What This Stage Covers

Per the Earthaus Tadelakt Installation Guide, the finish stage is four thin, wet-on-wet Tadelakt Plaster coats totaling 1/8" (each approximately 1/32" thick):

  1. First coat: Feather edges, apply thinly.

  2. Second coat: Apply immediately over the damp first coat.

  3. Third coat: Same as the second.

  4. Fourth coat: Refine the surface and achieve a smooth finish.

Burnishing starts at a 45-degree angle and is done while the plaster is damp but firm.

For the complete written instructions, see the Tadelakt Installation Guide article.
