Hello.
We have taken down an interior wall that was connected to our chimney. The stud was nailed to the chimney, and the plaster on the chimney was about 10-15mm out. So now I have an ugly groove where the stud was. How do I fix this? I'm not particularly keen on plastering. Difficult and messy. A friend mentioned something about using tile adhesive. Does that work?
Anything in particular you recommend?
And is there anything specific to consider before starting the work?

Would tile adhesive be easier than plastering, my friend meant? I don't really understand how?
Plastering is the only thing I can think of. Or filling but it's kind of the same. It's not so messy and fiddly when it's such a limited area.

I have no idea, that's partly why I'm asking. He implied that there is something like filler, which you can apply with a putty knife. I think he said tile adhesive. Plaster is more messy and sloppy. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Against better judgment, please correct me if I'm wrong forum, I wouldn't have used tile adhesive. I don't see the benefit in it.
How sticky and messy the plaster becomes depends entirely on how you mix it. Use less water to make it firmer. Otherwise, use wall filler. The risk there is that it might crack if the layer is too thick.

I would use gypsum, it becomes a nice and easily applied mixture. Then a fine filler. Husfix works excellently. But it is much more expensive. Both of these become very hard, so smooth it out thoroughly. Not easy to sand afterward.S StevieGee said:
I would take a sack of Putsbruk C for free.

Can be mixed with a whisk when only a little is needed.
Place plastic on the floor and tape carefully. Then newspapers on what takes wet plaster that falls.
Throw on the plaster and smooth it with a board. Let dry slowly, hang up a little plastic in front. If a nicer finish is needed, we can talk Husfix or gipsputs on it.

I am looking for the simplest option that creates the least mess and is ready the fastest..
Some people are all thumbs, but not me. However, I do have the trowel in the middle of my hand. Completely useless when it comes to that type of work.

Then plaster or house fix will be the easiest and least messy. Try it, you can't go wrong. Also, quite fun.S StevieGee said:
