    Plaster is also used to invest and flask wax dentures, the wax being subsequently removed by "burning out," and replaced with flowable denture base material.

    Clay wall plaster and clay wall paint have a very high deposition velocity. In general, fleecy and porous materials exhibit higher deposition velocities than smooth sealed surfaces. The high deposition velocities exhibited by clay wall plaster or paint may be due to iron or aluminum catalyzed decomposition of ozone.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasterwork

    If a wall is to be smooth and the ceiling textured, typically the wall is done first, then the ceiling after the wall has set.
