Hello, one of my sons has just had his first home rewired and, to save money, elected to do the replastering over cable conduits and around pattress boxes himself. Some of the existing plastering which has been cut into is old and a little powdery.
Neither of us has done anything other than basic hole filling before but I want to get on with some of this while he's away and would appreciate hints and tips including choice of product e.g. Polycell Deep Gap polyfilla? Some of the pattresses have been set in quite deep - should I make some of card frame round them to give a more even shape to work to?
I'm pretty sure I've seen some helpful discussion about this on this newsgroup before but, at the moment, don't seem to be able to locate it in previous threads.
Any comments or pointers gratefully received.
Regards, Colin
