FLOAT AND SET
This is the traditional method of plastering which was more commonly used before plasterboard was available. In this application an undercoat plaster is applied to around 9-12mm thickness directly to the substrate and then ruled off flat using a darby before being given a key known as devil floating and then whilst the undercoat plaster is still green, 2 coats of finishing plaster are applied and finished ready for decoration.
