Hi
I need to plaster an old wall that has plaster on it and what's on it is not too bad but needs going over to make it look good like the rest of the walls.
I am not a good plasterer ( to say the least ) any advice on the best way to do it. Thanks in advance. :?

Hi Maxvali,
I am a plasterer and would strongly advise you not to attempt to fully plaster the wall yourself if you havn't much experience.
If the wall aint to bad then you can always just fill in the low spots with polyfilla and when dry sand the whole thing down, very dusty though...!

Hi Martin
Thanks for that I think I will do as you say and fill it. It's a very old building so it will look OK.
