Hello Ross, George here, the fellow with the long winded plaster related post back in April of 2017. ![]() You can mix and match but you have to go from strong to weak with your layers. This type of plaster is not recommended for exterior application but works great inside. (Think Sistine Chapel)įinally there is Gypsum Plasters. Authentic Venetian Plasters are lime based as well as fresco style paintings. ![]() No need for paint if you want a bright white ceiling. Autoclaved lime can be mixed with sand and keens cement to make a very nice sand finish that can be floated with an open cell cellulose sponge to create a beautiful finish that refracts light wonderfully. Because it is differ it does handle movement much better than the very hard but brittle portland based players. Many old homes used lime based plaster inside and out which has many advantages but is often more expensive and depending on the requirements may not be the right product because it is a ‘softer’ plaster. Often this is a 3:1 Portland:sand mix but ratio can vary depending on the application. Your pool was most likely a portland based plaster similar to what is commonly called stucco. There are several types of plaster and they are used for different things. Perhaps we don’t have to end up in court. I will suggest both Old Town Home blog and Master of Plaster company to him. Thanks Ross! Your blog is not only entertaining, but educational as well. Now I have some information to share with him about how to do it. Meanwhile yesterday I got an invoice from him for the rest of the work, which I consider the job not complete. So since September I have been looking at the cracks and wondering how to repair it. Well, about a week later, he stated that he can’t find anybody to do plaster repair. I stated that I have plaster, I want plaster repair. He told me he could re-drywall my bedroom. His response? “Oh, I’m sure it’s a simple roof fix”. I didn’t know until I was awoken with a dripping sound. The water leaked through the attic and caused cracks and holes in my bedroom. I need plaster work done in my bedroom due to a contractor who did shoddy roof work. He may come out and give you a class if you need it. It can store like that until you are ready to use it.Ĭheck out his work at the link below. ![]() He made up his batches of lime putty weeks in advance and stores it in 5 gallon Menards buckets with about an inch of water on top. John is hand mixing the lime putty and adding sand when he is ready to apply it. I repaired the bad areas will Big Wally’s Plaster repair and I was really happy with it. I had some older repairs in the ceiling that was just done with drywall mud and of course, it wouldn’t hold so we chipped out the old repair and filled that with a scratch mix. This is so the base coat has something to adhere too as there was a base coat of paint on the original plaster. Once the holes and weak areas were repaired, he applied a pink plaster adhesive to the ceilings and walls. John Rodgers of Phoenix Restoration is doing the work and has documented some of the work he is doing in the Old House Fix group on Facebook. So, is the product any good? You can be absolutely sure.I am having my plaster repaired in my back bedroom repaired as we speak. He hit it with a hammer, so hard, that the hammer head made a dent but the plaster cracked only where the hammer head was but did not fall off. he used his nail, No go, he used a knife, no go. Holding the cut square, he tried to pop a section of the cut plaster off the OSB. The plumber needed to cut a 12" square and remarked, "How much wire mesh will I find?" Imagine his surprise. How much so? Recently we cut into a wall to put in a shower. Now, 12 years later, the house still looks hand plastered and the plaster is rock solid adhered. So, when we built a home in the desert SW, we wanted to put plaster (+10% portland cement) directly on to OSB and not have to use sheet rock or a grey/brown coat first. The end result was, yes, beautiful, but really? Would they last? 1 tornado, 2 hurricanes, 20+ harsh winters later, the brick fascia pieces are still there. We looked up and saw this pink paint! On a NE home! Then he used thinset to stick brick fascia pieces to the chimney. I want to make this clear from the outset, we did not originally know about this product, our builder used it on a waterproofed plywood base on an outside chimney casing.
