Which smooth plaster for interior use?

For most providers, of course, the ideal material since it is cheap and easy to work with...

You are just confirming that you have thoroughly internalized the "advertising messages" of the stone industry.

But interesting how they immediately refer back to the builder – otherwise dismissed as a layman without knowledge, but then he is supposed to deal with drying times?

Although they often do not do so, it does not mean they bear no partial responsibility when – to return to the topic – the gypsum reacts on the cement.

I will continue to insist on a shared responsibility of the builder(s); layman or not. Whoever is willing to move huge amounts of money must also educate themselves about what their money is being used for. Especially in light of the fact that with technology, even the last adjustment screw is being questioned. Ignorance does not protect one from punishment in this area of life either (result of naïve action).

Incidentally, it does not necessarily have to be the builder who assumes the role of providing information. If an external expert is brought in, this not only eases the construction process but also provides a reliable address for any inquiries and – in the worst case – an insurer liable for damages.

Although they often do not, it does not mean that they bear no partial blame when - to return to the topic - the plaster reacts on the cement.

In the context of turnkey construction, the client must, in my opinion, be able to rely fully on the contractor. The latter usually does not tire of emphasizing that everything will be fine (especially before signing). The contractor basically owes a defect-free house, and it is solely their responsibility to create a suitable construction schedule (including drying times, if necessary).

....

To what extent does chemistry accelerate drying? Different solvent instead of water? IMHO, one can only influence the setting behavior (e.g., of a screed). The drying time mainly depends, in my opinion, on the external conditions.

Very interesting topic here We are currently plastering with lime-cement. I am very curious to see if it can be simply painted over.

If only normally plastered, the wall is then quite rough - I know a house where they painted it like that and I also found it quite stylish. I will decide after plastering whether we will have some areas skimmed again with a top coat made of KZ. : You noticed well - it is just turned as it fits best.

What exactly is meant by drying time, and how long does it last?

It depends on the respective material and should be stated on the leaflet of the delivered material. But the executing craftsman company will also provide you with meaningful answers on the subject. Rhineland greetings

You are wrong, because apart from the fact that you rarely use a ready mix for KZ plaster, even those bags say nothing about the drying time - I have bags in front of me right now. Too many factors play a role.
