Just reading the last post about plastering and wood. The last post they were talking about removing the wooden beads and putting on thin coat beads before skimming which is fair enough and I know if you were floating an int/ext block wall above the window you normally have a wooden beam where you would have to EML before floating.
What is the story with laths. Say if you had to repair a hole in the wall say 2 foot square on a lath and plaster wall. I see some people use bonding straight onto the laths and then skim. The way I was shown was chop it all out to a square and put a piece of plasterboard in. So is it ok to put backing plaster onto wooden laths?
