Hi all,
Recently had chimney breast removed and its not posisble for this to be patched into the existing plaster as finished level protrudes more than rest of wall.The 'old plaster' isn't board and skim but a proper render and top coat I suppose and is sound. It has woodchip over top.
My intention was to rmove paper and then dot and dab on top of the old plaster but having removed some of the woodchip it seems to be wall papered over a sort of salmon pink gloss - no idea why but I was wondering whether could I dot and dab onto the wallpaper. It sounds a bit backward to me but im wondering if it would be worse to remove it and dot and dab on this gloss? Never had any prob with paper i.e. doesnt seem to come off easy at all.
I want to really avoid taking back to brick cos of the mess and likelihood of mucking up floors. I hadn't really thought about it till reading this post and wanted to know opinions?
