Introduction: Why Ready Mix Plaster Is the Future of Construction
In modern construction, ready mix plaster has revolutionized the way walls are finished. Unlike traditional sand-cement plaster, ready mix plaster offers a consistent, high-quality finish, reduces labor, and significantly speeds up construction timelines.
But efficiency isn’t just in the product—it lies in how you apply it.
In this blog, you’ll learn the right tools, techniques, and pro tips for applying ready mix plaster effectively.
What Is Ready Mix Plaster?
Ready Mix Plaster is a pre-packed dry mixture made from high-quality cement, graded sand, and performance-enhancing additives. It’s designed for direct application on brick walls, concrete blocks, and RCC surfaces.
Benefits of Using Ready Mix Plaster
- ✅ Time-saving – No mixing of raw materials on-site
- ✅ Consistent Quality – Factory-controlled composition
- ✅ Less Wastage – Pre-portioned mix reduces material loss
- ✅ Strong Adhesion – Works well on various substrates
- ✅ Improved Aesthetics – Smooth and uniform surface finish
Step-by-Step Guide to Apply
Step 1: Surface Preparation
- Clean the wall surface (no dust, oil, grease, or loose particles).
- Use a hacking tool if applying on smooth RCC surfaces.
- Lightly dampen the wall before applying the plaster. Do not over-wet.
Step 2: Mixing the Plaster
- Pour approx. 6.5 – 7 liters of clean water into a bucket.
- Gradually add one 40 kg bag of ready mix plaster.
- Mix with a mechanical stirrer for 3-5 minutes until smooth.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes. Mix again before use.
Step 3: Application
- Apply the plaster using a steel trowel in layers.
- Maintain a 10–12 mm thickness for single coat.
- Level the surface with a float for a smooth, uniform finish.
- Avoid overworking the plaster after it begins to set.
Step 4: Curing
- Light curing is required depending on humidity and temperature.
- Spray water 1–2 times daily for 2–3 days for better bonding.
