Hi there,
I've just had some rewiring done in our new (but old 1930s) house. All the walls are lime plaster over bricks. I need to patch up some cracks in the walls and fill the gaps from the electrical rewiring - obviously I've read many times that skimming over lime plaster with modern plaster is a no-no.
However at this stage I only want to fill the gaps and cracks. I've read that wickes one-coat plaster is suitable for the job, is this correct? I've also read that PVA is another no-no for lime plaster, can Zinsser gardz be used? (I want to cover all the wall because it had wallpaper on it) and it might be a good idea to put it on before patching with the one coat plaster.
Many Thanks!
