Default Been doing a bit of plastering at 5 in the morning.

Dunno why I woke up that early like?

Anyway one of the bathroom walls needed plastering before tiling and it was
unsound in some places it being very old victorian plaster(crumbly stuff) so
I wasn't in the mood for hacking it all off yesterday so hit on the idea of
drilling random holes in the old plaster down to the brick with an well used
scarat cutter that was near blunt,in these holes I slapped some dry wall
adhesive and sized it all over to make a bond for the new plaster.

This has worked pretty well and I know I could of hacked off the old plaster
that seemingly was in unsound areas but that meant a lot of mess and dust
and filling in bigger holes that might of occured and possibly big pieces
falling off the wall.

Is this a good tip?

Your ever loving
George
