@saydfact stonedust is use to plaster, the period the Lagos & Ogun state government stop the mining of plaster sand people move to Stonedust & laterite mix wt sharp sand. and the get good result. Construction require the materials you can source close to you. in some part of east periwinkle & palmcanal shell is used as aggregate for concrete.

Thanks for the info, I know about sharp sand (not very sharp ones) being used in Ikoyi, Lekki axis - now i know about stonedust..... surprising thou..

My Boss, I am Fine o. Thanks for the response.
I am currently at the stage of plastering my parapet before dealing roofing and my bricklayer kept saying i should buy stone dust that it is good for plastering added to the conventional plastering sand. Also my neighbor who has completed his building says he also used stone dust for plastering as well. so it got me confused and wanted to know what importance it adds to the building.

Please, i need good advise as i dont want to regret not doing anything that is considered good for this project.

@ Chekitaut and @ segzy14 - just confirmed its been used.... and since your neighbour has tried it, why not? stone dust is cheaper than sharp sand so I dont think cost would be too high to try...

Goodluck boss

pls can too much cement in a mix cause plaster cracks. what is the best mix ratio for plastering, and steps to be taken to avoid plaster cracks. I recent plastered a house with a mix ratio of 1bag of cement to 2.5 wheel Barrow of sand and there were plaster cracks.

Your mix ratio is 1:5 and its OK......

the cracks could be as a result of impurities in the sand - OR the workmen not allowing it dry a bit before rubbing it......

for better result, you can 'filter' the sand, so dirt are removed...

mixing ratio includes:
1:3, 1:4, 1:5 or 1:6 - 1:8

I suspect your cracks is workmen error

Next time, don't trade insults or abuses with anyone in public or online. No one will notice the difference! He got pissed. You got pissed. It's not late for you both to put away pride and talk as responsible adults and clients. Prospective clients/friends might be monitoring this situation between you two. Worst still, unfortunately, it's gone public!

You can install the door with immediate plastering to avoid stealing, you can also keep the door untill plastering is completed... whichever way protect ur hard earning money.
