Plastering
"De FS in een dunne gelijkmatige laag van maximaal 3 - 5 mm dik opbrengen, vlak afreien en/of messen."
"afreien" = strickle off.
So "messen" might be to cut off, but that does not seem to fit with plastering.
Any ideas?
References?

Further to my comments above, from the reference below: 'afmessen' is a deprecated term for 'messen' which in turn is a deprecated term for 'egaliseren", which means to level or skim. As far as I can make out from 'googling,skim appears to be the appropriate term with regard to plastering. Afreien - met een reit nivelleren.... nivelleren also means to level.
