  • Any tips on removing a window board / cill without devastating the plaster around it? My current thinking is to get oscillating tool bits like this and just go around all the edges to try and loosen it from the plaster, but if anyone has a better idea I'm all ears. The edges of the cill are notched around the sides of window reveals, and I know at least one layer of plaster has been slapped on with it in place so it's pretty buried in there.

  • I use old blunt cutting heads to cutout plaster or plaster board. Works a treat but a multitool can always be a bit wonky. Those diamond ones are generally for tile grout, especially if you need to get one tile out.

    But don't really try to save the plaster, it's very likely to get damaged. I think in these cases you're better off being prepared to make good. It can work though?!?
