ok im new here, looking to learn how to plaster.
ive recently moved into a new house (which is quite old) and while trying to decorate it seems alot of jobs have been bodged. i can sort most of it but in one room, in the process of taking the wallpaper off a bit of the wall has blown, which resulted in a fair amount just crumbling off. ive knocked all of the crumbling plaster off, which leaves about half of the wall exposed brick (from the middle upwards) and half plastered. the area is about 1m x 3m.
i cant get a plasterer in due to the one i used before being booked up for a while, and the very few available charging ridiculous prices for a relatively small job.
ive done patch repairs on a wall before but nothing near this size. would it be possible to do it myself? or is it a bit too much for a beginner?
ive tried looking it up online but it seems most tutorials are for plasterboard.
can anyone run me through how to do it? thanks
