Replastering over uneven walls

Posted by Peter Larkin, on
Good afternoon, do I need to wet old uneven plaster on the wall

Hi Peter plasterers normally use diluted Pva on walls prior to over skimming to help with adhesion and reduce suction from the old plaster. Make sure the plaster is sound before over skimming any loose plaster will need to be removed and filled with an undercoat plaster. Ed
