Hey,
I am a final year art student, and perhaps given myself a rather hard task.
Plastering is obviously incredibly high skill, and i would like a bit of knowledge from people who actually know what they are talking about.
I am attempting to create a perfectly smooth surface inside a shed. I wish to follow the shape of the slats inside the shed, and to use plaster and emulsion, to get a perfect finish. I would like to avoid using chicken wire as a help for bonding, as it would ruin the shape of the slats. I know from various other things i have read, that it may be difficult as the wood isnt a good bond, but it is rather rough and splitery wood, and i thought that would be ok. But perhaps not?
Would Uni Bond, on the inside walls, or mixed in with the plaster help keep it from cracking and falling off. Or is my only chance chicken wire?
I really appreciate any advice you wish to share.
