Hi all,

the time draws nearer to when I'll have to chase out all the walls for new
electrics.

Got the ALDI chaser and a funny cranked chisel bit for my SDS.

But, I've been thinking - how hard will it be for an eejit like me to
plaster in the chases afterwards? And what should I use? Bonding, then a
skim coat - or browning, or a mixture of Bonding and finishing plaster
(IIRC) laid in one go (heard somewhere that someone swears by this for
patching up).

Is it best to cut the chases tight to the oval conduit, or leave a gap for
the plaster to get round the sides (better grip?)?

The walls appear sound and the final finish will probably be a lightly
textured paper painted with emulsion (no, not woodchip!).

A mate was recommending re-skimming the lot, but it seems a waste and a lot
of work if the rest of the plaster is good. Granted, you could paint a
re-plastered wall directly and it would look good, as he has (Hello Mark!)

Cheers

Tim
