Home Improvement - WALLS - REPAIRING PLASTER WALLS-LARGE CRACKS

Repairing Plaster Wall - Large Cracks
When the crack is large the wet plaster will not
stick. If this is the situation buy a roll of patching
tape at a paint store.

1. Clean off all loose plaster.

(Vis. 1)

2. Fill the crack with plaster and press the perforated
tape into the wet plaster with a wide putty knife.

3. Squeeze out any excess plaster so there will not be a
lump in the wall.

4. Let it dry, sand lightly and paint.

5. A coat of sizing will make the paint stick better and
look better.
