Plastering repair question - I'm digging out trunking (that contains a mix of coax & badly splice mains cables...) and am stuck on how to patch it up.
The problem is that it is brick (from a previously outside wall), covered by lime & hair plaster (with no lath), and then skinned with something, and then skimmed with gypsum plaster.
So do I just fill it with modern gypsum plaster, lime plaster, or a combination of both. Or just polyfilla. Or just hang a painting over it.
