Abstract

A rough-surfaced substrate, such as a fiberboard, is provided with a smoother surface by applying a coating comprising calcium sulfate hemihydrate which has been prevented from hydrating to gypsum by set preventer, and which sets when brought into contact with a set initiator, e.g. aluminum sulfate, preferably present on the surface of the substrate.
