I am just about to attempt to have a first go at plastering a fairly

lath & plaster wall.

Are you really going to replaster over the laths? That's OK if you have a
historic property and you want to restore it in the traditional way, but
for
anything else it would be *much* less work to remove the laths and fix
plasterboard and just skim over that.

I have just patched the original lath & plaster wall with bonding, and now
need to skim the wall.
