Hi All,
I recently bought an older house with plaster used on every interior wall.
I am pealing damaged anaglypta off the interior side of an exterior masonry wall. The anaglypta is coming off, but a 3-5 millimeter layer of plaster is coming off with it. This is revealing what appears to be an old, porous cement parge that is applied to the interior side of the masonry.
I am a complete newbie and have never plastered before, but I'm interested in learning. I'd like to try repairing the section of wall with a plaster coat so it can be painted. The section is only about 120cm x 120cm, so I'm hoping it won't be too big of a burden to learn how to plaster on.
My problem is that I am finding conflicting information like using PVA + 1 coat bonding, PVA + 2 coat multipurpose, only needing 1 coat bonding, etc, etc..
My question to the forum is what steps should I take and what kind of plaster(s) should be used to coat this section of the wall?
It's a bit of a unique situation (as far as google is concerned) and I am only finding generic information/ articles. Any help and insight you guys can provide would be hugely appreciated.
