whats to best way to plaster a internal brick wall ? but i don't what to .use plaster board?

Answer 1

Before plaster board, the traditional way to plaster an internal wall was to put a bonding coat on first and then the top skimming coat. After a few weeks, you were allowed to put a coat of emulsion on and wait at least 3 years before wallpapering.

Plaster board and skimming now speeds the whole thing up so housing contractors can rake more money in quicker.

Answer 2

The proper way to do it, is to render with a sand cement mix (4 -1), float it and very lightly scratch it (ususally done with two nails in the end of the float).
Then you plaster it with Thistle Multi Finish plaster (known as pink because of its colour).
However, with new products on the market you could use a Thistle One coat plaster but you will have to seal the walls with a Unibond sealer watered down.
I trust you have expereince at plastering because it is one of those jobs which can go horribly wrong.
Have fun

Answer 3

you have to apply a base coat of carlite browning ..very important that you get this coat both level and plumb and with a scratched surface ..then skim it next day in carlite multi finish ..but this traditional method puts a lot of water into the wall and it will be two weeks before you can paint ..stick to dot and dabbing plaster boards
