Preparing walls for plaster skim?
Is there a product I can use to dissolve the mortar, or a tool I can hire
that will make light work of the mess I have to clear? If I carry on as I am it's going to take days! I used a belt sander. Smoothed off the old cement ridges in about 10 minutes. A bit dusty, mind. Christian. |

I'm getting there, I guess I was looking for a no-effort solution, but I've ended up steaming off the worst of the mortar, then finishing with an electric sander... That makes lighter work or if than the hand scraper. Thanks. Andy |
