Adding Detail to the Plaster Cornice Video

Bob visits with Ralph and the plasterer to watch them add details to the plaster cornice. The scratch coat is complete and the white coat is underway. Several types of plaster are combined and each batch is workable for only 5 minutes before it hardens. A template is pulled across the spread plaster to form the cornice profile.
