Hi,
I have a tendancy of being a bit of a Frank Spencer when it comes to DIY so tend to get the cheque book out before any tools.
I have just had a plasterer round to fix the bathroom ceiling, and while he was here I asked him the best way to get rid of some indentations and lumps in my corridor wall.
He kindly left me some plaster in a bowl, and suggested I just use p120 sandpaper to sand the offending area, mix some plaster with water and put it on, and then wipe with a cloth?
So I have a bowl of plaster with no idea how much I should be mixing with how much water. Tablespoons? Teaspoons?
And the various offending areas on the wall...
So when it protrudes I'm sanding down, applying *some* plaster, do I leave it before wiping? Or let it dry then wipe?
Or should I just sand, apply the plaster, let dry, then sand again?
I've seen people suggest to dampen the 'holes' to help the plaster stick?
This is probably a 2 minute job, but I really need to know how much plaster from that bowl I should be mixing with how much water, and how to get as good a job done as I'm capable before painting (I can paint!).
Sorry if I offended anyone with my terribly basic questions!
