But before I explain how to make plaster, let me
explain what plaster is and what tools must be used to do it
realize.
What is plaster
Plaster is a mortar-based compound used for
covering masonry walls in the rough state made of perforated bricks or
solid, brick or stone.
It serves to protect the walls and prepare a smooth base
clean to ensure that the internal and external walls can be passed
painting and finishing.
What tools
use to make plaster
As mentioned above, in order to achieve
plastering you need to have the correct tools, so you can
obtain an optimal result. Let’s see them together:
- Generic trowel :
a wooden or steel spatula to smooth the plaster; - Trowel ;
- Trowel with
spongy surface : in order to finish the plaster.
How to make plaster
To be able to make plaster you need to equip yourself with a material
fundamental for its construction, namely the mortar.
To make the mortar, just take some sand
grain size arc; preferably river sand because it is free of soluble salts.
Once you have taken the sand, mix it with lime,
approximately in the ratio of 1:3 by volume (1 binder, 3 sand
washed), variable depending on the type of material you want to obtain and add
the correct quantity of water. Remember that the compound does not have to be nor is it
too liquid and too dry.
If you get a uniform and soft dough it means that
you will have done a good job.
Finally, lightly wet the wall you will be working on and
apply the plaster by distributing it with the trowel and trowel.
