Your Future as a Plasterer
Plasterers finish interior walls and ceilings of residential and commercial buildings. They apply plaster on masonry, metal, and wire lath or gypsum. They also cement on masonry, metal, and wire lath (stucco). The work requires skill and craftsmanship as most of these finishes are applied by hand. The working conditions can be demanding. Plasters perform about 75 percent of their work outside on scaffolds.
