While we want what is best for our clients, one of the methods for achievement is through this method. It is a foolproof method of achieving a flawless finish. In the first step, a scratch coat is applied to the base. It is the most important layer as it becomes the base for the subsequent layers to adhere better. This plaster uses a tool to create horizontal lines hence the name scratch plaster. The second coat is also known as the brown coat, this is slightly thicker than the scratch coat and acts as a strengthing agent for the plaster. This coat makes the wall thicker and smoother giving it a uniform finish across. The next step is to wait for the brown coat to dry and cure. The last coat is the step that provides the shiny and sophisticated look that we all see. This coat is put on with a lot of precision and accuracy. The process of this plaster is complete when the final coat is applied and is allowed to cure properly.
The plaster needs proper time to dry and cure, a lot of factors can affect the drying process.
