Ranold, I was a "Hoddy" making gunite swimming pools when I was young ... My Plaster had similar requirements: And back then One of them was met by adding "loose Asbestus" so it would be slick and smooth upon troweling it. Fortunately, I did Not have throw it on to "Hocks" (Mud Boards to your use) I simply wheeled it to the pool and DUMPED IT!
We did use Hocks to create the Tile bed, and I usually mixed that in the wheel Barrel, not our Purpose Built Plaster Mixer. That was only for White Marble Sand & White Portland Cement a 5:3 Mix+ 1/2 bag Asbestus. RIGHT at the end of that job, the OSHA regulations Banned ALL use of Asbestus.
