I'm renovating my basement and currently chipping away paint/plaster from the walls. I plan to re-plaster these walls but wish to keep them in the plaster's natural color. What should be used to treat the surface to bind the dust?
Regarding the plaster, I have been advised to first wash the walls with plaster and a lot of water, then mesh, and afterwards apply the plaster. Is this correct?
What type of plaster would you recommend? There are 1.5m thick granite walls outside the brick walls. Thank you in advance.

It is difficult to assess, but should it be a furnished basement?
Full heating and inhabited?
Anyway, start with weber https://www.se.weber/fasad-puts-och-murbruk/putsbruk/weber-grundningsbruk-kc
And coat with 3 mm webers plaster mortar c 134, and finish with weber 135 1mm mortar.
If it's a raw basement, use b mortar instead of c.

Difficult to answer regarding the consistency as it varies so much within plaster, but in your case with covering electrical cables, it should be like oatmeal, a bit thick like that.
But very dark plaster, you should buy something else.

Ok, yes, you should use plaster mortar C. It doesn't need to say mortar on the bag (less convenient).
Looks good, just remember to always pre-water all surfaces you apply lime-based mortar on.

Was the question about netting directed to the forum? From the 2 pictures you've posted, I don't see anything that needs netting.
What is the wall for mortar?
I don't quite understand how A mortar came into the context in the bathroom.
But the answer to the question is loose mortar, not like water, but not very far from it.
And apply with a trowel, it should be so loose that it almost starts to run down the wall after the application.
But it doesn't need to be completely covering.
Next time, you apply with a stiffer mortar and spread it on the wall with a skånska or similar.
But pre-water for adhesion.

You might as well start with putsbruk c, just mix it loosely. And a little pre-watering. But if you have already bought a bruk a, use that.

Set them with a level, then you can go as thin as you want, as long as it's straight.
Apply a narrow line (10cm wide) of plaster from floor to ceiling, press the strip almost to the bottom.
Then a pole and level to check that it is straight.
With 1.5 meters apart. Then swipe the pole on the tracks when you plaster.
