Hello everyone,
We made an opening in a double-wythe brick wall to install a door.
To repair and plaster the reveal, which type of plaster should I use?
Standard plaster or base plaster?
The wall is at ground level and not protected from rain. Layer thicknesses are 1-10cm (0.4-4 inches).

Is the door already installed?No, that is the old insulation, which will be removed completely once the door is installed.No trims will be applied there; the area needs to be plastered and painted in the same color.
