Choosing plaster
Fresh stock matters
Old plaster sets fast and unevenly. Order it close to when you need it and keep bags dry.
Finish coat
Board finish is made for plasterboard; multi-finish suits most undercoats and board.
Plaster & Beads in Newtownabbey: questions
How much plaster do I need to skim a wall?
A 25 kg bag of finishing plaster covers roughly 10 square metres at a 2 mm skim, but coverage varies with the background and thickness. Check the bag.
What is the difference between multi-finish and board finish?
Board finish is designed for skimming plasterboard. Multi-finish works on plasterboard and on undercoat plasters, so it is the more flexible choice.
