PART 3.0 Execution
3.01 PREPARATION OF SURFACES:
A. Clean surfaces to which plaster is to be applied of all projection, dust, loose particles,
grease, bond breakers, and foreign matter.
B. Do not apply plaster directly to: (1) surfaces of masonry or concrete that have been
coated with bituminous compound or other waterproofing agents, or (2) to surfaces that
have been painted or previously plastered.
C. Before plastering work is started, wet masonry and concrete surfaces thoroughly with a
fine fog spray of clean water to produce a uniformly moist condition. Check metal
grounds, corner beads, screeds, and other accessories carefully for alignment before the
work is started. Check expansion and control joints and supporting metal structures to
ensure that expansion and control joints can move unrestrained.
3.02 APPLICATION OF PLASTER :
A. GENERAL: Plastering works may be applied by hand or by machine. When a plastering

machine is used, the fluidity of Portland cement plaster and stucco shall be controlled to
have a slump of not more than 2 1/2-inches when tested using a 2-by 4-by 6-inch high
slump cone. Subsequent to determining water content to meet this slump, do not add
additional water to the mix. Conduct the slump test according to the following
procedure.
(1) Place cone on level, dry, non-absorptive base plate.
(2) While holding cone firmly against base plate, fill cone with plaster taken directly from
the hose or nozzle of the plastering machine, tamping with a metal road during filling
to release air bubbles.
(3) Screed off plaster level with top of cone. Remove cone by lighting it straight up with
a slow and smooth motion.
(4) Place cone in a vertical position adjacent to freed plaster sample, using care not to
jiggle base plate.
(5) Lay a straightedge across top of cone, again being careful not to vibrate cone.
Measure slump in inches from the bottom edge of the straightedge to the top of the
slumped plaster sample.
B. WORKMANSHIP: Apply plaster three coats, except as follows:

Provide scratch coat, or scratch coat with leveling coat as backing for ceramic tile. Apply
base coats with sufficient pressure and plaster shall be sufficiently plastic to provide a
good bond to bases. Work base coats into screeds at interval of 5-to 8-feet. Plaster shall
not be continuous across expansion and control joints occurring in walls, partitions, and
ceilings. Plaster work shall be finished level, plumb square, and true, within a tolerance of
1/8 inch in 8 feet, without waves, cracks, blisters, pits, crazing, discoloration, projections,
or other imperfections. Form plaster work carefully around angles and contours, and
well-up to screeds. Special care shall be taken to prevent sagging and consequent
dropping of applications. There shall be no visible junction marks in finish coat where one
day’s work adjoins another. Plastered surfaces to which wooden base boards will be
applied shall extend to ground, indicated as backing for base. Plaster will not be required
behind built-in cabinets and equipment.
3.03 PORTLAND CEMENT PLASTER: Apply base coats with sufficient pressure to curl the keys
around the back of metal lath or wire fabric and to provide good bond on masonry or
concrete bases.
A. PLASTER EXCEPT SCRATCH COAT FOR CERAMIC TILE BACKING: Apply in three coats
to a thickness of not less than 7/8 Inch. Apply the scratch coat not less than 3/8-inch
thick, lightly score horizontally, and moist cure for not less than 24 hours. Apply the
brown coat after the scratch coat has been aged at least 24 hours in addition to the
moist curing period. Apply the brown coat to bring the base coat out to the screeds,
compact and straighten to a true surface with rod and darby, and float to receive
the finish coat. After the brown coat has been moist cured for not less than 24
hours and aged at least an additional 5 days, apply the finish coat to a thickness of
not less than 1/8 inch. Where any previous coat has become dry, dampen the
surface evenly with water, prior to the application of the next coat.
The finish coat for plaster shall have a trowelled finish. Finish coat for stucco shall be
of the color and texture selected. Moisten plaster and stucco for 24 hours using fine
fog spray of water and apply to the finish coat as frequently as required to prevent
dry-out of the plaster or stucco. Do not saturate the plaster and stucco to the point
where free water stands on the surface. Prevent staining of the finish coat. Provide
moist curing.
A. SCRATCH COAT FOR CERAMIC TILE BACKING: Apply scratch coat and keep
continuously damp for not less than 24 hours before tile is to be set. Scratch coat
shall be applied in the thickness indicated or as necessary to bring the face of the
tile to the required plane, but not less than 1/4 Inch from the face of the material it
is being applied to, and with a level surface within a tolerance of 1/4 Inch In 8 feet.
Apply scratch coat after substantial grounds, plugs, hangers, and other such
accessories have been installed for plumbing fixtures, electrical outlets, and other
fixtures and fittings have been installed that are to be secured to tiled surfaces.
Apply scratch coat with sufficient pressure to ensure a proper bond and key with
the base and a proper base for the setting bed. While the mortar is still plastic, cut
the scratch coat with a trowel at internal vertical angles to the depth of the coat for
the full height of the tile bed. Score horizontally or on one-inch centers for the
extent of the tile bed. Score horizontally or cross-scratch on coats within one hour
after mixing, and at no time shall the mortar be re-tempered. Protect scratch coat
and keep moist during curing period. A leveling coat of the same mix specified for
the scratch coat when the surface of the scratch coat is not level within the
specified tolerance or when a base coat thickness of more than 3.4 inch is required.
Scratch leveling coat and cure for not less than 24 hours.
3.04 PATCHING AND POINTING
Upon completion of the building and when directed, cut out and re-patch all loose, cracked, damaged or
defective plaster and stucco. Patching shall match existing work in texture, color and shall be finished flush
