Plaster veneer (American English) or plaster skim (British English) is a construction methodology for surfacing interior walls, by applying a thin layer of plaster over a substrate—typically over specially formulated gypsum board base, similar in nature to drywall.
By the late 1930s, rock lath was the primary method used in residential plastering. [3] Lath and plaster methods have mostly been replaced with modern drywall or plasterboard, which is faster and less expensive to install. Drywall possesses poor sound dampening qualities and can be easily damaged by moisture.
The tapered drywall boards are used to countersink the tape in taped jointing, whereas the tape in veneer plastering is buried beneath a level surface. One coat veneer plaster over dry board is an intermediate style step between full multi-coat "wet" plaster and the limited joint-treatment-only given "dry" wall.
Similar to applying plaster, this texture is achieved by applying drywall mud using a drywall trowel, and then skimming the mudded area again with the cleaned trowel to smooth it out.
Plaster expands while hardening then contracts slightly just before hardening completely. This makes plaster excellent for use in molds, and it is often used as an artistic material for casting. Plaster is also commonly spread over an armature (form), made of wire mesh, cloth, or other materials; a process for adding raised details.
Just be careful you don't crack it if it is plastered. 40-50 years old, it's probably plaster over drywall ... -- Captadam 19:35, 21 December 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Plaster is still in use as an architectural finish in commercial construction as it allows for curves and other architectural designs that can not be done with regular gypsum wall board.

At the place where the two edges of wallboards meet there is a seam. These seams are covered with mesh tape and then the seams and the screw heads are concealed with the drywall compound to make the wall seem as one uniform piece. The drywall plaster is a thick paste. Later this is painted or wallpapered over to hide the work.
