I've done drywall for about 7 years now off and on. I've been curious about plaster and how much it differs from finishing gypsum board (drywall). I saw some plasterers on "This Old House" show doing this and caught my attention. From what I've seen, the finishers coat the entire wall and hardly ever need sanding. Can anybody tell me whats involved in plastering? Do they tape joints, what is backing material, how many coats of what, and is it easier or harder to do than modern drywall techniques? Any cons of plaster?
