.... a bit of the wall wanted to come with it! Was using a steamer at the
time and the plaster behind the paper bubbled right out. Held it against the wall until it cooled down and dried a bit. Now it's completely dry, it's still in one piece, but cracked a bit and definitely not sound (it pushes back a couple of mm). What are my options now? Can you knock sections out and put a "chunk" of plaster back in? Should I ignore it, fill the fine cracks with Pollyfilla and paper over it? I'm not sure what's behind it - would it be the skimmed plaster and plasterboard be behind or could it just be thin plasterboard? It's a 1930's house if that's relevant. a |
