After full application, the plaster should dry. This takes some time, depending on the application layer.

At the end

The main disadvantage of this coating is that it collects dust quickly enough. If the treated surface is on the street, for example, the facade of the building, then with a strong wind, this dust will hang in the air around the building.

And if you consider that this material does not belong to the category of economy class, and do it better for a long time, then it is worth weighing the pros and cons.

But you can save money if you do the finishing yourself, since the services of professional plasterers are not cheap.
