Hi all
I have started a little built in wardrobe project. I am building a wardrobe over the stairs where there is one of those ramps in the room. After taking out the shelf and frame that existed before i found that the area under the frame had not been plastered from when the property was built.
The wardrobe will not cover the entire area of the wall as it will include a stepped shelf area so I will need to plaster and skim and would like it to join as seamlessly as possible. I have PVA'd the wall and stuck plasterboard to it using grab adhesive and that seems to have gone pretty well. (See Picture). I am clueless in this area, have done some polyfilla in the past but went and bought a bag of thistle multi finish. Will this be ok for filling the gaps and skimming or should i fill with polyfilla and then skim? Will I need to tape the joints in the plasterboard? Will I be able to get a good finish on the joins with this stuff?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Steve.
