2.3 MIXING
Mix materials in approved mechanical mixers of the type in which the quantity of water can be
controlled accurately and uniformly, except that finish coats containing lime may be hand mixed.
While the mixer is in continuous operation, add approximately 90 percent of the estimated
quantity of water, half of the sand, all of the cementitious materials, and introduce the other
one-half of the sand into the mixer in that sequence and mix thoroughly with the remainder of the
water until the mixture is uniform in color and consistency. Avoid excessive mixing or agitation.
Discard plaster which has begun to set before it is used; re-tempering will not be permitted. Do
not use caked, or lumped materials. Empty mixers and mixing boxes after each batch is mixed,
and keep free of old plaster.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 PREPARATION OF SURFACES
Clean surfaces to which plaster is to be applied of all projections, dust, loose particles, grease,
bond breakers, and foreign matter. Do not apply plaster directly to (1) surfaces of masonry or
concrete that has been coated with bituminous compound or other waterproofing agents, or (2)
to surfaces that have been painted. Before plaster 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.
3.2 APPLICATION OF PLASTER
3.2.1 General
Plaster may be applied by hand or by machine. When a plastering machine is used the fluidity of
Portland cement-lime plaster shall be controlled to have a slump of not more than 63 mm when
tested using a 50 by 100 by 150 mm 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:
a. Place cone on level, dry, non-absorptive base plate.
b. While holding cone firmly against base plate, fill cone with plaster taken directly from the
hose or nozzle of the plastering machine, tamping with metal rod during filling to release
air bubbles.
c. Screed off plaster level with top of cone. Remove cone by lifting it straight up with a slow
and smooth motion.
d. Place cone in a vertical position adjacent to freed plaster sample, using care not to jiggle
base plate.
e. Lay a straight edge 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.
3.2.2 Workmanship
Apply plaster in three coats, except as follows:
a. Provide scratch coat. Apply base coats with sufficient pressure and plaster shall be
sufficiently plastic to provide a good bond to bases. Work base coats into screed at
Bicol International Airport Development Project Division 9 – Finishes
Section VI- Technical Specifications Plastering
4 of 5
intervals of from 1.50 to 2.40 meters. Plaster shall not be continuous across expansion
and control joints occurring in walls, and partitions. Finish plasterwork level, plumb,
square, and true, within a tolerance of 3 mm in 2.40 meters, without waves, cracks,
blisters, pits, crazing, discoloration, projections, or other imperfections. Form plasterwork
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.
3.3 PORTLAND CEMENT – LIME 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.
3.3.1 Plaster except Scratch Coat for Ceramic Tile Backing
Apply in three coats to a thickness of not less than 16 mm. Apply the scratch coat not less than
6 mm 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 than additional 5 days, apply the finish
coat to a thickness of not less than 3 mm. 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 troweled finish. Moist cure plaster for 24 hours using a fine fog spray of water and
apply to the finish coat as frequently as required to prevent dry-out of the plaster. Do not
saturate the plaster to the point where free water stands on the surface. Prevent staining of the
finish coat. Provide moist curing.
3.3.2 Scratch Coat for Ceramic Tile and Marble Backing
Apply scratch coat and keep continuously damp for not less than 24 hours before tile is to be set.
Apply scratch coat in thickness indicated or as necessary to bring the face of the tile and marble
to the required plane, but not les than 6 mm from the face of the material it is being applied to
and with a level surface within a tolerance of 6 mm in 2.40 meters. Apply scratch coat after
substantial grounds, plugs, hangers and other electrical outlets, and other fixtures and fittings
have been installed that are to be secured to tiled and marbled 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 and for the full height of the tile bed, score horizontally or cross-
scratch 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 shall be applied over 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 19 mm is required. Scratch leveling coat and cure for not less than 24 hours.
3.4 PATCHING AND POINTING
Upon completion of the building, cut out and patch loose, cracked, damaged, or defective
plaster. Patching shall match existing work in texture, color and shall be finished flush with
plaster previously applied. Do pointing and patching of plaster work abutting or adjoining any
other finish work in a neat and workmanlike manner. Remove plaster droppings or spattering
from surfaces, in condition ready to receive paint or other finish. Remove protective covering
from floors and other surfaces, and rubbish and debris from the building.
