Plaster walls may not be the most popular materials out there, but they are undoubtedly beautiful. Nonetheless, the most skilled plastering contractors are, when compared to their dry walling competition, in short supply. But that’s no to say they don’t exist! You only need to know the right places to look for them.
That being said, it won’t be amiss for you to know what some of the plastering tools for wall repair and installation are. If you lean towards plaster walls, arm yourself with information about the plastering tools below!
Hammer Time
No plastering is complete without a trusty hammer, of course. But you can’t just use any hammer; the two most useful types are the drywall and claw hammers. Use one or the other to chip out large or small chunks of the plaster or even remove pieces of lath.
Bucket List
This one is obvious. A bucket is easily one of the most important things you’ll need for plastering. You’ll be doing a lot of plaster mixing, and a five-gallon bucket should more than suffice for it.
Have it the back of your mind that cheap buckets will probably crack once you do a few good cleanings. They’ve even more likely to sustain damage from any bumps and bangs at the worksite. And don’t forget plaster is quite heavy, particularly when it’s in a wet and muddy form. So, get a decent and sturdy bucket for this.
All-In-one Knife
Never underestimate what a high-quality utility knife can do for you. When plastering, you can use the knife to slice open bags of plaster mix, cut swathes from sheets of drywall, and even score the existing wall.
As long as the knife’s blade is sharp, you’re all set; always ascertain the blade’s sharpness because it’s easier and much safer than a chipped blade.
Now, as we mentioned earlier, plastering is art, and the best plaster walls require skill to make, so you’re better off letting professionals handling it for you. Even with the best tools at your disposal, only experienced and skilled plasterers can create something remarkably beautiful.
