Hi,
I have a small box room. I have removed skirting and substantial amounts of plaster has come away from the wall on three of the four walls, which I intend to build up with browning and re-skim. The plaster on the fourth wall came away entirely so I have attached 12.5mm plasterboard to it, over which I also intend to apply a skim coat, however there are gaps where the board meets the existing plaster walls, the ceiling and the door frame.
The gaps are mainly around 2-5mm wide, but in one corner and also above the door frame the gaps increase to around 5-10mm. Further, along the joint with one wall the gaps are quite deep.
I have a bag of Easi-Fill and a bag of browning, along with some joint tape however I note the instructions on the Easi-Fill state it should not be applied to air-dried material (presumably existing plaster).
So, my question is which compound should I use, Easi-Fill or browning, to the fill these gaps and should I also use the jointing tape I have?
