Hi,

I'm patching a hole in a ceiling and I have hung up a piece of sheetrock.
There are some gaps around the edges where my cutting wasn't perfect I'm
wondering if I should use joint compound to fill them in? An alternative
would be plaster of Paris that I was planning on putting over the sheet
rock.

The rest of the ceiling is very very old plaster. This is a temporary fix
btw as we eventually want to tear down the entire ceiling altogether in a
few years.



thanks
