why has the current plaster blown?
I suspect some level of moisture in the wall (there’s a reoccurring dark patch 2m to the left), but the skim coat is on to what appears to be a relatively smooth coating of plaster underneath so I wonder if it was just poor adhesion/bond in the first place.
I’ve kind of run out of time anyway, so gonna PVA (mainly to try and hold the skim on a bit better) and hope I still have some unopened toupret downstairs.Need to fit some bath panels too, which will likely be a shit show.
One more thing - what’s the go to for fire sealing? Just use intumescent mastic? Made some 50mm holes to move some lights and run cables, I’ve plastered the visible ones, but there’s a couple under the smoke alarms I need to reseal.
