English term or phrase: Plaster.
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English to Central American Spanish.

Colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well.

It's a translation of a legal deposition done to someone from Honduras. He is a construction worker. This was done for an American attorney and a witness from this country. He is living in The United States for many years but he still have English problems but he has forgotten how to say some Spanish words because he is The United States for so many years.

This is for Latin People living in The United States and Americans. Is okay to translate it as yeso, el enlucido or el revoque?

Here is the full paragraph for your review:

Spanish speaker construction worker:

Estábamos utilizando plaster para reparar los techos, las paredes,los patios y otros sitios dentro de esos apartamentos en Nueva York.
