#PREPARATION FOR PLASTER WELD HOW TO#
Now I have some information to share with him about how to do it. Meanwhile yesterday I got an invoice from him for the rest of the work, which I consider the job not complete. So since September I have been looking at the cracks and wondering how to repair it. Well, about a week later, he stated that he can’t find anybody to do plaster repair. I stated that I have plaster, I want plaster repair. He told me he could re-drywall my bedroom. His response? “Oh, I’m sure it’s a simple roof fix”. I didn’t know until I was awoken with a dripping sound. The water leaked through the attic and caused cracks and holes in my bedroom.

I need plaster work done in my bedroom due to a contractor who did shoddy roof work. He may come out and give you a class if you need it. It can store like that until you are ready to use it.Ĭheck out his work at the link below. He made up his batches of lime putty weeks in advance and stores it in 5 gallon Menards buckets with about an inch of water on top. John is hand mixing the lime putty and adding sand when he is ready to apply it. I repaired the bad areas will Big Wally’s Plaster repair and I was really happy with it. I had some older repairs in the ceiling that was just done with drywall mud and of course, it wouldn’t hold so we chipped out the old repair and filled that with a scratch mix. This is so the base coat has something to adhere too as there was a base coat of paint on the original plaster. Once the holes and weak areas were repaired, he applied a pink plaster adhesive to the ceilings and walls. John Rodgers of Phoenix Restoration is doing the work and has documented some of the work he is doing in the Old House Fix group on Facebook. I am having my plaster repaired in my back bedroom repaired as we speak.
