There are several types of plaster on the market, suitable for different applicatons. Traditionaly, ‘ Browning’ is applied direct to brickwork as an undercoat to the final ‘skim’ finish coat. Browning is applied up to 12 mm thick with a 2 to 3mm skim over the top. Use ‘Multi Finish’ as a skim over the Browning, and ‘Board Finish as a skim over plaster board sheets. Ensure plaster board sheets are fully taped up prior to skimming, to avoid cracks at the seams.
