In the described plastering sequence, what is the final step before curing described?

• A. Cure
• B. Finish coat
• C. Brown coat
• D. Scratch coat

Answer: (A)

In plastering, the buildup happens in stages to create a solid, smooth surface: the first coat (scratch coat) provides a keyed base, the second coat (brown coat) adds thickness and strength, and the final coat (finish coat) sets the surface to be smooth and ready for paint or plaster finishes. The curing process begins after this top layer has been applied and smoothed, so the final step before curing is the finish coat. Its purpose is to produce the even, fine surface you want, while the other coats build adhesion and bulk underneath. The curing step itself is the moisture-retention and hardening phase that follows once the finish coat is in place.
