How to wet plaster over a wooden wallplate.

[epsilonGreedy]

This is just a theoretical question at the moment as I consider switching from plasterboard to traditional wet plaster in a small section of my house.

 

Even with a thin 50mm wall plate minus the thickness of ceiling plasterboard there must be 32mm of wooden wallplate to plaster over on the vertical face of the wall just under the ceiling board. I imagine the wood cannot be plastered over directly due to movement.

 

What is the solution?

I normally buy the 70-100  mil mesh on a roll and tack it on with clout nails
