This video really helped me as Ive stripped my flat and I didn't know how to feel in holes in the walls i can't afford to pay somebody so I'm doing the work myself i don't have anybody to teach me what to do or do it for me so you tube videos have been my life saver by uk people really helped me American videos I find they use different skills And also i love this man I used to watch him on a tv programme where him and team off people did makeovers on family's homes :) xxx

@redpost2380 2 жыл бұрын

Very good straight-to the-point approach. There are 3 loose laths that bend to your finger's touch. Someone's fist went through the plaster. Applying a stiff fiberglass or galvanised steel mesh patch fixed to the laths would have stiffened them. Also once you apply the filler plaster push in some fiberglass mesh into the freshly applied plaster. Then trowel it in to make it smooth. Just to make sure the next fist finds some more resistance.... Great technique

How do you fix the stiff fibreglass to the lath?

@redpost2380 3 ай бұрын

@@thebaneofyourexistence.3377 with galvanised steel or stainless steel staples or a short piece of galvanised strap nails( the ones you use to join timber trusses in the roof) The idea is to immobilise the laths so that if someone leans on the wall, the moving laths will not loosen and crack the plaster. If this is not practical apply the plaster as shown but then sand/grind away about 2-3mm of the plaster including an inch or so around the circumference of the hole. Now apply a large patch of fibreglass mesh which covers the hole and the extra area and repatch with plaster.

I have a 190 yr old house with horsehair plaster. I've done walls and patched plenty of them. Some entire walls. Durabond 90 (Brown bag) is awesome for this. It has a bonding agent in it. The trick with this stuff is to finish it wet, well, setting up and firm. You can get it smooth as glass.

I have plaster board, the prerunner of drywall. Most of the time I just have paint peeled areas. The only places I've had problems is cracked areas. You need to V notch the area and build these areas up.

I have a hole in tile over plaster that used to support the toilet seat cover dispenser. When I removed the dispenser I saw that the screw on the loose side was in a cork that had come out of the now too large hole. I tried to repair with a 1/8 toggle but there wasn't enough room at the end of the hole for the toggle to open and hold. If I fill the hole with plaster will it hold the screw now without the cork?

We had a decorator in a few years ago who painted some water repellant paint on part of a wall because I thought we had penetrating damp - I now know it was only condensation. However, the paint has destroyed what was once sound plaster underneath. I've taken the plaster off and I'm down to the stone and mortar underneath. Is this type of plaster good for stone or is there another product I should use?

I’ve been told that lime plastered walls (with or without hair) need to breathe, and the pva stops that, while a little hole like that will be ok as not breathable surely best practice would be to just use ready mix lime top coat and spray the area with water first for adhesion? As far as the technique, I’ll try the slidey from the middle thing

@ceet12 3 жыл бұрын

The pva he mixed was diluted heavily with water

@jsarratt1 Жыл бұрын

Yes, you are correct in that lime plastered walls need to breathe. The watered down PVA/ water mix slows down the suction of water from the filler into the substrate, as well as captures any loose dust. Too much suction and the filler can dry too quickly and crack. As the other poster stated, PVA mix was heavily diluted with water so all good in this instance.
