Tile removal mess
In article ,
antgel writes: Further to my recent thread about my SDS tile removal ripping off lots of the paper on the plasterboard surface: The paper is actually part of the structural integrity of the board -- it will be significantly weakened if that's damaged. Given that lining with new paper would look bad if only done where the tiles were, would I be any better off with a thin layer of plaster? (Some of the area will be retiled, so it doesn't matter, but much will be painted.) A reskim always looks better than lining paper in my view. -- Andrew Gabriel |

Antony I would be surprised if SDS tile removal on plasterboard left a surface which you do much with - other than perhaps sticking more tiles on it. Since plasterboard is dirt cheap why not cut your losses, and rip it out and replace it. -- Cheers, Set Square ______ Please reply to newsgroup. Reply address is invalid. |

I ask as if it's (1), I'm not doing it, but if it's (2), I'll have a crack. If you are skimming a wall, it's best to do it all unless it's a very big wall and the area needing skimming is small. You can't feather a plaster edge by just making it thin to nothing, so you're going to have a line where the skimming stops unless there's already a step in the wall surface which is the tickness of the plaster skim. You don't need to skim behind tiles at all. -- Andrew Gabriel |
