Next, you need to choose which plaster to use. Plasters are distinguished primarily by the type of astringent: they can be cement or gypsum.

The cement plaster is universal and durable: it is perfect for the outer walls and for the room, it can be used in unheated places like garages or sheds, it is not afraid of moisture and temperature changes. Some heterogeneity of the filler for this plaster (and sand is usually used) gives it even greater strength and resistance. The main minus of cement plaster is that it dries for a very long time — to continue repair work, you have to wait for at least one, or even two weeks. They try not to use it in the apartments, if there is no need for that — for example, due to its moisture resistance, it can be chosen for repair in the bathroom, but in other rooms this is usually not required.
