Fig.: To smooth over; to cover or conceal the defects of; to hide, as with a covering of plaster.
A cementitious material, usually based on gypsum or portland cement, applied to lath or masonry in past form, to harden into a finish surface.
Can be concrete or gypsum based. Plaster consists predominantly of cement and sand, and may also contain lime. Depending on its exact composition, new plaster tends to be quite alkaline.
Commonly used finish applied to walls and ceilings .
A pasty mixture of lime, sand, and water, hard when dry, for coating walls, ceilings, and partitions.
A smooth cement coating that seals a gunite pool shell. The color of the plaster determines the apparent color of the water. White = Light Blue, Grey = Deep Blue, Green = Blue/Green, Brown = Emerald Green Water
A pasty mixture, of lime or gypsum, sand, and water, which hardens upon drying. Since plaster dries through crystallization it does not shrink. This makes it perfect for mold-making.
A lime water and sand mixture as applied over wood or metal lath, plasterboard or over blue or brown board as a veneer to achieve a ceiling or wall finish.
paste of lime water and sand or fine marble dust trowelled and smoothed onto a brick or stone wall; dries to a hard lustrous finish.
A pasty composition of water, lime, and sand that hardens when dry. Used for making molds, casts, and for coating surfaces of sculpture.
a type of finish that is applied over the concrete shell of inground pools. Typically, a mixture of marble dust and Portland cement.
The interior finish of a gunite (concrete) spa or pool. Composed of white marble dust and portland cement.
Thick putty-like substance used to seal hairline cracks, texture, and seal a wall before painting.
fine white powder, which when mixed with water to a paste or creamy consistency, sets to a hard, cohesive mass: gypsum plaster used for sculpture is called Plaster of Paris because gypsum came from around Paris, France: Plaster, concrete and papier-maché are considered permanent forms of modelling since they do not need to be cast. See also Limestone, Mould
Layer of lime or gypsum, sand and water spread over the surface of a wall making it even and to prepare it for decoration. Plaster of Paris is used to make casts, mixing plaster and flour resembles stucco and is used for relief decorations on doors, furniture and frames; it is often gilded or painted.
a mixture of lime or gypsum with sand and water; hardens into a smooth solid; used to cover walls and ceilings
any of several gypsum cements; a white powder (a form of calcium sulphate) that forms a paste when mixed with water and hardens into a solid; used in making molds and sculptures and casts for broken limbs
a hardened surface of plaster (as on a wall or ceiling); "there were cracks in the plaster"
cover conspicuously, as by pasting something on; "The demonstrators plastered the hallways with posters"
affix conspicuously; "She plastered warnings all over the wall"
coat with plaster; "daub the wall"
A durable, spreadable texture traditionally used to finish or repair walls. Today’s plaster is stronger and used in many decorative applications.
A mixture of lime or cement and sand used to cover walls or ceilings.
A mortarlike composition used for covering walls and ceilings. Usually made of portland cement mixed with sand and water.
When mixed with water, this powder will harden into a chalk-like solid used to create sculptures, and other forms of artwork.
A labor-intensive wall finish consisting primarily of lime, sand, and water.
Mixture of white cement and marble dust mixed with water to smooth finish gunite pools.
Mixture of lime, sand, and water used mostly to cover interior wall and or ceiling surfaces.
A surface covering for walls and ceilings applied wet, dries to smooth, hard protective surface.
A mixture of white cement and white marble dust used as an interior finish which can be tinted, colored or left white, applied to the gunite or shotcrete of a pool or spa.
a type of interior finish on a pool.
A cementitious material or combination of cementitious material and aggregate that, when mixed with a suitable amount of water, forms a plastic mass or paste which when applied to a surface, adheres to it and subsequently hardens, preserving in a rigid state the form or texture imposed during the period of plasticity; also the placed and hardened mixture.
A mixture of powdered and heat-treated gypsum, which can be mixed with water, hardening to a smooth solid. A versatile medium in sculpture, can be either the material cast in a mold or the material of a mold, a material to be molded, or carved, or attached to something else.
A mixture of sand, lime and water of a consistency that can be applied to a wall or ceiling with a trowel. Various plasters have different uses, such as for patching holes, or for finishing a smooth surface.
To dream of seeing walls plainly plastered, denotes that success will come, but it will not be stable. To have plaster fall upon you, denotes unmitigated disasters and disclosure. To see plasterers at work, denotes that you will have a sufficient competency to live above penury.
A cement-like material mixed with water that is applied to wall and ceiling surfaces.
A mixture of cement or gypsum plaster with sand, perlite or vermiculite, and sometimes lime to form the interior wall system when applied to lath work.
A labor-intensive and more costly wall finish.
Also referred to as Marbelite. It is a mixture of white cement and white marble dust used as a finish over the gunite or shotcrete of a pool. It can be coloured or it may be left white.
A white, powdery mixture of lime and sand, which when combined with water, becomes a paste. Plaster hardens as it dries.
Pasty textured wall finish consisting primarily of calcium sulfate and water and applied by hand to walls or ceilings, which then hardens.
A calcium sulfate material that hardens when mixed with water. Used in ceramics for mold-making because it is absorbent and able to reproduce fine details.
Plaster of Paris, or simply plaster, is a type of building material based on calcium sulfate hemihydrate (gypsum), nominally CaSO4 · 0.5H2O. It is created by heating gypsum to about 150ºC.
