Hello, our DIY plastering enthusiast. This video explains interior plastering instructions, how to fix your ceilings or walls, and how to join drywall compounds described below as easier and more user-friendly.
I used structo-lite plaster with accelerators as I didn’t want to wait for 3 to 5 hours for the Structo-lite to set;
Unfortunately, Structo-Lite is only sold at professional plastering yards. Thus, drywall compounds will be included in this content.

I personally apply back-to-back as many coats as necessary to fill the holes so they are flush with the surrounding area. Keep in mind the first coat, when applied to the old dry wood, will suck out the moisture in the new plaster almost immediately, thus no need for scoring that first coat; just double it up immediately unless it is still soft.

Here are a few more tips on plastering interior ceilings below.
   • Stucco on an exterior ceiling   Apply stucco or exterior cement plaster on any ceiling.

   • Matching Stucco textures before painting   Skip troweling plaster or stucco; troweling on finishes.

Because it’s much easier, and materials such as drywall/sheetrock joint compounds are much more user-friendly to the average homeowner or DIY person. The information below will help you understand simpler methods to achieve the same results.
Thus I have included them to help you understand your choices.
