I have just remodelled a kitchen and it is now ready to plaster.
I have a new boarded ceiling, but all the walls are brick. There are a few areas of plasterwork still on the walls above the windows, but generally it is all brick.
I want to plaster the brick, but not use boards so i was hoping to get some advise on here.
1) What levelling tool do i need. I have seen tool station sell a plasterers derby and a feather edge. Do i need both and what is each tool actually for?
2) I was thinking of using batons screwed to the wall to act as my guide and i then plaster around them. I would then take them off and fill in the bits. Is this the correct way to go ?
3) To take the skim coat do i need to scratch the base coat and will a nail work ok ?
4) Do i need to wet the bricks first ?
5) Is it better to use browning or bonding plaster ?
Thanks for any help. All tips appreciated
