Dear all
I would really appreciate some advice on plastering my chimney breast.
I am fitting a built in cassette wood burning stove but my chimney is too shallow so I need to pack out 25mm on the front of the chimney breast.
I am intending to use a sand cement and lime mix of the ratio of 5:1:1
I am worried about weather this will stick to the front of the chimney breast as it is painted in emulsion. Currently there is a fire retarent render and skim on the chimney breast, which has been painted
I was intending to scuff it up using a stanly blade and then coat in pva. Is this going to be enough to make it stick?
The finished total Plaster on the chimney breast will be 40mm..is this going to be a problem?
If no to the above then I'm guessing I need to apply the 25mm in two coats?
Any advice at all would be a massive help
