Hello folks, you can use just a plaster interior basecoat on your walls.
A plaster basecoat is a bit sandy. Or you can use just a plaster Finish Coat Only.
Both take practice if you are only doing one coat.
You can apply just a Lime interior base coat or finish coat only.
Interior lime one coating, Wattle, and Daub?
Whitey explained the benefits of parging lime are walls made of branches, bricks, rocks, logs, or anything else.
The lime preserved the branches to protect occupants from bugs, like mosquitos, lice, spiders, ticks, and many other parasites not seen by the human eye.
He said rats like warm rooms with food on the floor, but their little yellow teeth can't chew through limestone. But, of course, the same applied to snakes and other curious critters.
Wattle and Daub is another topic, but I'll explain it anyway.
It's a slurry of lime basecoat, a method used for making walls and buildings.
A woven lattice of wooden strips called wattle is daubed with a sticky material usually made of wet soil, clay, sand, animal dung, and straw.
The wattle is made by weaving thin branches. Daub is usually created from ingredients from three categories: binders, aggregates, and reinforcement.
Binders hold the mix together and can include clay, lime, chalk, and limestone dust.
In this video, apply half an inch with as few troweling strokes as possible and enough pressure to get it to hang.
Now I wait for it to darken just a bit, the means its setting.
So here's the real art of knowing plastering materials.
There are no tricks or secrets, just common sense that comes with practice.
When I place my wet trowel on this half-inch and wish to create a glass finish.
I first wet the setting finish coat with water and then moved the excess lime around to smooth the lines.
The finish can separate from the wall with too much troweling and brute strength instead of skill. So use just enough strength to place it on.
FYI, This single lime base coat does have silica sand, so your finish will be sandy.
