Traditional plaster is made of hydrated lime, sand, water, and horse hair (or some other type of hair) added for tensile strength. When mixed, traditional plaster has the consistency of runny peanut butter.

Plaster is usually applied in three coats: the scratch coat, brown coat, and finish coat, and is rather labor intensive.

The finish plaster is normally white all the way through.

The scratch coat more like a thin concrete than plaster (doesn't have the white marble dust in it) and is used to get a better bond to the old surface.
