Painting On Plaster Work
Plastering should never be painted until it is thoroughly dry. Portland cement is best left for a year or two before being painted. Plasterwork not previously painted will require four or five coats, Portland cement five or six. If plastered work is required to be painted immediately, it should be executed in Keene's or Parian cement. A great deal more paint is of course absorbed by plaster than by wood, just as wood absorbs more than iron.

Famous quotes containing the words painting, plaster and/or work:
“Talk to them about things they don’t know. Try to give them an inferiority complex. If the actress is beautiful, screw her. If she isn’t, present her with a valuable painting she will not understand. If they insist on being boring, kick their asses or twist their noses. And that’s about all there is to it.”
—John Huston (1906–1987)
“My father upon the Abbey stage, before him a raging crowd.
“This Land of Saints,” and then as the applause died out,
“Of plaster Saints;” his beautiful mischievous head thrown back.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“My mother and father are the only people on the whole planet for whom I will never begrudge a thing. Should I achieve great things, it is the work of their hands; they are splendid people and their absolute love of their children places them above the highest praise. It cloaks all of their shortcomings, shortcomings that may have resulted from a difficult life.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
