hi just thought id update anyone whos interested on my kitchen. after removing all the tiles i was left with half plaster/ half sand render (dusty). i have spoken to my plasterer and he has advised on what i can do to help him. he has suggested removing any remaining loose plaster and then vacuuming the walls for dust. then mixing up half and half water/pva and applying to the render with a roller so it soaks in and absorbs the sand dust. this should dry quickly then i need to paint a coat of vinyl silk white paint on top. finally apply a coat of neat pva to the walls and ceiling. this should leave the room ready for a final smooth coat of plaster. i will be buying all the stuff and starting tomorrow hopefully get that done in 2 days. just wondered if anyone has any tips as i am very much a diy novice. thanks
