Give the masonry a good clean out with a brush and a vacuum cleaner, Remember to get the edges of the old plaster too, that'll be quite dusty and dust is not our friend. PREPARING THE MASONRY BEFORE FILLING THE HOLE Compare this to a chunky bolster, which is 5+mm thick and it's easy to see why a bolster might disrupt the surrounding plaster. This is because its blade is thin, about 1.5mm. However, I find that a scraper disrupts the surrounding (good) plaster a lot less. Yes, it's tempting to go for a bolster, that's what most people use for this kind of task. If you can get yourself a scraper with a metal plate on the end of a handle, like the one above, this'll help as you can tap the end with a hammer and use it like a bolster. For this, I find that a 1-1.5 inch scraper works best, something like this: Don't knock out the good plaster if you can help it. Then, when you remove the wall paper you see something like this:įirst off, we need to chip out that bad plaster, the loose stuff. So I'm guessing it's loose, echos slightly when you tap it, with a little bit of movement.

Why is it that the plaster in the corners of windows always fails? Well, I'll tell you about that in a jiffy. I recommend spending 5 minutes reading that to save you potentially hours of cleaning up. I go into detail on protection from dust in my previous post when I talked about removing plaster from walls.

If you're knocking plaster off the walls, then it will likely get quite dusty, so either cover everything, or move everything out the room. This all depends what you're doing but at least cover the area locally around you.

To learn how to completely re-plaster a wall, start here. If there are lots of loose bits of plaster and you're unsure whether it's worth patching it up, I would opt for removing the lot from that wall and re-plastering it all, better safe than sorry. If there are only a few bits of detached plaster, great, this means you're in the right place, read on.There's a bit on my video, about 3:35 in, where I tap good and bad bits of plaster.

Tap the plaster - To determine if the plaster has become detached from the masonry behind, give it a tap with your fists.

When I say loose, I mean that it has detached from the masonry behind or just has too many cracks in it in the first place.

Have a good look at the cracked plaster, try to determine how widespread the loose plaster is.

But yes, I am assuming you have stripped the wall paper off the wall first - you need to see the cracks to be able to diagnose the extent of problem.

Strip the wall paper off - I won't cover how to strip wallpaper because it's so basic.

There are a few things you need to think about before getting started, very briefly these are:

Cup of Tea - Without one, I wouldn't even bother starting!.

Thistle Bonding Coat - For patches of plaster that have been removed to brick.

Thistle Multifinish - to skim over the bad plaster for a smooth finish.

Hawk - For resting you're blob of plaster on to carry it around the room.

Cloth/sponge - It's plastering folks, it's going to get messy.

Although, a short pile would avoid a lot of mess.

Roller - including the handle, obviously! Like the brush, we're using it to apply a PVA/water solution, so we're going for coverage, not quality, so just get a cheap one for this.

Painters brush - just for the PVA, so 1.5 inches or more will do and it doesn't matter if it's a rubbish brush - we're going for coverage, not quality here.

also good for burger flipping, although you'd want to wash the plaster off it first.

Bucket Trowel - a must if plastering, general scraping and making sand castles.

This all depends what problem you have to solve, But I'll list the whole lot anyway:
