I’ve done a few repairs in the past which have been less than 10” wide. This has meant that my wide filling knife can rest on the edges of the old plaster and I can fill in the void. I can then feather it out wider to get a neat finish. Pretty easy.
On this occasion, the damaged area is wider and I am worried about levelling it. The existing skim is a few mm and hence I need to build up to this level and then feather out edges.
I’m using Toupret and applied the first coat. It’s very thin in comparison to the level I need to reach. I’m also dipping in when I am in the middle of this void. Perhaps the subsequent coats will be easier?
I would appreciate any advice and tips you can send my way. Thanks
