Crowds flock to find out how to plaster

Mike Edwards is presenting on the Tricks of the Trade stage at the National Home Improvement Show at Olympia this weekend. The most popular demo is How to Skim Plaster, which always attracts big crowds. In his talks he debunks many of the myths of how to work with plaster and explains how to make your project manageable.

The show is a very popular venue for self-build and DIY Enthusiasts because there are so many useful products and services being sold and it is a great place to get inspiration for your new project, or to inject some inspiration into one that is part way through.

Those of you who came to the show last year will notice that we are in a different venue this year – last year we were at Earls Court. We like the change because Olympia is such a beautiful building and you can even see the sky. This may seem sad but anyone who has been in exhibition halls for the day will know it makes a huge difference to see the outside world,because after 5 or 6 days of being cooped up inside we can feel like labrats.
