[GBlist] finish for gypsum plastered walls

[Sacie Lambertson <dlambert@grasshoppernet.com>]

The interior walls of the house I am building are finished with gypsum
plaster over 2 coats of stucco.  I tinted the plaster and then finished
the entire surface with two coats of water based urethane.  It looks great
but the entire finish seems soft to me, ie not nearly as durable as a
painted drywall surface.  Any suggestions about hardening the surface?  A
fair amount of acrylic was included in the gypsum plaster.  DO NOT want to
paint.  Sacie Lambertson
