Plaster repair of large section
Hello all,
I am in an old house with plaster walls. In one bedroom a roof leak caused a whole section of plaster to fall off the ceiling and at an inside corner. The hole is one big section, not multiple sections. It's size is about 5' X 8' and the plaster is a bit greater than 1/2" thick. I have some questions: 1) Where can you buy the silica-based plaster (brown coat) for the base coat and same question for the top or finish coat? People at home depot and lowes look at me like I have ten eyes in my head. 2) How thick should the first coat be? 3) Is it just a base coat and a top coat or two base coats and one top coat? 4) I visited http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/hi_wal...685862,00.html . Are there any other sites that described this ancient process? 5) Do I need the make the plaster thicker for the ceiling section? Thanks for any input from this knowledgible group. Gene |
