Solid Plasterers apply decorative and protective coverings of plaster, cement and similar materials to the interiors and exteriors of structures. A plasterer also does the following in a normal day:
- Fixes pre-cast cornices, panel mouldings, ceiling centres and other plaster fittings.
- Covers joins and nail holes with wet plaster and sealing compounds, and smoothes them using wet brushes and sand paper.
- Mixes and applies coats of plaster, cement and render to structures using trowels, and levels and smoothes coats to uniform thickness.
- Plumbs and straightens corners, angles and wall and ceiling surfaces.
- Creates decorative textures in finishing coats.
