dry dash is a very hard plastering / rendering job to undertake both physically and mentally demanding on large and small jobs. Plastering and rendering is physically demanding in the fact that you have to use your body to get the job done and sometimes you gotta work hard and fast to complete the job to a high standard. plastering and rendering is also more than meets the eye as you have to know a lot of info for certain jobs as in when a big key to plastering and rendering is timing when to do what and why also knowledge of the suction the wall might have in certain areas and why and what to do about that what chemicals to use when and why and where such as bonding agents in the mix or painted on the wall and also water replants there is a lot of let's say sciences and maths in plastering and rendering.
