This may be lightly scratched with a devil float before leaving in preparation of the finish coat.įor the final top coat use FINE STUFF - a mix of lime putty and fine silver sand. You must ensure you wet down the first coat with a fine mist before spreading a 7mm coat. This again should be with MEDIUM STUFF but may or may not have hair added. The second coat also known as the intermediate or float coat will be applied similar to the first coat. Any cracks that appear in the first coat should not be rubbbed out as this may damage the nibs of the plaster behind the laths. The plaster should then be left until set hard but protected from heat and draughts.
Working to a layer of 10mm thick, push the plaster into and across the pre-wet laths at a 45 degree angle to the laths.The plaster should be left to steady up before being scratched in a diamond pattern ensuring the scratches are not running along the laths. If the plaster is made on site, the HORSE HAIR needs to be evenly distributed throughout the mortar. However if an NHL is specified then NHL2 should be used. Lime putty based plasters are more flexible and therefore more suitable for lath work. Our blend of sharp and soft sands, chalk lime putty and horse hair in our Haired MEDIUM STUFF is ideal for the first coat onto laths. Spray a clean cold water mist on to the laths prior to applying the scratch coat. Stainless steel ring shank nails should be used to fix the laths. Riven laths compared to sawn laths are the strongest and should always be used on ceilings. These elements should be removed before damaged laths are repaired.
