Hi all,

thanks for the kind replies.

I have had a big disaster

, after the first layer of plaster I put on a second layer of plaster, but this layer took away lots of details

of the wall. So back to the drawing board and make a new wall, will put on some pics later on so you can see what I mean.

Cheers Richi

OH No ,Booooooo, that real S----, all that work so sorry to hear that Richi ,you cannot wash off the plaster at all ? to try and save it

Richi72 · Feb 10, 2014

Hi Polux, Hi Moni,

Thanks for the kind words guy's

no way of saving it the depron is way softer than the plaster.

But the new wall is half done, so thumbs up, gone go with 1 layer of plaster this time

cheers Richi

monica · Feb 10, 2014

hi Richi ,thats nice to hear, but alot more work than you needed to do, i use a wall filler , that i water down more , and has alot

longer drying time, so you can rub it back with a wet sponge when half set and just give that bit more time to play with as i found

plaster seens to set fast and quick once you pore it out ., dont know if its a help off any type to you, over hear its called sally wall filler

Richi72 · Feb 10, 2014

Hi Moni,

it was my own dumb mistake, poured a second layer. The first layer sucks up the water from the second layer which is then almost dry in an instant and I know this

I got something like that somewhere, its called Molto filler here. but I don't want to wait that long

.

But there is a saying around here, ''Übung macht den Meister'' wildly translated ''practise and you will become a master'' (someday

)

Cheers Richi
