hand applied plaster

Explanation:
Gisp wordt ofwel handmatig aangebracht (i.e. handgips) of machinaal (i.e. spuitgips). Voorbeelden van handgips zijn bijv. Rotband en Goldband van Knauf.
Eventueel ook: plaster/gypsum for manual application/processing.

Voor het bepleisteren van grote oppervlaktes is een spuitgips de ideale oplossing. Het machinaal verwerken verloopt sneller en lichter dan het handmatig aanbrengen. (...)
Handgipsen
De handmatig te verwerken gipspleisters zijn ideaal voor renovatie of de verwerking op kleinere oppervlakken. De materialen worden in zakken geleverd, aangemaakt met de elektrische mixer en handmatig aangebracht.

Where all other plaster products do not adhere, KNAUF ROTBAND will. It complies with DIN 1168 and can be applied as a single hand applied plaster to almost all kind of backgrounds.
http://www.knauf.gr/6_000_000_403.html

Knauf MPFinish is a superb, high quality finish plaster specifically designed for fast spray application. Back - to - back trials have proven Knauf MPFinish to increase productivity over a traditional hand applied plaster by over 130%, with exceptional coverage figures of 16 - 18m2.

1 hr confidence:

pollyfilla

Explanation:
In the UK there is a product called Polyfilla, which is one of a number of products by that name manufactured by a company called Polycell. However, like "hoover" for vacuum cleaner, somehow-or-other the name polyfilla has grasped the market to mean a generic filler compound used for spackling and small repairs in decorating. It is used to fill holes, dents, hairline cracks - dries very quickly and I think this is the nearest equivalent to handgips.
The website (which shows all the Polycell products) is:
http://www.polycell.co.uk/index.jsp
and although encyclo.co.uk for some reason lists it under papieremache, please rest assured that it is not a papiermache type product.

finishing plaster

Explanation:
I've used this material when I was renovating houses and building my office, and always asked the builders' merchants for finishing plaster, which is the final layer before a finish such as wallpaper or paint.

6 hrs confidence:

joint compound (US)

Explanation:
In the US this is most definitely known as joint compound.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_compound

Or "wallboard joint compound"
http://bit.ly/4mHAUy

Plaster (zonder meer) is pleister en is het ouderwetse materiaal voor pleisterwanden (met betengeling) en wordt ook gebruikt voor Venetiaans pleisterwerk. Het is veel harder en kan nauwelijks geschuurd worden.

"Hand gypsum" or "hand gypsum plaster" lijkt de correcte Britse term.

1 hr confidence:

multi finish plaster

Explanation:
"Description: This versatile final coat plaster provides good results on all suction backgrounds, and is therefore the best choice for plastering where both undercoats and board backgrounds are involved on the same job. It is also ideal for small jobs and patching."

... sounds a lot like your example...

Sorry, I didn't read the question properly. Your handgips is used in combination with something like the above... maybe just a filler, as in Textpertise's polyfilla.

Scrap that last comment. The 'handgips' in your link is a standard finishing hand applied plaster as opposed to a projection plaster, imo.
