Surface preparation

Proper surface preparation is essential for achieving a flawless and long-lasting polished plaster finish. The quality of the underlying surface directly impacts the durability, appearance, and overall success of the application.

Here are the key steps to prepare a surface for polished plaster before application starts:

Assessing the surface, inspecting for imperfections such as cracks, holes, or uneven areas, and addressing these flaws before applying polished plaster to ensure a smooth finish. Determining the material of the substrate (e.g., drywall, cement, wood, or concrete) to influence the preparation process.

Cleaning the surface by removing dust, dirt, grease, or other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion. Using a damp cloth or sponge for cleaning and, if needed, mild detergent and water for stubborn stains, allowing the surface to dry completely.

Repairing and leveling the surface by filling cracks, holes, and gaps with a high-quality filler or plaster, ensuring repairs dry completely before proceeding. Sanding the surface to remove rough spots or uneven areas, creating a flat and smooth substrate.
