​

We will go through the whole process in 4 stages using one 13" x 5" Marshalltown pre-worn trowel keeping the process simple and uncomplicated which is exactly how it should be.

​

We will practise the angle and pressure on your trowel so that you are applying the correct amount of plaster and also applying the correct angle and pressure on your trowel when you come to trowel it to a finish.

​

We will also practise your technique with your trowel as well when you're applying your plaster as this is an extremely important part of the process as it will make trowelling it up at the end much easier.
