technician - Friday, May 3, 2019 666Cleanliness is absolutely essential when plastering. Any grit or dirt that end up in your mix or on the trowel will end up spoiling the smooth finish of your walls. Vacuum clean all surfaces and the floor before starting. Wash all plastering tools before starting and after applying each layer of plaster using a washing up brush. If you are about to plaster a fresh brick wall, it may be necessary to seal the wall with a 50:50 PVA and water solution first.
This will stop the wall from sucking all of the water from the freshly applied plaster, which will ensure the plaster remains workable for longer and does not dry out. The wall should be completely dry before you begin plastering.

Gather all the items required.
Fill your mixing bucket to 25 of its capacity with water, and then add the plaster to the water bit by bit. Use an electric drill with a plaster mixing paddle to get a professionally smooth consistency. While mixing, scrape the edges of your bucket with your trowel to include all dry material. Keep adding plaster until you reach a consistency resembling that of thickly whipped cream when you withdraw the paddle it should leave a hole in the mixture.
Mist the surfaces of your trowel and handboard with water from the spray bottle. This helps prevent the plaster from sticking.
Using the trowel, load two scoops of plaster on to the handboard.
Load the plastering trowel from the handboard. Start plastering from the corners and work towards the centre. If you are right-handed, start at the top left hand corner. If you are left-handed, start at the top right hand corner. Lay down the first coat roughly. Don't worry about smoothing at this stage, just aim to get the material onto the wall. Don't be too careful going around obstacles either, they can be dealt with at a later stage.

0As mentioned in step 1, it is now time to wash all the plastering tools in a bucket of water with a washing up brush.
Apply a second coat, much thinner than the first. Use broad strokes, backwards and forwards to lay a smooth top layer.
Run a wet brush along the edge where one wall meets another wall or the ceiling. This helps to produce a smooth inside corner.
Use a spray bottle to dampen the surface of the wall as well as the plastering trowel with water. Then use long deliberate strokes to smooth out the plaster as much as possible. If you have not achieved the smooth finish you require after a few strokes, don't be tempted to think that you can fix it later by sanding it flat. It is impossible to properly sand plaster smooth. Keep skimming and polishing the plaster while it is damp and have patience, it will pay off in the end.
