Couple of plastering questions please

[BigRobCanUFixIt]

Hello all,

I have a couple of small repairs to carry out in the next month or so, but they are all slightly different to each other and I dont want to end up with 7 different half used bags of plaster when I only needed one or 2 for the whole lot

I have easifill for repairing the dinks in the existing so thats first bit sorted.

I have removed a stud wall and at one end where it meets the block wall there is now a strip floor to ceiling on the block about 100mm wide. It is plastered either side with a white looking plaster about 15mm thick. How should I tackle that? Bonding plaster onto block then finishing plaster to finish off?

Also the other end it now an external corner where block meets dot and dab plasterboard. Im thinking bonding plaster to build it up and secure a bead then finishing off with finishing plaster.

I have read about PVA should that be applied to concrete block or is it dot required.

Hope you can help and thanks in advance.

Rob

Sounds like This.

Sounds fine.

No need for pva just dampen the block down.
