Finish Plasters
Gold Bond Gauging Plaster, quick set
or slow set type, is designed for use
with finish lime. It is specially ground,
calcined gypsum, which readily mixes
with water and lime putty. Proper
proportioning is essential, since
gauging adds strength and hardness
to the finish surface by reinforcing
the plastic non-setting lime against
shrinkage and cracking. A finish coat
of gypsum gauging plaster and finish
lime, job mixed 2 parts hydrated
lime to 1 part plaster by weight, is
designed primarily for interior smooth
trowel application over a gypsum
For a mill-mixed finish plaster, use
Kal-Kote Smooth Finish, Kal-Kote
Texture Finish Plaster, Uni-Kal
Veneer Plaster or X-KALibur
Extended Set Veneer Plaster.
Requires the addition of water
only. See page 17.

Gypsum Gauging Plaster (Super White)
Gold Bond Moulding Plaster is a very
white, finely ground gypsum, primar-
ily used for all kinds of ornamental
plaster work. Because of its low
expansion, excellent strength and
hardness, it is specially adaptable for
casting in rubber, gelatin and other
types of moulds. For casting pur-
poses, only water is added. For run-
in-place ornamental work, such as
cornices, the moulding plaster is used
with lime putty, mixed 2 parts lime to
1 part moulding plaster by weight.
