Use a grout removal tool to remove plaster as 5 x 5" squares to the depth of the lathe every few feet distance down the crack, then use bonding and real basecoat plaster into those patches, pushing the plaster behind the exposed edge of the plaster, feather to the existing plaster to hold the plaster to the wall. This will anchor the whole section. Use the oscillating grout removal tool to carve out the cracks enough to expose gaps in the lathe for new plaster, an inch or two wide. Use Plaster Weld and Structolite for a basecoat into the bare strips where the cracks used to be and finish with a veneer that matches the original. Learning to plaster is fun. The grout tool is really fast, painting Plaster Weld is quick and mixing plaster takes just a handful of minutes with a bucket and a pointing trowel. The hard part is watching plaster videos to get the technique -- it's hard but not that hard as plasterers make it out to be. Use screeding for excess and smooth with a trowel, with upward and turning motion and an angle so it glides not removes, water the tools to glide. Block out the light and use a flashlight down the wall to see waves to flatten. Let set partially and go back to scrape and smooth. Finish with a sponge or brush. I make my own plaster based on the typical 1930s recipe -- you can order the components online or use premixed. You can add portland to create a stronger plaster. Drywall over plaster works well but I'm not too sure if it will introduce mold or not. I remove durabond from plaster and replaster when I see it. Durabond recracks quickly without tape and putting tape on plaster makes no sense when you have that nice lathe behind it to anchor with real plaster.

I'm a hardwall plasterer and it's a great idea mate and for those places where mess is a no go, I couldn't think of a better way to do it. But in saying that most times mess is fine and I just hit that shit with a grinder with a honing disk on it and go to town on the wall and re do the whole wall again. I've played around with it alot to find what causes spiderweb cracking and other cracks and so far I've found calaire is a big issue for float plastering for interior work and for external rendering (sand finish) I've found the use of way to much lime causes it to go off to quick and essentially snap dry. You see it alot with creme cement and lime render as the lime content of the creme is already quite high. But what do I know I'm just a plasterer aha

Then hot mud easy sand for fine finish. Be careful with durabond- it hardens like stone and is not sandable.100 plus year old house, been 3 years at least and job still looks great.

I made the mistake of doing this once. For a friend of mine, it was a little 10x10 bedroom with cracks on every wall just like this video. What a massive time sink. And at the end of it all, no matter how much plastering and sanding I did, the walls still looked wavy and awful. Lesson learned: next time, rip it out and put up drywall. I think if I wanted to do a particularly nice job, I might do a double layer of drywall, to match the thickness of the original lath and plaster, but also to provide more sound deadening. Would've taken half the time, much less stress, and the cost of the drywall would've been under $100.
@RefreshHomeImprovements9 ай бұрын
Good point, making old plaster look perfect is a challenge. But don’t underestimate the mess and amount of work involved in tearing out the plaster and lathe. That will require you to re-do and re-cut all baseboards, casings, crowns, jambs etc. and then by the time you get the drywall hung you still have to tape and mud the whole room, sand, prime, and paint 😅
@madmanmapper9 ай бұрын
@@RefreshHomeImprovements Hmm, no. Like I said, I've been down that road. What I would do is simply leave the baseboard in place, and only remove enough plaster and lath to allow new drywall to slip behind it. Shim all the studs to allow drywall to equal original plaster depth. That would not be very messy at all, compared to the dusty nightmare I endured for several days. One day of demolition would be plenty. The rest would be nice clean work. Calculating work, which I am good at and enjoy. As opposed to the artistry required to even out wavy plaster. It's a matter of preference, I suppose.

Do not use plaster on cracks in a plaster wall. The cracks are not consistent in width. Plaster shrinks horribly and will crack over and over everytime it gets humidity. Plaster an entire wall the same thickness is different than crack repair. Use plus style compound for flexibility in repair. And if its as bad as the wall in the video just replace it all with drywall for a real permanent upgrade not repair

Spot on. Great job. The one thing I would recommend is of course lightly tap the whole wall and inspect to see if there are any other loose plaster. Then decide if it's more than half and there are chunks just floating being held together by the paint then yes replace it all w drywall. And I know I've ran into clients who have wanted to keep w the plaster because it doesn't mildew nearly as bad. I used to live in Florida. The humidity played the biggest factor in customers desiring the true hardcoat plaster. Drywall compound is not good enough. You can put a most minimal skipcoat of drywall compound as a finish coat to make smooth like glass. And don't forget if you do use plaster , make sure and apply primer to are for ensured bond.
