plaster
Wet wall paste
Plaster is a paste that hardens when dry, used to coat walls and ceilings or to make casts and molds.
A plaster cast immobilizes broken bones while they heal.
To plaster a surface is to apply plaster to it, or more loosely, to cover thickly: The wall was plastered with posters.
To get plastered is to get very drunk.
