Hole

[S a plastering]

Got a fist size hole in a cornice plumbers removed some pipes.
Was going to just rule it in to get it back just take my time what's best to fill in first
Is it best with just casting plaster all the way through just looking for the best option thanks

hi monk had a similar problem once, filled it out with bonding coat and gave it two coats of aimes joint finish. Blended in lovely, couldn't see the patch once finished. Head over to the happy section for more advice, a few lads there have experience filling fist sized holes :RpS_thumbsup: Best of luck

Clean out all the loose stuff first damp it down and dub out with a backing plaster then when set finish with multi. put a bit cement in the multi if ya divvint want to hang aboot for an age and finish it off with a joint rule. Jobs a good'n :RpS_thumbup:

Looked at a job this week where a big wasps nest had been destroyed but was told the wasps had eaten away at the plasterboard to leave a big hole! Never seen or heard that before.

Do ya mean just for finishing off after filling out with bonding

 

[Olican]

I wouldn't like to build out with easifill, would be fine to finish with though

You know yourself arti it can take longer than 20 minutes to get something to hard :RpS_thumbsup:

 

[Arti]

i was rubbing it up for ages as well and it was still soft...............................:-(

Oli that easi fil can you shape it with joint rules to get the shape that's required mate

 

[Olican]

Personally I find it takes forever to cure on thick areas but would work if you have the time to build it out in layers, it does blend in well
