Plaster Work:

Plastering is a technique towards wrapping rough structured walls and irregular surfaces during the building of a house and different structures with a plastic element, called Plaster.

Requirements of Good Plaster:

• It ought to stick to the foundation and ought to remain clung to during every single climatic change.
• It ought to be modest and affordable.
• It ought to be a high potential and tough.
• It ought to be highly conceivable to apply it during every single climate condition.
• It ought to viably check the section or infiltration of dampness from the surfaces.
• It ought to have great functionality.

Important points to know while doing plaster work

• It should be kept in mind that the situation of the surface should be notified first before plastering a wall or a roof. The surface should be flat and aligned while plastering.
• If there is any variation or difference found between the surface of the wall and roof then the minimization of the variation would be an essential thing.
• The Constructor always uses an aluminum plank ranging from a length of 8-10 feet in order to check the variation of the roof often called Straight Edge.
• Usually, the constructor uses a plumb in order to check the variation of a wall. They usually set a benchmark to calculate that if the variation is more than ½ inch then the rough plaster should also be done on the wall. After leaving the rough plaster for one day, the final plaster is implemented. 
• (1:3) mortar would be used in order to plaster roof and (1:4) mortar be used while plastering a wall.
• The usage of Wire Mesh is essential before going for the plasterwork. In this way, no cracks would be found in plasterwork.
• The process of giving immense water is very essential before going for the plastering of any surface. After going through the process of giving immense water, Neeru is used.
• Slurry has been made by the constructor after combining cement and water. The Constructer uses this slurry to spread over the plastered surface with trowel and then struck mortar by using trowel. In this way, plaster will gain a strong grip on those grooves of the bricks that are prominent.
• When the constructor plasters the wall and completes the usage of a trowel then float will be used. After the usage of float, surface is now quite perfect and ready for the paintwork.
• If you need to go for the tiling & stonework on that wall then use a steel wire brush after the preparation of wet plaster. The steel wire brush will make grooves and then the tile bond will get fit in it completely.

After completing the plasterwork of a wall, the process of giving immense water should continue up to 2-3 days so that the plasterwork gains strength.
