole in his ceiling following
an upstairs bathroom leak this video was bloody brilliant. I saw pt 2 to
this video before this one so feel confident I can tackle this job myself.
Thanks very much for posting these videos, it’s going to save me a packet

Hey Rod – What kind of screws are those? and any predrilling? I looks like
the screws go in too easily for there not to be predrilling involved?

AAAHHaaahhhahhHAHA perfect
Rod Dyson · September 13, 2014 at 4:14 PM
Just s point plasterboard screws. They do go in easy. No pre-drilling
involved.

Thank you so much for this series. I thought I was going to have to pay
someone to fix an ugly hole in my ceiling but thanks to you, I was able to
do the repair on my own.

There are various methods to fix a hole punched in the wall. Unless there
is some backing still in place just filling the hole won’t work as the mud
(plaster) will just fall out. If it is just indented then filling with
cornice cement or basecoat will do the job.

If you make a normal mix, you are able to do 2 or 3 coats as is required
with the one mix. By taking from the mix what you need to do one coat and
placing it in either another dish, on a board or a plasterers hawk as I
have done. Add salt to this portion of the mix and it will set in about 5
minutes while the rest of the mix remains unset ready for the next coat. I
hope this helps it is a great way to finish a job very quickly. Cheers

Normally I do for every day type plastering, except many people watching
this video don’t have the right type of drill and blade to mix the plaster
correctly. So I don’t show it here.
Rod Dyson · September 13, 2014 at 7:17 PM
LOL my bad, reading that late at night, You are right. I do use a cordless
drill for small jobs like this most of the time. And use an Auto Feed screw
gun for normal plastering. This screw gun was the last of many that I had
from years ago, When I employed a lot of plasterers (never again lol). It
too has now packed up, You don’t really think of these things when you make
a video for the first time. Cheers Rod

boy u give the perfect solution man…at my job im a handman ,even i dont
know a thing og sheetrock i m being told to fix a hole on the
ceiling..after i saw ur video now i know what to do….the big dilema for
me was where or what to fix to the piece of sheetrock , but the idea of
those 2 2×4 wooden blocks gave me the answer..,,bad thing im not good with
drill tool and screw sizes so, im thinking of attaching that piece of
sheetrock to the wooden blocks with nails…u think might work?
ishaqx · September 13, 2014 at 7:43 PM
Great Video! Thanks

nice 1 thatnks.
Rod Dyson · September 13, 2014 at 8:53 PM
Also a weak mixing action will increase the setting time of the mix in the
bucket that will allow more time for you to work with the material in the
bucket. By mixing on the hawk using salt I can control the setting time and
complete the job with one mix. Even if it requires up to 3 coats before top
coat. Drill mixing will reduce the overall setting time as the more plaster
is mixed the faster it will set.

Rod Dyson · September 13, 2014 at 9:23 PM
No nails won’t work because the blocks are only “floating” on the sheetrock
and not fixed to the substate. Therefore screws are the only method of
fixing the blocks as shown. If you get a cordless drill with a philips head
screw tip and a handful of 25mm screws you will be ok. Cheers Rod
