What is plaster? Plaster is a very popular construction material. It can be used for coating walls and ceilings. It is one of the most commonly used product for finishing a room. It contains gypsum and chalk. Its preparation often involves using special substance that delays its fixture, called plasticizer. It determines how hard the plaster is. Using it results in shorter time of drying. Usually, one can start processing the surface approximately after 2 hours.
Rpplying primer before plastering is not a market practice as it is higher coast and time consuming but it is definitely the best practice. Do check with your consultant before you hire them for the task

PAINTING WORKS
As easy as painting sounds, there are some tricks to the trade. Take prep work, for example. If you skip this important step, you could end up with a real problem on your hands — an undercoat that shows through or peeling paint. If you’re painting latex over oil, for example, you’ll likely get cracking, These types of mistakes not only take time to remedy, but can also cost a significant amount of money.

Protect your floor and furniture. Before you start painting, you will need to cover your floor with a painter's canvas. Move and/or cover any furniture or other valuables in the room using painter's plastic. You can move your furniture to the center of the room and place a tarp or canvas cloth under the wall that you will be painting
Apply painter’s tape to the edges. Painting in a straight line can be difficult, so if this is your first time painting, then you will probably need to apply blue painter’s tape to the edges of your walls and any molding or fixtures. Apply the painter’s tape so that it is even with the edges of the walls, molding, and fixtures.
Mix your primer and paint. Before you use your primer or paint, take a moment to mix them well with a mixing stick. This will help to ensure that the pigments in the primer and paint are evenly distributed.
Prep your walls. A smooth even surface will make it easier to achieve professional quality results, so take the time to check your wall for imperfections and fix them up before you get started.
Allow the paint to dry. The paint will need at least one day to dry, so leave it be. Do not try to replace pictures, furniture, or other items until the paint is totally dry. You may also want to block entrance to the room to ensure that no small children or pets can come into the room and touch the walls
- Place your painting materials on the tarp and keep them there at all times. Do not put brushes, paint buckets, or paint trays on your bare floors or on other bare surfaces.
Apply painter’s tape to the edges. Painting in a straight line can be difficult, so if this is your first time painting, then you will probably need to apply blue painter’s tape to the edges of your walls and any molding or fixtures. Apply the painter’s tape so that it is even with the edges of the walls, molding, and fixtures.
- Keep in mind that you do not need to press hard on the tape when you apply it. Using a bit of gentle pressure will be enough to keep it in place.
Mix your primer and paint. Before you use your primer or paint, take a moment to mix them well with a mixing stick. This will help to ensure that the pigments in the primer and paint are evenly distributed.
- Never shake your paint cans. This can cause dry paint chips from the lid to mix into the paint. Always stir it with a mixing stick.
Prep your walls. A smooth even surface will make it easier to achieve professional quality results, so take the time to check your wall for imperfections and fix them up before you get started.
- Sand patched and/or rough surfaces smooth using 220-grit sandpaper. Vacuum or wipe away dust when you are done.
Allow the paint to dry. The paint will need at least one day to dry, so leave it be. Do not try to replace pictures, furniture, or other items until the paint is totally dry. You may also want to block entrance to the room to ensure that no small children or pets can come into the room and touch the walls
- Most walls will need two coats of paint, and some darker colors may need three. Wait until the first coat is dry before applying the second coat.
- If the room is not well ventilated, then placing a fan in the room and cracking a window will help to keep the air circulating and help the paint to dry faster.
