Gypsum Association pulls plug on veneer plaster document

As of December 2007, the Gypsum Association no longer distributes technical document GA-151, Veneer Plaster.

The Association's Technical Committee reviewed the document and decided that current industry standards for the application of veneer plaster provided adequate guidelines, rendering GA-151 redundant. Finishers in search of specific information on veneer plaster application should refer to ASTM C 843, Application of Gypsum Veneer Plaster.

The Gypsum Association's Promotion Committee, at the urging of the Technical Committee, will be producing an informational publication that outlines the features and benefits of veneer plaster systems. The association expects to release the new publication later this year.
