Packing out

[adrianw]

Evening all.Im about to dot dab a wall that is severely bowed in the middle.Ive been advised to pack out with plasterboard first and then dab onto that.Could anyone tell me whats the limit a dab will take to avoid packing out,thanks.

can double dab out to 100mm if you got it stiff enough but just cut strips and pack it out ?

if its that bad just put a horizontal (spelling) strip into the bow, get it something like and dab over it.

if it's that bad just stud the wall.

quicker and cheaper

Thanks for the advise lads.I've never done a wall as bad.I told em they should have it looked at to make sure it's structurarly sound.

Could also hack the centre back slightly

It's all been knocked back to the brick work.It's the wall itself that's on the p+ss.

yeah could be structurally fcuked!

might be worth getting them to watch this - my house is falling down. Watched it last night

they had an external wall bowing outwards that needed tieing in. Otherwise the bricks will just give way and the walls gone.

they also needed the whole house plastering after a water leek in the loft. The presenter quoted something like 8 grand for what looks like a 2 bed!
