What do I use to fill these plaster holes in?

by pesmith359 » Thu Oct 06, 2022 5:34 pm

Hi all,
I’ve been stripping the walls and because they had several layers of wood chip I decided to use a steamer. But the steamer also took some of the plaster off.
(See Photos)
What’s the best product to use for filling these in?
I will be during backing paper then painting it.

Hi pesmith359,
You will first have to chip around the edges and remove any areas of loose finish coat plaster. Then either seal the bare areas and apply another coat of plaster or fill with a powder type filler which you can sand flat once it's set.
Regards S
