Advice on plaster in basement

Set them with a pass, then you can run as thin as you want, as long as it’s straight.
Apply a narrow line (10cm wide) with plaster from floor to ceiling, press the strip nearly to the bottom.
Then a rod and level to check that it’s straight.
With 1.5 meters in between. Then drag the rod on the tracks when you plaster.

Absolutely wonderful with all this info. Thank you so much.

I have to ask when I get a reply. I have a door opening that is 92cm today which I have temporarily reduced to 82cm because of a fitting door frame. What is the best tip to replace the rules I set with? Should I cast a mold or can you plaster 5cm on each side? Feels very thick?

Casting a mold sounds cumbersome, you can plaster 5 cm in stages, or use some kind of block.
But what do you screw the frame into then?

Just realized, there will be nothing to screw into. Maybe build these against the concrete hollow blocks? See image. What do you think about that and which mortar? Murbruk B?

You might want to post some pictures, I don't understand how you're going to fit those blocks.

Pictures will come tomorrow for a bit more clarification.

Haven't bought the material yet, but just noticed. What's the difference between putsbruk C and KC puts? Both contain lime?

Plaster mortar C is a KC mortar, answer yes, KC stands for lime and cement.

Buy a larger door.

You never have problems with doors that are too large... On the other hand, ones that are too small are a nuisance.

Putsbruk c is a kc mortar, the answer is yes, kc stands for kalk and cement.

I have to ask you all, do you apply the plaster by troweling or by hand throwing?

 

[neo11]

One hits on the plaster.

 

[Sandman88]

You strike the render.

Thank you for all the help

Another question, do you have to tear off the render when I've plastered? I'm going to tile on these walls and I'm not after the appearance.

Best regards, Andreas

You can do a little planing, it becomes a bit uneven when you've used furring strips. But the walls must be completely straight; use a straightedge. It's not a bathroom, but tiling becomes easier if the walls are straight.
