WHAT TO PACK
Trowel - You will be working with both a smooth and semi-smooth plaster.
Application brushes
4 - 5 sample boards no larger than 16 x 20”. I would suggest using a good quality primer tinted in a mid grey. One of the boards should be sturdier to accommodate a plaster.
OPTIONAL
If you would like to come a day or two early to paint/prime that would be fantastic.
Roller, cover, tray
