Blending into old plaster

[NIGEUNDERS]

Hi all been asked to do a job for a friend where they have extended a stud wall and now want it plastered, but does not want the whole wall done just the new plaster board. What is the best way to plaster the new wall and blend it into the old plaster without it being noticeable?

Cheers Nige

Can you plaster? Getting an invisible join can be done but it often involves more work (& usually some filling!) than skimming the whole wall. I always prefer to do this, the cost of extra materials is minimal as the amount of extra time involved between blending in & skimming the whole wall (unless its really large) is often minimal & it’s the only real way I will guarantee you not seeing the join. If you can you give a bit more information regarding how the stud has been extended/joined, I can give more detailed advice.
