plastering
A Question
I am about to patch an area 6 by 4ft on an existing plastered wall. I have searched the site for advice on the subject and like most people the idea of plastering and matching onto an old plastered surface (block wall) is going to be a difficult task (there is going to be some lighting in the area so any bad plastering will show up).But i am going to have a go at it. The suggestions given on the site are very useful. The problem I expect to have is (a) Matching the old with the new (feathering)and (b) Obtaining a good flat finish on the final coat. With regard to (b) I hope to level off the base coat with a piece of wood, with two vertically lines of partially set browning, which I dont expect to be a major problem ,The problem I see is putting on the final coat, how does one get it level and flat while its drying fast?. Has anyone used a roller to put on the finishing coat?. With regard to (a) the suggestion I got was to use of a hard wet sponge combined with the float. Has anyone any suggestions on this topic I believe there will be a new product from Belgium on the market in the near future which will make the plastering of a wall much easier , I saw a plasterer/ painter using it on a television programme he seemed to use what looked like a tool like a T piece with some flat rubber on the top of the T piece.The plaster was placed on this flat rubber and was rubbed onto the dry lining surface. Has anyone seen or used this product. Regards Joe |
