After you have tried using clout nails, your bead is often hanging off, and the plaster has been blown from the damage. Because the crystals formed in alpha gypsum are longer and more organized, alpha gypsum is stronger when it set. Plaster is a construction material that is used to for coating walls and ceilings with a protective covering.

The idea is to bond or stick the bead to your working background and plaster to the bead for a clean, precise corner. Plastering directly to bare brickwork or blocks, known as ‘wet plastering’, is still favoured by some for its superior soundproofing. It seals the plaster and also fills hairline cracks, which sometimes appear in newly plastered walls and ceilings, especially if they’re lath and plaster.Again it’s completely your choice but there is one tool I suggest you spend a little more on – the plastering trowel. A good plaster finish can be achieved with a combination of confident firm pressure and the correct angle of your trowel. You must get the right consistency — too wet, and the plaster will slump to the bottom; too dry, and it won’t adhere to the wall. jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":344,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":545,"licensing":"
