of sand while mixing to get consistency of mortar.
 Prepare the mortar in clear area in proportion as specified.
 Mix plastering mortar should only be consumed with in next 2 hours.
 Mix proportion required is 1:5.5

C. WORK PROCEDURE

1ST COAT APPLICATION:

 Mortar is used and its thickness is 10mm and keep it for 1 day (rough finish).

2nd COAT APPLICATION:

 2nd and final coat thickness is 7mm and keeps it about 2 hours (depending on the moisture
of mortar which is subjected to weather and area temperature) till the mortar get bit dry
before applying the finishing coat. Level the plastering surface to the guide level.

FINISHING COAT:
 Mortar with fine sand to be used and with 3mm thickness make the surface flat and

 Float the surface and finish as per required thickness.
 Repeat this operation for the entire area in stages (1st to final coat application)
 Provide scaffolding when work height is more than 1.5 meter
 Intermittently do check the surface for plumb, line and level and make up all deficiencies.
