Gary, thank you for the answer. The concrete bonder, should I apply the plaster to it while it's wet? And if so, should the drywall be sealed before applying the glue or will the glue seal it.
I'm not using any marmarino or anything that will give the wall a gloss, Just slaked lime, fine sand and portland cement (mixed in for the rough coat only). I agree with you, nothing trowels like lime, or has the look of a beautiful lime plaster wall.
If there is any other advice or tips you can give me, I would greatly appreciate it.
