Hi there
I am about to repaint the kitchen and noticed that a particular section of wall had flakey paint and soft white plaster beneath it. I removed this white (I guess finishing) plaster to discover that this had been applied as a patch directly to the brickwork and in fact over large some gaps in the bricks which had been filled with paper bags! It is in the area near where previous owners had relocated pvc door.
Pictures show what is left after white plaster and paper bags removed. Some of the brown plaster came off as well but what you see on pics is pretty secure.
I'd like to quickly repair this so that can start the repaint. (baby due soon)
Should I use mortar in the bricks, then patching then finishing plaster? If so what are the suggested drying times between each stage? And would I need PVA on the bricks before plastering?
Or is there another suggestion (besides using paper bags in the brickwork)
1st time on the forum so thanks in advance for any help.
