using a scratch and double-back technique. This is accomplished by applying a tight, thin coat over the entire
area, and immediately doubling back with plaster from the same batch to achieve the full thickness. When the
basecoat plaster is firm, broom the surface to leave it rough and open for the finish. With the basecoat set and
partially dry, apply the finish plaster using a scratch and double-back technique. Complete the finishing when
the material is firm. Leave the finished surface smooth and dense for decorating.
