Hello all,
I've just finished dismantling a built in cupboard in the boxroom. It's come out quite cleanly but with some plaster damage in areas (up to approx 15cm holes). The plaster is a solid surface coat with a kind of soft powdery grey substrate underneath with a texture somewhere between talc and sand - this goes back to the brick. I'd like to patch the plaster but the surface is pretty unstable, so a couple of questions...
Is this an old plaster method and if so what is it known as (apart from crap and annoying)?
Can I just stabilise it using some PVA mix and plaster onto it to patch it up and if not what should I do?
Cheers,
Buckie.
