Asker: One of my wild guesses too, maybe I am on the right lines. Thanks.

Asker: Something to do with "formation of a crust" was my other wild guess. Great minds ...?!

Explanation:
This is what I found for "ansatzfrei". It means that you don't have to pay attention to a certain pattern when laying the plaster (the same applies, for example, to wallpapers).
I'm not sure that this is the term commonly used in connection with plaster. If not, maybe it will help you to find it.
