om...

I would suggest just filling the really bad ones, sanding the wall by
hand (i found it quicker than an orbital sander? and you get a flater
finish because your not just sanding little areas at a time) just to
remove any lumps, then use lining paper.... then paint..

Cool. At the moment, I think I'm pretty much at the lining paper stage
already from your description. I've already done quite a few fills, though
there are some ones that were missed or need a little more work.

None of the transitions between fix and original plaster are greater than
1mm though. Would backing-paper cover that without much preparation? Would
the extra coats of PVA suggested by Stuart make this even less noticable?

Cheers,

Fraser.
