Seems to be a lot of talk about using SBR recently, especially neat, but my ten pence for whatever it’s worth is don’t!
I think it’s great for killing suction on the Mojave desert walls, but only a watered down coat followed by a pva coat. You don’t want to kill the suction completely, else...
Just be honest about it. Zooming in, there’s loads of cracks. No one wants to strip wall paper to be confronted with blown plaster and all the extra hassle but that’s the reality.
I took my 30’s house back to brick straight away and dropped all the ceilings.
Very nice mate. Top job as always (y)
Obviously the CHD will further your skills if you need additional help. It’s a small amount to pay for what’s on offer. Here’s a recent testimonial…

You’ll keep second guessing yourself if not careful as lots will be blown and if you hack off the obvious bad bits you’ll usually end up with a few ‘islands’ on the wall.
Depends...
You’ll be lucky to slide a board in tbh. You could multi tool out or get as much out as you can, put a chamfer on the board with your rasp so it goes in a bit joist side. Failing that you’ll just have to butt it up.
If your patching in don’t leave a big mound of scrim and fat where it meets...
