On removing some layers of truly horrid wallpaper I've noticed that the plaster work is a little uneven. My question is; can anyone recommend a good quality preparation, preferably painted on to the existing plaster, that will give me a nice smooth finish. Or, and break it to me gently, do I have to re-plaster the room. I say I, I mean someone else, a plasterer for instance.



I'm rambling.



Cheers

You could sand the walls with sandpaper having put the sandpaper round a block of wood so that it rubs off the tops first rather than following irregularities. It depends on how big the uneveness is.
