Cement is not used for plastering, plaster is used for this.
My husband is a plasterer by trade. Lime helps the plaster to cure, reduces the amount of spider cracks and helps it stick better, I believe.
becuse
Hi there, I would use a 5-1 ratio of sand to cement and use a good mortar plastisier. Use plastering sand and mix well. Throughly soak the wall first and apply a light coat (scratch coat) Leave this to dry for a while and before it has completely dried, get the final coat on. Too much water on the wall will result poor bond between the Brick masonry and the plaster on account of lack of suction which is the primary mechanism by virtue of which the Cement Plaster will remain in position against the gravitational force.
To satisfy the ASTM standard requirements for normal consistency of cement: The Amount of Water that brings the cement paste to standard condition should vary between 22% to 30% by weight of dry cement.
unit weight of cement, Portland is 1506 kg/cu.m unit weight of cement, mortar is 2162 kg/cu.m cement, slurry is 1442 kg/cu.m

1440kg/m3
cement require for 1 sqm plaster 1:2 for 15mm thickness
Require strength for Plaster?
No, plaster of Paris and white cement are not the same. Plaster of Paris is a porous material that will disintegrate outside in the rain. White cement is more durable and should last outside in the rain.
as unit weight of cement varies from 830kg/cu.m-1650kg/cu.m volume of cement of 50 kg. varies 0.060241cu.m to 0.030303cu.m if the cement is port-land cement unit weight would be 1440kg/cu.m then the volume would be 0.034472 cu.m
You can plaster a wall with Portland cement and fine sand mixture. Polymers are plastics and I've found nothing on using them in a mixture to plaster a wall.
its made out of cement
with plaster or Cement.
plaster and some of cement
