Hi Guys,
Previously I've done a fair few re-skims of walls in finishing plaster, but soon I need to attempt my first plastering from a bare brick wall.
I found most of the answers I need on how to approach the task, but the one thing I can't seem to find is the actual method for applying the hardwall.
Is it applied like finishing plaster, I.e. 2 coats with the second trowled smooth, or is it more like render I.e. trowlled on and then rulled off with a feather edge? Do I need two coat, or will one suffice?
Also, what's the workable time of the hardwall like? Is it all a rush like with mutli-finish, or do I have a bit more time to play with like with rendering?
Thanks in advance for your help
Andy
