The Importance of Plaster Repair
You may be thinking that repairing plaster is a job that you can put off until later. However, there are several reasons why it's important to repair your plaster as soon as possible.
Here are 3 reasons to repair your plaster:
- Plaster provides insulation and helps regulate the temperature of a room. If you see cracks or holes in your plaster, it can't do its job effectively and your energy bills will be higher.
- Plaster is a hard surface that is resistant to wear and tear, but it's not completely indestructible. If plaster walls aren't repaired immediately, the damage may become more severe over time.
- Failing to repair plaster can result in the wall being structurally unsound and unsafe. As a result, accidents such as plaster falling on someone's head are more likely to happen.
The Process of Plaster Repair
The first step is to prep the area. Remove any loose or flaking plaster. You may use a chisel and ball pein hammer. This will help chip away the damaged plaster. Once done, use a scraper to clear excess debris.
Once prepping is complete, use a ready-mix base-coat plaster. Apply the mixture with a wallboard knife and spread it over the damage. Next, apply a second layer before letting the plaster dry.
When the second layer dries, add mixed joint compound. This helps smooth out the surface, creates a seamless finish, and covers up any other imperfections. Afterward, sand the entire area for an even finish. Finally, prime and paint the area to match your existing color or décor.
