Pre-start checklist

Remove loose material and dust, then control suction before plastering.
Protect floors and sockets, and isolate electrics in work zones.
Stage clean water, buckets, paddle mixer, hawk, and trowels.
Apply scrim tape to joints/cracks before base or skim coats.
Work in manageable bays and avoid overmixing large batches.
