I did a small patch on a wall for my aunty it was a plasterboarded wall the hole was about fist size.
I put scrumpled up newspaper in the hole to
bulk fill it then mixed some strips of paper with a wet pva mix.
This was my paper mashy then i pushed it in the hole till level.
The paper I put in 1st stopped the paper mashy falling down the back of board.
Then I went back next day and put polyfiller on it,
then next day sand down & painted the wall with magolia paint.
My aunty was amazed with the results!!

So always keep some newspaper & pva in your van incase you have to make some paper mashy.
 
brilliant idea. Ive got a building tips book that recommended putting noggings etc in the wall but the paper mashy tip seems so simple. maybe instead of putting paper in before the paper mashy u bould break up a brick with a hammer to make it more solid????

Dam it , does that mean i gotta go back and pull all that paper mache outa them holes i just filled :RpS_confused:
 
This guy is class the stuff he comes out with :RpS_biggrin: Ahmed you should write your own book, id buy it with quality tips like that. :RpS_thumbsup:
 
Your a diamond mate never of thought of that, why dont you send the info onto the guild of master plasterers in london .
 
Ahmed that sounds like a great idea pal,only thing is i think it would work better with super glue rather than pva it would be stronger.
 
Genius.... So much cheaper than buying that crap plaster stuff, i mean, i can go down the recycling place each morning and cram a load of old papers in me van then toddle off to do my patches and repairs with a bucket of water, some pva and some polyfilla. Less gear, less hassle, genius!
Straight out of top tips in Viz if y'ask me... pmsl
 
Amhed will this work?
If I float out a wall then stick sheets of newspaper to it will this make it like plasterboard? Then can scim with board finish?
