Default Plaster repair

LOL Sedatives, I think you meant sediment.

Don't drink the water with sedatives, you will get very sleepy.

The point is make sure the reason for the damaged wall is fixed too

If the wall is likely to see water again, go with a really tough fix. Use
cement board instead of wallboard and use FixAll instead of plaster. The
wall will be like stone when you are done but can still be drilled. Cement
board comes in smaller and thinner sizes than wallboard giving even more
options.

With this treatment, you could tile with no further prep.

actually on the bottom of the a.c. unit there a hole that could be clog
with sedatives, this hole should drain the water outside, but since it
clog this why its leaking inside the window it has no place to go.....

In what way is it damaged? Is the plaster coming off in chunks, or getting


ready to? Does it seem to have separated from the lath (the wood behind

the
plaster)? You can sometimes see this, because the plaster bulges, or you

can
press gently and see if there seems to be space behind the plaster.
