how to repair plaster over old laths

[plast010580]

Hello all,

I am trying to pick your brains?? I have got a job to do in an old victorian House. Its a re skim in the bathroom. Not a problem so far. Where the tiles have been removed the plaster has also come off in patches. It an old lath and plaster wall.
They dont want it all removed just repaired and skimmed.

My question is how woulod you go about this??
I am thinking P.V.A laths to seal then use bonding to level then skim...
Would I need to use EML wire over the laths so the bonding adheres to the wood???

Any other ideas would be helpfull!!

Thakns

na go with the bonding and skim you should be sound.

pva, bond, skim. should be alright. I have a ceiling to do, same thing. The bonding squeezes through the lathe and holds on that way.

Give the laths a good pva then just mix up the bonding a bit stiffer than normal and press it in... Then skim away!!

Thanks men!!!!

Saves me some money on P.V.A

Bigmart would the mix of p.v.a be the same???

 

[flynnyman]

the pva is just to seal the laths to stop it setting too quick a bit of water will do the same.

Yep or as flynny said a good brush with water. I prefer PVA but its not vital as long as its wet!!
