Note: Equipment/material quantities are generally not specified, except for layer thicknesses and beacon spacing.

Equipment & Preparation

Priming

• Tools: block brush + tray + deep-penetrating primer
• PPE: gloves and safety glasses

Wall leveling / guides

• Metal guides / beacons
• Favorit leveling rod
  • Two spirit levels: 0° and 90°
  • Accuracy: 1 mm per 1 m
• Beacons fastened with dowels and special mounts

Mixing

• Construction bucket
• Drill
• Special mixer attachment (spiral mixer for uniform mixing)

Application & finishing tools

• Trowel or plastering scoop
  • Scoop capacity up to 0.6 liters
• Reinforcement (if needed): fiberglass mesh (Favorite Professional)
• Straight edge (for distribution)
• Stainless steel spatula
• Finishing trowel
  • Stainless steel + plastic anti-slip handle

Moistening for finishing

• Manual sprayer with pressure pump
• Adjustable water flow from mist to drip

Step-by-Step Method (Key Timings / Technique & Thicknesses)

1. Choose plaster type

• Use gypsum plaster for interior (up to 5 cm per layer).
• Use cement-lime plaster for private construction / large areas (applied here via a ready-made cement-lime mixture).

2. Prime the brick wall

• Apply deep-penetrating primer using block brush and tray.

3. Mark and install beacons (wall leveling)

• If the wall is uneven, mark using metal guides / beacons.
• Set beacons evenly with 1 m spacing.
• Use the leveling rod; during leveling, move the rod along two adjacent beacons.
• Fasten beacons with dowels and special mounts.

4. Prepare the plaster mixture

• Mix dry mixture with water according to the instructions.
• Mix using bucket + drill + spiral mixer attachment.
• The spiral mixer is noted as suitable for heavy mixtures 5–10 kg.

5. Apply plaster in three layers

Layer 1: Spritz (scratch coat)

• Mix consistency: liquid
• Purpose: fill irregularities/pores/dents
• Technique: do not level—leave it rough for adhesion
• Thickness guidance:
  • Concrete and brick walls: about 5 mm

Layer 2: Base coat

• Timing:
  • Apply after spritz has hardened slightly but not fully dried
• Consistency:
  • Thick mortar
• Application:
  • Apply with plastering scoop
• For significant thickness:
  • Apply in several layers
  • Use fiberglass mesh (Favorite Professional)
• Leveling:
  • Level the base layer so the third layer can have uniform thickness
• Techniques mentioned:
  • Distribute evenly with a straight edge
  • Periodically check with a level
• Surface finish:
  • Use the finishing trowel (stainless steel) to smooth

Layer 3: Finishing (decorative) layer

• Before application:
  • Thoroughly moisten the slightly hardened base coat using the manual sprayer
  • Allow water to soak in well (improves adhesion)
• Thickness:
  • Apply finishing layer at 2 mm

6. Practice / learning tip

“Worth practicing on a small area” before finishing work to identify weak points and build skill.

Plating / Serving / Presentation

• Not applicable (construction/plastering video, not food).

Common Mistakes / Key Cues Emphasized

• Leveling is necessary for later tasks like tiling and wallpapering.
• For spritz coat:
  • Keep it liquid
  • Do not level (leave rough to help bonding)
• For base coat timing:
  • Apply after spritz hardens slightly, but before it fully dries
• If thickness is large:
  • Use fiberglass mesh to support multiple layers
