Ok, kitchen electrics are nearly done, and I'm giving thought to making good. I note two main methods for patching plasterboard.
- Cut a piece of board larger than hole in one direction. Screw a screw in the middle. Apply adhesive to larger ends, put through hole, pull towards self with screw, allow to dry, fill in gap with plaster.
- Screw battens to either side of hole. Cut a piece of board roughly hole size. Screw said piece to battens. Make good round the edges with plaster.
Any pros / cons to these two methods? I can see that 1 means more plaster needed to cover, and 2 is more of a pain. Will finish look the same either way?
What's the smallest hole that can be filled with plaster without patching the board?
