Blue Board Plaster Walls

Bob joins Bob Fragakis, a plastering contractor. Bob, along with his helpers Joe and Larry, will be installing blue board and then applying a plaster skim coat over the blue board. Blue board is used as its paper makes a ready surface for plaster adhesion. Fragakis’ helpers show how to install the twelve-foot sheets to the ceiling and walls. He then explains the tools and materials used to smooth the plaster, deal with joints and corners, and prevent future cracks. More information
