Compacting the plaster as it is applied and using a finer sand can help to eliminate cracks. Compressing instead of throwing the plaster is a better application technique, especially for amateurs. This prevents the formation of a sinter layer, and less plaster falls to the ground as it is applied. It does take a little more time, but the improved results are well worth it.

Plaster for renovation:
2 parts sand (grain size: 1 mm to 4 mm)
2 parts quartz sand (grain size: 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm)
1 part slaked lime

Casein paint:
450 ml skim milk
180 g chalk
18 g ocher pigment
6 teaspoons slaked lime
