2. The dreaded wood chip - does anyone use that any more?


I still have wood chip in my house. It tended to be quite thin and was
good at hiding crazed plaster surfaces in Victorian type lath and
plaster walls. It didn't/doesn't hide the bumps and dips that the OP is
complaining about.


I have woodchip too, on an old lath and plaster ceiling in my office.
IMHO it doesn't look too bad, but these days I wouldn't normally put it
on a wall for fear of the style police.
