20) Finishing lime plaster (smooth and flat)

using conventional plaster.It is highly recommended
to use a plasterer experienced in the use of lime
plasters or at the very least you should get some
practical experience e.g. on a course, as it is not
possible to cover every point in detail here.

Some good more subtle tips here for better finishing..A good useful series of videos all round, as knowing the basics is not always enough to garner real satisfaction !

EXCELLENT set of videos! I have re-plastered a room (replacing gypsum based plaster) in my Victorian home using the methods and products taught here. Everything worked brilliantly. Funny thing: I have an aluminium hawk and when I was plastering the finish coat, the hawk was fizzing away! some sort of chemical reaction. I thought I was going mad all day hearing a leaky pipe, or my ears going bad, until I figured out what it was :-)

What type of sand/ aggregate are you using for this fine finish?

[abcdefg]

Excellent demonstration of finishing, was this a a Lime Putty/fine sand mix ? Or powder Lime.

I have an nice victorian house solid wall and it is plastered with gypsum based plaster. It is possible to apply lime plaster over? or I have to remove all the gypsum plaster? Or I have to remove also the render and start from the brick with lime render?

Can you tell me what type lime is used for smooth interior smooth finish over drywall if I cannot buy your product here in USA?

I used to build and did buy the material for the plasterers and I bought dry bags that were mixed in water overnight and screeded next day. Plasterer would mix gauging in as they used it to set up.

If textured they mixed in Silica sand.

Any idea what type dry lime I would need if for going over interior drywall?

Appreciate very much.

Great video.

Really nice set of educational videos. The music doesn't add any value and is tedious when watching the set :) :)
