Hi. I had a couple of patches of blown plaster in an old wall I needed redoing. I was on the verge of trying to tackle this myself before a guy decided he could do it. When I saw the finished job it was just pure bonding plaster filling the entire hole back to brick, now nicely level with all the adjacent surfaces. This wall is going to be wallpapered and he said to just seal it with pva and the wallpaper will stick. If that's going to work I don't really care as the rougher finish will never be seen. I'm skepical though.
It was a quick and cheap evening job so no chance he's going to sort it out.
If the bonding plaster isn't going to have wallpaper adhere to it, what can I do now that the wall is all level short of knocking it all out and doing it all again myself having ****ed money down the drain? Maybe a paper thin layer of multi finish? But that would leave a lip around the edge which probably will show through the paper.
Anyone got any ideas?
