Hello,

I removed the textured wallpaper from my concrete ceiling and now want to achieve a smooth ceiling surface. Basically, I would like to use a lime plaster for this. It was suggested that if I use the products from Hessler, I should first apply the HP 14 at a thickness of 5mm (0.2 inches) and then use the HP 90 for smoothing.

How well does the HP 14 adhere to a concrete ceiling? Unfortunately, I have no experience plastering ceilings yet (only walls). What should I keep in mind here?

In my opinion, the concrete ceiling is already fairly smooth and free of major holes (see pictures, better ones to follow). Is applying a 5mm (0.2 inches) layer really necessary?

Best regards
A

I did not understand or cannot follow the connection with the 5mm (0.2 inch) build-up layer!
