Hi,
I will be decorating above a ‘hole in the wall’ fireplace. I can feel/hear there is loose plaster above the opening, it seems there is a crescent shape of loose plaster under the lining paper maybe 50 wide by 30 cm high.
Is it worth using heat resistant plaster? I’ve seen this stuff is good for up to 500 degrees so I guess it’s not really aimed at the wall above a fireplace opening, but would it resist cracking?
Any tips on how best to repair the loose plaster gratefully received.
