Looking for help. I have about 8 holes like the images and had various
recommendations.Â* This is what looks like plaster or browning straight onto
breezeblocks. No plasterboards.
Some say, use pva and the pollyfilla then sand and PVA again. Others say
just
use plaster.
Not sure what to use for the best. https://www.homeownershub.com/img/h9

PVA inside of the hole or the water will be quickly sucked out of the
plaster or filler you use to fill the hole and it will crack up. Use a
50:50 mix of PVA and water and paint the whole inside of the holes. Let
it dry and just before applying the pollyfiller just give it a quick
coat of PVA/Water again.

You may want to apply two coats of filler, the first one to just below
the finished surface and a second thin coat level with the finished
surface. This will help minimise any sanding. You could use a finishing
plaster as the "filler"
