I have a rowhome built in 1935. It's brick, block and plaster over wood lath. I have removed plaster from a wall while doing a kitchen remodel. I have removed a wall so now I need to deal with not only replastering the wall but creating an arch on the wall at right angles to the previously mentioned wall. I am in over my head but determined to do this. My plan is to replace the wood lath now that all the old plaster is cleared and do stuccto-lite 2 coats followed by lime putty finish coat, lime with gauging plaster. I've had to travel to find the gauging plaster and lime-it's hard to find products. Now I'm wondering if I should use plasterboard/rock board/ instead of the wood lath but that is another expense since I already have the wood lath. I plastered the block in the basement so I've had some practice but not much experience on an inside wall. I do want the experience
