r/Plastering

100 year old plater, popped up decently quickly. No water damage in the room above, no water pipes behind the wall.

Which one? Ox plastic blade. All cost around 50€.

So these badlads have popped up over the past few days (like 3 days).

No new plaster, internal thermalite blocks on an upper floor. Wall built straight across the wooden floor - I can pull a floor board and reach straight under the wall and up into the next room if I so wish.
No water pipes - nowt.
Paint has been on there for 3 years. Low humidity and moisture in the room - just checked.

Plaster has been on there for 20+ years - gypsum based over the original old cement based stuff.

Any ideas please?

Oh aye. New roof on the house and loft above it bone dry so nothing coming down-over. Just overnight genital warts of the wall.

Patches of plaster just lost its key?

Hi all, my Mrs and I have recently bought a Victorian house and my god is it a pain in the arse. We’re doing the upstairs bedroom and this is the state of the plaster underneath the lining paper we stripped. The original plan was to repair all the cracks, zinsser gardz the whole lot and go over it with one of those paintable plasters that you paint on and smooth out. I know the answer is probably knock it all down remove the lathe and board it but we don’t have much money. What’s the best way of tackling this taking into consideration that we don’t have much money or are we wasting our time trying to short cut it? Any advice appreciated.

First time plastering, definitely rough in areas and will sand/fill appropriately, learnt a lot, and had a fun evening attempt to trowel up in the dark after zapping myself on the light switch. But regardless, we’re here. Is this wall dry and ready for sanding?

The other wall I already sanded because i did the wall a week before and it looked dry, but this walls colour remains somewhat consistent and hasn’t changed. I plastered it 12 days ago (20/09)

Cheers!
