Ive just had some walls in an old solid wall house replastered (he used Hardwall as two base coats on exsposed brick-work and the a skim of finishing plaster) He also skimmed over exsisting old plaster-work. This wqs two weeks ago.The result is appauling and he didn't bother to usre any corner-bead. I want to re-skim over the lot myself using plaster-board corner bead. Ive done plastering before but am not sure whether I should try to score the surface with a rotary power wire brush or use PVA. If using PVA should I let the PVA dry completely or catch it while it is still tacky? - also what dilution?
I,ve been told that I should hack off the Hardwall because it will cause dampness and use a render mix of 5-1-1 and then skim with finishing plaster - is this gong too far?
