    Thanks for another great fix. You and Jason should do a video just sitting and talking about how you got into this field of work. Inspirations and future plans for company/family. Or anything you guys would like to share. You guys seem like awesome people. Best wishes guys.

    Great. I have a repair very similar to this to do. This is what I was planning, but it is nice to see I was correct. My only uncertainty at this point is how to match the finish….I'm not sure what to call it, but I looks like it has little bits of sand spaced out. Like maybe a heavy float with 50 years of paint on it?

    Hi Kirk,
    We're working on some similar projects in our 1920's house. We've got a bunch of places where the plaster has split into two layers and for most of the area where it was buckled the bottom layer (hair and all) is still tight on the lath.  Do we need to bust it all out and down to the lath or can we just put fresh mud on the bottom layer where it's still secure and just take it down to the lath where it's loose all the way through?

    Thanks for the videos; you're inspiring us to tackle a bunch of this stuff ourselves.

      Hello coppolah, tough question without my seeing or tapping on it to get an better idea of what's going on.
       As a rule if it's seperated find the nearest studs, score at this point, remove and re plaster.
       If it's just the top coat in question, scrape off with a putty knife, if you pound on a plaster wall it will loosen the plaster, sometimes.
       Its easy, but it really does require a bit of practice to understand the shortcuts for integrity and saving time.
       Best wishes,
      Happy Holiday’s from the Giordano’s DIY plastering information network

    I have a house that is over 100 yrs old. I just stripped the wallpaper off the plaster wall in one bedroom. I washed the walls with water to remove dirt and wallpaper adhesive. There are some cracks I would like to fix. Especially ones in the corner of the walls. What can I use to fill them? That smaller ones and nail holes I've been using DAPs patching plaster.

    Hey Kirk. I see your material of choice is 20 minute mud. Your videos have got me started tearing down this ugly paneling that was put up over the plaster walls by the previous owners. In some spots, the plaster is destroyed from the floor to halfway up, if not higher. The damage is behind several layers of wallpaper, paint, skimcoat, and plaster of Paris, so some of the failed plaster is from 40-50 years ago and was just covered up. I’m able to use plaster washers to stabilize the good solid plaster. Would you recommend the same 20 minute mud over a large area, 12 feet long or so? Would 45 minute mud be any less reliable? Is there a better product I should use, or should I just turn this one to the pros?Thanks for all that you do!

      Evening Black Maxima Dude, the 20 to 45-minute mud has nothing to do with reliability, but instead how long the gypsum-based mud takes to set. The drag with wasers are the mud will have to be really thick to cover these, the issue of just screws being counteer sinked is you have to find a stud in the field of wood lath.
