For the craftsman who demands mastery over every surface, A. Shepelev's Plastering stands as the definitive Soviet-era technical manual on the art and science of plaster application. This authoritative guide instructs tradespeople and students alike in the full spectrum of plastering techniques — from the preparation of walls and ceilings to the precise mixing of mortars, the application of coats, and the finishing of ornamental plasterwork — all presented with the rigorous, methodical clarity that characterised Mir Publishers' celebrated series of vocational and technical texts. Translated into English as part of Mir Publishers' Moscow mission to disseminate Soviet technical knowledge to an international readership, Plastering argues that skilled hand-finishing is both a science and a trade discipline deserving of systematic study. Shepelev's prose is instructional yet accessible, grounding abstract technique in practical, workshop-ready guidance that remains relevant to builders, restorers, and students of the building trades. Whether you are apprenticing in the craft or seeking to refine a professional skill set, this compact volume rewards careful study with insights that no modern shortcut can replicate.
