I must applause for ur husband, so difficult to stay looking upwards plastering the ceiling. i must say its quite easy for him.. lucky for his height of 1.82m.. hihihihi.. our ceiling height is only 2.5m.. so he just need to talk 1 step up.. but his wrist feel numbs after that..

Cos i think after he do plastering, the map of the world appearing. i dont think it will appear.. this is how my husband did.. 1st layer of the plaster..wait to dry then use sand paper to smooth out.. then coat with 2nd layer.. then use sand paper to smooth again.. make the 3rd coat and sand paper if desire.. Lastly.. coat with paint.. tada... here's the finish product before painting.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
