Gypsum Plasters
Gypsum plaster is a good alternative to sand cement for interior plastering. Plastering / Drilling is also a faster internal application method as it does not require time to use water treatment methods. After sand cement plastering, hydroponic application should be made for 20-21 days to reduce cracks caused by hydration heat. Gypsum plaster is mixed with fresh water in recommended proportions and turned into a homogeneous mortar. The gypsum plaster slurry is then applied by the trained applicant to the walls and ceiling of the desired thickness in a process called plastering/drilling.
