Patch Plaster at Window Frame Joint With hollow wall - How to Fix? Ask your questions and find answers on many subjects relating to plastering and dry lining

I've just removed the old, terribly applied caulk around a window in my new house. The window has a bay sill, such that the wall on either side of it is at an obtuse angle to the window, rather than at 90 degrees. Some plaster crumbled and fell through into the hollow wall at the joint with the UPVC frame. Filler and caulk will also fall through. How can I repair this hole for caulking?

there are 2 ways, either cut some expanding metal and fill the gap with it then replaster. Or use expanding foam, cut it back when set, and replaster
