National Gypsum Gold Bond Gauging Plaster - 50 lb Bag

Gold Bond® BRAND Gauging Plaster, quick set or slow set type, is designed for use with finish lime. It is specially ground, calcined gypsum, which readily mixes with water and lime putty. Proper proportioning is essential, since gauging adds strength and hardness to the finish surface by reinforcing the plastic non-setting lime against shrinkage and cracking. A finish coat of gypsum gauging plaster and finish lime, job mixed 2 parts hydrated lime to 1 part plaster by weight, is designed primarily for interior smooth trowel application over a gypsum plaster basecoat. Smooth finish plasters should be applied at a thickness of not more than 1/16". Texture finishes should be applied at a thickness of not more than 1/8".

Complies with ASTM Designation C 28.
