Thanks. I guess I PVA the new bonding, extg wall but not the plasterboard? There are wooden beads either side of the gyproc, I can just about chisel some of it out, but not all of it. I guess I can squeeze bonding into the gaps?

Thanks for your reply. The plasterboard is already in place and sits back from the existing wall by up to 10mm in some places, less in other places, that's why I thought to use bonding to bring it flush. Is that okay?

In regards to this picture, can someone tell me if this is correct please? First scape all the loose paper, paint etc off the wall and clean with sugar soap. Then; 1. Tape the joints 2. Fill the low areas and gaps with bonding 3. Paint with 2 coats of PVA; 1st coat 5:1' 2nd coat 3:1...

I guess that could be an expensive way to fill big holes/cracks?

That's brilliant. Thank you for taking the time to explain.

I've been trying to understand what to use to fill cracks, holes etc. It seems you can use polyfilla, one coat, hardwall, easy fill, bonding, multifinish... Is there a simple guide, what to use and when? Any help appreciated.

My son has been on an intensive training course, learning how to plaster. He's been practising in our garage by taking wet plaster from a board and just keeps loading his trowel, then puts it back, and Repeats. He's fed up with this now, I suppose the only other thing he can do is get a...
