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,

Saeed

I`m not sure that will work, the glue will only be bonding the loose
particles together,
I don`t think you will get a clean enough wall to stick to, if it is old
lime based plaster
that has "lost it`s guts" as we say, then it will have no strength to hold
itself together,
even with glue helping.
What we usually find when we are hacking off old plaster, is that the wall
paper is
actually holding it all together and large amounts fall off.
Sounds like you need plasterer.
Just my two pence worth.
