PebbleTec offers a more durable and longer-lasting finish compared to plaster. It is also more resistant to chemicals and staining, requiring less maintenance over time. Additionally, PebbleTec provides a more textured and natural look to pools and is available in a wider variety of colors and patterns.
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.
To make a plaster for a cut, clean the wound with mild soap and water, pat it dry, and apply an over-the-counter antiseptic cream. Cover the cut with a sterile adhesive bandage or plaster to protect it from dirt and bacteria. Replace the plaster daily or as needed, and keep the wound clean and dry for proper healing.
Yes, you can plaster over a cement ceiling by applying a layer of plaster directly onto the surface. However, it is essential to ensure that the ceiling is clean, free of any loose particles, and properly prepared before applying the plaster to ensure adhesion and a smooth finish. Additionally, using a bonding agent designed for this purpose can help improve the bond between the cement ceiling and the plaster.
It is not recommended to mix paint with plaster because it can affect the integrity and overall quality of the plaster. Paint can change the consistency of the plaster, leading to issues with drying time, bonding, and the overall finish. It is best to apply paint over dried plaster for a smooth and durable finish.
Lime can interact with hard plaster, particularly if the plaster contains gypsum. Lime can cause the gypsum to dissolve over time, leading to degradation of the plaster. However, pure cement-based plasters are generally resistant to lime, and the dissolution process is slow and may not be significant under normal conditions. Overall, while lime can affect plaster, the extent of dissolution depends on the plaster's composition and environmental conditions.
PebbleTec lasts longer than plaster (and is usually warrantied for longer than plaster). In addition, it is darker so typically hides the staining that often comes with pool chemicals.
Pebble Tec is an exposed aggregate plaster technique. Pebble Sheen has less exopsed aggregate (smother) Pebble Fina is even smother
There really is no "best". The key is to keep your water as perfectly balanced as possible to avoid needing an acid wash to clean the plaster. An acid wash actually takes off a small layer of the plaster. Also note that products such as Pebbletec are a bit rough on the feet, although it is beautiful.
