    Cleaning plaster buckets

    Those are the type of buckets you need, and also try and pick up a cheap square edged bucket trowell, an ordinary gaugeing trowell is next to useless. The bucket trowell will get virtually everything from the bucket so if you throw in a few inches of water to clean it out and empty the big...

    Watertight Rendering
