Finish Plaster Steps

​

Scrim tape plaster board edges and joins for strength and to stop plasterboard cracking - apply PVA unibond to dry browning or old dry plaster - mix up finish plaster, plasterboard finish or multi finish and other finishes the first coat so it is easy to move but it does not drip or run - using your trowel, apply about 2 mm- 3 mm thick layer to your area, using your towel again flatten out lines when plaster has firmed up a bit, plasterboard finish usually firms up around 20 mins after mixing- mix up second coat and apply another layer 1 mm - 2 mm thick - Flatten with trowel when firm again, 10-20 minutes after mixing second coat - when even firmer, when your finger barely leaves a mark when you gently push on it, then apply a tiny bit of water with a soft 5 inch brush, brush over about 1 sq meter and then use your trowel to flatten again, you will now have a very smooth surface great for painting, you can polish it with your trowel a little bit, no water just dry trowel but this can ruin your nice surface if you don't know what you doing.
