Introductory Message
Welcome to TVL SHS – IA (Masonry)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Kabankalan City Division and DepEd Regional Office VI -
Western Visayas through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division
(CLMD). This is developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and
responsible adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TVL SHS – IA (Masonry) Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the
leaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency
(MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will
be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent
learning.

For the learner:

The TVL SHS – IA (Masonry) Activity Sheet is developed to help you

continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you
with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active
learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and
answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule.

Prepare Concrete/Masonry Surfaces for Plastering

I. Learning Competency with Code

LO1: PREPARE CONCRETE/MASONRY SURFACES FOR PLASTERING
(TLE_IAMS9-12PC-IIIa-d-3)
I.1 Select tool, materials and equipment
I.2 Perform wall surface preparations

II. Background Information for Learners

This learning activity sheet contains information and suggested learning

activities on masonry. It includes instructions and procedure on how to prepare
concrete/masonry surfaces for plastering, prepare for plastering concrete, perform
plastering work and complete plastering work. Before you perform the instructions,
read the background information for learners and answer the different activities
provided to ascertain yourself and your teacher that you have acquired the
knowledge necessary to perform the skill portion of the particular learning outcome.

Plastering and Its Purpose

At some point or another, a home owner may be faced with the task of
plastering concrete walls to change the appearance of the wall, make it resistant to
moisture, and eliminate unsightly cracking or to add texture. Plastering walls is easy
and the finished wall will be able to withstand abrasion.

Cement plaster may be applied over the surface of concrete block walls for a
variety of reasons. It may be to enhance the appearance of the building, to level out
irregularities of alignment of the blocks, to achieve uniformity and continuity of
surface where concrete blocks and other construction materials, to provide
alternative attractive textures or additional resistance to intrusion of moisture.
Concrete blocks provide an excellent base for cement plaster because of the solidity
and integrity of block walls and freedom from some of the problems associated with
wood framing.

Application of cement plaster over concrete block walls contributes to

resistance of walls to absorption or intrusion of water, because of greater density and

1
slower rate of absorption of moisture into cement plaster, compared with concrete
blocks. In addition, the membrane of plaster is extremely beneficial in deflecting rain.

Masonry walls, like concrete, provide a stable base for plaster because of its
virtual freedom from shrinkage, expansion, warping or subsidence; any or all of
which may occur in wood framing.

Plaster that is bonded directly to blocks generally does not suffer from
shrinkage cracking which may occur over open frame construction. Also, plaster
applied over a block base generally is not affected by structural stresses which may
cause cracks in plaster over wood framing. However, stress from a problem in the
concrete block base wall could be transferred to an overlying plaster membrane.

Tools for Wall Surface Preparation

Spatula is used for scraping dirt, paints, and mild on

concrete surface.

Wire brush is a tool consisting of a handle, usually made

of wood, plastic, or bone, and a brush. The brush is usually
made from a large number of steel wire bristles also used
for scrubbing dirt, paints, and mold on concrete surface.

Sand blasting equipment is used in propelling very fine

bits of material at high-velocity to clean or etch a surface.

Hydro-blasting equipment is used in cleaning surfaces

using a sheer force of water at pressures between 10,000
and 20,000 psi, or even ultra-high- pressure water blasting
up to 40,000 psi.

 Tips for Wall Surface Preparation

 Clean the wall surface thoroughly. See to it that there is no oil spilled on the
surface.
 Paint must be removed for painted surfaces. Removal may be accomplished
by sandblasting or hydro-blasting. An alternative to removal of the paint
coating is installation of metal lath over the wall.
 Sealant should be inserted into gaps prior to application of the first coat of
plaster, so that caulking will be protected from weather.
 If mold is present on the surface, the spores of mold must be killed in
accordance with the article on mold and mildew, after which all vestiges of
mold must be hydroblasted from the walls.
