Plastering on bricks help? (with picture of the wall)

[dmplastering]

Okay so..

1.clean up the wall.
2.put water around and on the wall.
3.wait for how long?
4.mix up browning and then apply. OR should I use One Coat Plaster?
5.wait for how long?
6.apply another coat.
7.finish with multi finish.

??

1. Remove any loose plaster
2. Give the wall a good soak
3. Mix hardwall(not browning)
4. Give another soak
5. Wait a minute for water to dry
6. Fill out with hardwall and use a straight edge to bring out flush
7. Wait till it is set(will be a couple hours probably)
8. Scrape patch back a couple mm to allow finish.coat
9. Mix finish (approx quarter bag)
10. Give a coat of finnish and allow to set, take extra care around edges
11. Repeat 9&10
12. Soak around edges and trowel around so patch is flush
13. Once finish is firm give the patch a soak and trowel flat
14. Once finish is hard soak once again and trowel again. Make sure there is no lip around the edge and you should be complete

Keep the edges wet with a brush and if you can use a straight edge to level off the skim. Leave the skim to go firm but not off, this will stop hollowing when you apply pressure when "polishing" it off.

this is why i wanted that sticky thread about different plasters, a i have found out more about browning in the last 30 seconds than in 17 years of plastering!

Peaps do a sticky thread of the backing plasters, when and when not to use, due to moisture etc...

Ive never used browning, dmplastering never used hardwall, i have. You use neither. Thn a lot of questions will be answered in one thread.

Dean,, you certainly wont need to mix that amount of finishing for, as you said,, "a little job like that". Approx quarter bag per mix? (twice) approximately half a bag of multi?, far too much. It's only a little patch, a square yard or so,, a couple of hawkfuls of finish at the most,,, not even that!!

Dean,, you certainly wont need to mix all that amount of finishing for, as you said,, "a little job like that". Approx quarter bag per mix? (twice) approximately half a bag of multi?, far too much. It's only a little patch, a square yard or so,, a couple of hawkfuls of finish at the most,,, not even that!!

Yeah I know, I changed my mind mid post. I would mix a quarter of a bag and do it all in the one mix but wouldn't reccomend it so I changed it around a little. Still, better having too much than too little I suppose

I had mold on my wall and I tried to get rid of it by cleaning the wall but it kept coming back. So I had to remove the plaster to see if something was causing the mold to grow back. Nothing was behind the wall as the picture shows. I know now that my windows need to be refitted as they are causing the mold, phew.

Anyway here is the picture:

Just wondering has does one fill this in?
