Can you put plaster over wood and what kind of prep do you have to do to make it stick?


Question:

Answers:
Plaster will not cling to wood properly. You need some kind of "lath" to hold it on. The most common kind now is diamond lath, an expanded metal sheet. You nail the lath on then plaster over. The plaster works through the holes in the lath which allows it to hold.

The sheets are 27" x 96" and should be available where you buy your plaster.


yes you can, sand first with 40 grit paper.
not bare wood
