Hello Decorators,
I have removed some MDF shelving in my alcove. On the left side is an unused/inactive chimney and right side is just regular wall, where you can also see some shelving on the other side still to be tacked.
Anyhow, the shelves were actually a box structure and when removing the MDF panels on the left and right walls, some of the plaster came off with it. The right side seems pretty simple. Seems some old plaster covered with some bonding coat. Idea would be to lightly brush some pva.. let dry and then toupret TX110 to fill and finish. Some sanding painting.. done
Left side seems a bit more tricky. Uploaded wider and one more detailed high res, in case anyone has any strong views they see potential asbestos plaster... it's different than on the other side, but to me it looks like the regular old grey plaster and then some other lighter top coat plaster.
The grey part I suppose I can also just PVA and fill with toupret tx110, it's tricky on the edges though. On the left side you can see the edge, which looks to have been taped and some of it ripped. I definitely do not want to redo the entire edge... any suggestions on the best course of action here please?
