plasterer
Plasterers apply plaster made from gypsum, cement or other solutions to walls as a smooth finish. They mix dry plaster powder with water, then smear the resulting paste onto a wall. The plaster is then smoothed before it hardens and forms a solid coating on the wall.
Also called: heritage plasterer, fibrous plasterer, wall finisher, solid plasterer, plaster labourer, plaster worker, stucco mason, wall plasterer
