Abstract
Plaster is applied to internal walling to cover varying backgrounds, correct irregularities and produce a surface suitable for final decoration. It is essential therefore that the final surface of the plaster should be of an acceptable standard with good adhesion to the substrate. Considering the amount of work carried out with plasterwork few problems occur. Nevertheless they do occasionally arise and are usually a result of incorrect specification and materials, poor workmanship, extreme site conditions or a combination of these factors. This data sheet covers potential problems that may occur.
