These surfaces could be walls, floors or ceilings. For external walls plastering is done with a mixture of sand and cement, pebble-dash or stone-effect materials. Drywall Plastering: The New Method Of Plastering Drywall plastering of holes is easy because you can repair them and fill them with some drywall tools and taping.

The Do's And Don'ts Of DIY Plastering There are different types of plaster available, but basically there are two coats for each plastering job. First of all there is a backing coat which is browning or bonding plaster. Plasterboard is a better choice than backing plaster, especially if it is a DIY project. It is followed by the finishing plaster which is applied on top of the plasterboard. This is applied as a final coat. Plastering wall: An Easy Job When You Know How The plasterer waits till the lime and plaster mix transforms itself. When the slaked lime stops giving off heat, the mix is ready to be mixed with the putty. And this lime putty is the last coat of plaster. It gives the wall a hard and shiny finish coat. Some plasterers have a spray bottle and keep the plaster wet as they work to smoothen it to give it the finishing touches.
