1 - Create a vertical screed 10-12mm thick opposite of your dominant hand. That is to say, if one is right-handed one should start from the left of the wall and vice-versa for left-handed individuals. (Screed should be about the height of your rule/straight edge.)
2 - Rule off the screed to create a flat and plumb area of plaster. Apply extra gear if required to fill in hollows.
3 - Apply a second screed to the opposite side of the wall (right if right-handed, left if left-handed.)
4 - Rule off and fill in hollows to make the screed flat and plumb.
5 - Create a screed across the top joining the vertical screeds together.
6 - Rule off one side of the horizontal screed holding the straight edge horizontaly with a focus on the end nearest the vertical screed.
7 - Rule off the other side of the horizontal screed as described above, this creates a small peak in the middle of the screed which must be ruled off to make the screed flat.
8 - Apply a final screed along the bottom.
9 - Rule off the bottom screed the same way as the top screed to create an empty box that will help ensure the plaster applied within is flat and plumb.
10 - Mentally divide the box into areas. After filling in each area rule it off and fill in any hollows. Ruling off as you go helps maintain a consistently flat and plumb surface.
11 - Fill in the first area, ruling off (and filling in where necessary) once the area is filled. The previously applied screeds will act as a guide to ensure the area is plumb and that the gear is of the correct thickness.
12 - Continue the process of filling in and ruling off as you go until the entire area within the screeds is filled, flat, and plumb.
13 - At this point only the top of the wall should be unrendered. Begin by filling in a section of the top of the wall.
14 - Rule off the applied section to make it plumb with the rest of the wall beneath.
15 - Continue filling in and ruling off the top until the entire wall is rendered, flat and plumb.
16 - Create a key using a devil float or scratcher, ideally using a figure of eight pattern. 

-For one-coat work follow steps 1-15 then:
1 - Using a sponge float wet down the wall, ideally operating in a systematic pattern with a circular or figure of eight motion, until the entire wall is soaked.
2 - If needed allow a few minutes for the fat to rise to the surface.
3 - Trowel off the fat, ideally working in the same systematic pattern used for sponging up the wall.
4 - Once the wall has been trowelled off repeat steps 1-3 until the wall has been sponged up and trowelled off a minimum of 4 times.
5 - After the wall has been sponged up and trowlled approximately 4 times dry trowel the wall, this should create a smooth finish.
