Steps of Plaster Repair
Step 1: Prepare Wall
Step 2: Apply Backing
Clean the wall. Remove loose parts from damaged area.
Add render or backing plaster for a good base.
Using Angle Beads
Angle beads make sharp, neat corners. Fix them to the wall at corners before plastering.
Adding the Skim Coat
The skim coat is a thin layer of smooth plaster. It covers the wall for a fine finish.
External Rendering
For outside walls, use special render. It protects the wall from rain and weather.
