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.


I agree it won't hide the OP's bumps and dips, but it lessens the visual
impact of them (IMHO), compared to a smooth finish.

I think blown vinyls are deeper and even more effective than woodchip.
