This book was intended to fill the considerable gap that exists in literature on the techniques of modern plastering and to emphasize basic practical craft skills. Its encyclopedic form enables the plasterer to select information for a specific job at whatever stage it is needed; thus, an apprentice may start with basic fundamentals and a more experienced craftsman, faced with an unfamiliar task, may retrieve information directly on its finer points. All the techniques of fibrous plastering are dealt with comprehensively. The book also provides mathematical formulae, a comprehensive glossary of terms, and the geometry necessary for setting out practical work.
