  2. Plasterwork - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasterwork

    This leads to the need of what is called "grinding" as one must go over the hard wall again and again trying to smooth out the hardened wall and any major catfaces must be filled in with a contour putty, joint compound, or reworked by blending in a fresh, thin coat. The finished wall will look glossy and uniformly flat and is smooth to the touch.

  3. Spackling paste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spackling_paste

    Spackle applied to a rough surface using a putty knife Spackling paste or spackle is a putty used to fill holes, small cracks, and other minor surface defects in wood , drywall , and plaster . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Typically, spackling is composed of gypsum plaster from hydrated calcium sulfate and glue .

  4. Non-Newtonian fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Newtonian_fluid

    Another example of non-Newtonian fluid flow is chilled caramel ice cream topping (so long as it incorporates hydrocolloids such as carrageenan and gellan gum). The sudden application of force —by stabbing the surface with a finger, for example, or rapidly inverting the container holding it—causes the fluid to behave like a solid rather than ...

  5. Plaster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaster

    Its purpose is to replace conventional gypsum plasters in cases where the temperature can get too high for gypsum plaster to stay on the wall or ceiling. An example of a heat-resistant plaster composition is a mixture of Portland cement, gypsum, lime, exfoliated insulating aggregate (perlite and vermiculite or mica), phosphate shale, and small ...

  6. Lime mortar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_mortar

    A matured lime putty is thixotropic, meaning that when a lime putty is agitated it changes from a putty into a more liquid state. This aids its use for mortars as it makes a mortar easier to work with. If left to stand following agitation a lime putty will slowly revert from a thick liquid to a putty state. [citation needed]

    Blu Tack White Blu Tack out of the box. Blu Tack is a reusable putty-like pressure-sensitive adhesive produced by Bostik, commonly used to attach lightweight objects (such as posters or sheets of paper) to walls, doors or other dry surfaces.

  8. Boundary conditions in fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

    Showing wall boundary condition. The most common boundary that comes upon in confined fluid flow problems is the wall of the conduit. The appropriate requirement is called the no-slip boundary condition, wherein the normal component of velocity is fixed at zero, and the tangential component is set equal to the velocity of the wall.

  9. Adhesive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive

    It is the earliest example of tar-hafted stone tools. [4] An experimental archeology study published in 2019 demonstrated how birch bark tar can be produced in an easier, more discoverable process. It involves directly burning birch bark under an overhanging rock surface in an open-air environment and collecting the tar that builds up on the ...
