Hi there all!
I am a property developer, and I was hoping to cut costs by doing plastering myself. I already do my own decorating (using airless sprayer mostly) and carpeting.
Plastering has always seemed a stretch too far as I have been told many times how it takes years to master the art and get a nice smooth finish.
But then I discovered that plaster can be applied using am airless sprayer, and I started to reconsider. My current model wouldn't be powerful enough, so it would mean a very expensive unit equipped to handle the material.
The expense is an obvious disadvantage, but in terms of a direct comparison between the usual application of skim plaster on to plaster board and using an airless sprayer, what are the main differences and pros and cons?
I usually see directly after the plaster has been sprayed, the plaster is leveled with a long board. It looks simple in the videos but then so does the ordinary approach....until you try it aha.
Many, many thanks in advance!!!
