Hi, new to DIYnot.
I'm looking to repaint a bedroom which was last painted ~10 years ago, at which point paint was applied on top of existing lining paper. The paper has begun to come away in places, and I have wanted to remove it before repainting. I was using a steam stripper, and unfortunately large chunks of plaster came off along with the paper, leaving gaps in the wall. I've stopped removing the paper to seek advice, it seems to be a thin layer of plaster on concrete, what would be best for repairing these holes and removing the paper without making more!
Photo of an example attached! Thanks.
