Old fire grate is out and log burner fits nicely in the hole - needs
tiling and make a hearth at the front and plaster inside and the edges
at the front to make good. Would a rough sand mortar and then pink
finish take the heat of being sat 100mm from the stove - I can see it
separating and cracking?
Would one coat plaster be a better option and would it go on 25mm deep
without sagging or best done in layers?
