Im looking for some advice (hopefully which saves me a lot of effort) i repaired a piece of blown plaster on a wall im decorating at the moment.
The plaster was blown all the way back to the brickwork (about 2" deep)on a patch about 8" square. I pulled it all off and repaired with polycell plaster repair and then skimmed the area. All seemed fine but doing this on a short timeline in hindsight i dont think the original plaster repair hardened properly (although i left 24 hrs as recomended).
I applied some size to the walls and then put up lining paper. As the paper has been driying (one of the seams crosses the patch) the seam and plaster has started to expand and bulge out by a couple of mm.
So is there anything i can do to salvage the efforts or is the only solution to strip it all back and plaster again?
Any advice welcome, thanks.
