Applying plaster is a common job in construction and home renovation. It involves the use of a trowel to spread a mixture of cement, sand, and water over a surface. The first step is to CEIL, which means to cover the surface with a thin layer of plaster. Next, DAUB is used to fill in any gaps or cracks in the surface. CIEL is then used to create a smooth finish. Finally, PARGE is used to create a decorative finish.
