Venetian plaster techniques include marmorino , scagliola , and sgraffito . When left un burnished, Venetian plaster has a matte finish that is rough and stone like to the touch. Un burnished Venetian plaster is also very brittle and damages rather easily. When applied correctly, Venetian plaster can be used to create a highly polished, rock hard, marble like finish. Venetian plaster is especially useful on surfaces where marble panels could not be installed easily, and on surfaces that would be too expensive to have carved from real marble such as columns, corbels and curved walls. Venetian plaster can be tinted, or colored using natural or synthetic colorants. The ability to tint Venetian plaster is especially helpful when a specific color of marble is desired, or when a color that does not exist naturally is wanted.

multiple issues orphan August 2010 unreferenced January 2010 wikify January 2010 Plaster spraying allows a plasterer to skim a drywall more than five times faster than using a hand float to apply it. Although classic gypsum based plaster can be sprayed if it is spray grade, most plaster sprayers prefer the organic based pre mixed plaster packaged in a plastic bag because the plaster spraying machine does not need to be cleaned out after the job is finished, providing that plaster is kept moist. The pre mixed plaster also has the advantage that any surplus can be recycled, almost eliminating waste, and plasterers do not need to haul water and mix the plaster from powder. A drywall skimmed with pre mixed plaster can be painted in less than 24 hours, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity. Equipment Plaster sprayers are of three types Worm drive pump Most commonly, sprayers have a worm drive pump that pumps the plaster up to a spray gun that has a large nozzle, usually 4 to 8 mm, that extrudes the plaster into a chamber on the end of the gun. In this chamber, compressed air is introduced to blast the plaster into a spray. Worm drive pumps have a rubber stator which is not compatible with solvent based materials. Peristaltic pump There are a few plaster sprayers that have a peristaltic pump a tube squeezed by rollers which also requires compressed air to produce a spray. These types of plaster sprayer can also spray textured coatings with particle sizes up to about 3mm diameter, providing that they are not solvent based. Piston pump Newer types of plaster sprayer have a piston pump, which has sufficient pressure to spray smooth untextured plaster without compressed air. Full airless pumps are sometimes used to spray smooth plaster, although they are not ideal as the flow rate is too low for volume projects however, they can be used to spray solvent based plasters ... exits the gun together.
