To plaster over foil covered board, you will first need to apply a bonding agent to the foil surface to help the plaster adhere. Then, apply a base coat of plaster over the foil, making sure to smooth it out evenly. Finally, add a finish coat of plaster once the base coat has dried to achieve the desired texture or finish.
No, it is not recommended to plaster directly onto the brown side of plasterboard. The brown side is usually the paper facing, which is not a suitable surface for plaster application. It is best to apply plaster onto the white side of the plasterboard or use a suitable primer before plastering.
Applying hard plaster can be challenging due to its quick drying time and need for precision in mixing and application. It requires experience and skill to ensure a smooth and consistent finish. Practice and proper technique can help improve the application process.
Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate. When heated, it loses water and becomes the powder used to make plaster and plaster boards. It is widely used in construction for wall and ceiling finishes due to its fire-resistant and soundproofing properties.
Plaster of Paris is a substance that becomes hard when mixed with water. It is commonly used in construction and arts and crafts for making molds and sculptures.

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.
No it is not
Before the invention of dry wall (some call it plaster board or gypsum board), walls and ceilings were slathered with plaster of Paris over lathe board (small, thin slats of wood that were nailed to the studs). This was smoothed out or in the case of some ceilings, sculpted into decorative shapes. Sometimes, crown molding was even sculpted directly on the walls with plaster. So, a plastered cieling is just that--a ceiling that has been plastered. It is a work intensive craft, and requires a high degree of skill and training to do.
