Hello all,
I'm currently sorting out our dining room and have a question.
The ceiling was plasterboarded/skimmed and has what I think is a hessian-based scrim between the ceiling skim and the wall skim.
Where I am having to take the walls back to block for repair (due to some significant cracks), I am having to cut along ceiling line in places and it is requiring cutting out the wall part of the scrim.
Given the ceilings are fine and I really don't want to be re-skimming them, is there a way to compensate when I re-plaster the wall?
My concern is that by just re-skimming up to the ceiling (after patching with Bonding/Hardwall), I've lost the strength in the join and don't really want cracks appearing later.
Are there any tips you guys have for this sort of repair?
TIA
