Hello All,
I’m currently looking to plaster the walls in one of the bedrooms of my house. It has a few areas where the plaster has blow, I’ve cut thoses areas back and used sand and cement to build it back out to the original lath render level. The house is about 130 years old and the old render under the plaster is very very sandy, above that sandy render is the original plaster skim.
I want to skim the whole wall as there a number of imperfections that have been there since the house was built, I’m assuming. Am I guessing I use PVA rolled over the whole lot. Let it dry, then do another PVA skim, wait till it goes tacky then plaster skim the lot? Do I need any hardwall basecoat?
Much appreciated guys, I’m very novice at this but trying to learn.
