Plastering Supplies to Finish Strong
Plastering is one of those trades where results speak volumes—and often, the smallest misstep can ruin the finish. That’s why choosing the right plastering supplies is essential at every stage.
Start with a quality base coat for reliable adhesion and quick setting times. Use jointing compound and paper or mesh tape for seamless joins. For repairs, grab pre-mixed patching compounds that dry smooth and sand easily. And when it’s time to finish, tools like feathering knives, hawks, sanding sponges, and corner trowels help you get crisp lines and even surfaces.
Whether you’re working with plasterboard, cement sheet, or existing walls, matching the product to the task can save hours in corrections.
Plastering also sets the foundation for paint, so smoothness and durability matter.
The better the prep, the better the paint finish. With the right plastering supplies on hand, you’ll be ready to prime, paint, and walk away with a job well done.
What’s the difference between base coat and topcoat in plastering?
Base coats are designed to fill gaps and provide a strong, durable layer that adheres to plasterboard or wall surfaces. They’re thicker and set faster, making them ideal for initial bedding of joints and embedding tape. Topcoats, on the other hand, are finer in consistency and are used for finishing layers to create a smooth, sandable surface. They help cover imperfections and prepare the area for painting. For the best finish, most plastering jobs involve at least one layer of base coat followed by one or two layers of topcoat.
Can I use premixed plastering compound for all jobs?
Premixed compounds are convenient and great for smaller jobs like patching holes, covering nail pops, or skimming over minor surface damage. They save time and reduce mess compared to bagged compounds that require mixing. However, for larger-scale work—like full wall jointing or high-traffic areas—a powder-based compound may offer better strength and setting time. Premixed products are perfect for touch-ups and DIY, while pros often use setting compounds for speed and durability on site.
What tools do I need for basic plastering work?
For basic plastering, you’ll need a hawk (to hold compound), a plastering trowel, joint knife, sanding block or sponge, and a utility knife for trimming boards or tape. If you’re working on joints, paper or mesh tape and a corner trowel are also helpful. For patching holes or dings, a filling knife and a small tub of patching compound will usually do the trick. Clean, high-quality tools make a big difference in how smooth and consistent your finish turns out.
