I would like to inject some PVA bonding into holes drilled into old
plaster that has become "unfastened" from the wall; it's still on tbe
wall but tapping it with the fingers gives that hollow sound. It seems
like a worthwhile idea to see if by this injection the plaster can
become solidly stuck back to the wall, before calling in the
plasterer.

Trouble is I can't find any syringes at all in B & Q, Wickes, etc. I
suppose I could use one of those would glue bottles with the screw top
pointed nozzles, but a syringe allows for higher pressure which will
help to ensure maximum coverage.


Kind regards,

Have you thought of raiding the kitchen, and using the device used for
basting roast joints? [It's a long glass or plastic tube with a nozzle at
one end and a hollow rubber bulb at the other. You squeeze and release the
bulb to suck up liquid, and then squeeze it again to expel it]

I bought a cheap plastic one from Sainsburys for under a quid - which I use
for all sorts of DIY jobs. [SWMBO won't let me use her superior glass model!
g] Not sure how much pressure you can generate - but probably enough to
deliver PVA to the back of loose plaster. Mind you, it only holds about 30ml
at a time - but is very quick to refill.
