Frequently Asked Questions
Can plaster be applied without a dash coat?
This is never recommended. Dash coat is necessary to ensure plaster adhesion to the wall. Without it, plaster will crack and fall off over time, causing costly maintenance problems.
How long does dash coat need to dry before plastering?
Dash coat needs at least 24 hours to dry before starting plaster work. In Saudi Arabia's hot weather it may dry faster, but waiting a full day is recommended to ensure complete bonding.
