PLASTERING 101

Today I learned how to plaster.
No.  Let me take that back.
Today I had my first lesson in plastering.

Mixing

Freshly mixed mortar on an antique mortar stand

Building up the brown coat, I try to move as quickly as possible.

As the brown coat dries it cracks slightly.

Working the edge where the plaster meets the drywall ceiling  

Plastering is WAY more difficult than I thought it would be.
