Hello!
My first post....
I am renovating an apartment and have torn out all the old moldings, trims, etc. In a wide opening in a concrete wall, there isn't a cut hole but rather a chiseled hole, which makes the edges very uneven. See the photo.
I would now like to make the edges completely smooth and then put up a fabric wallpaper to finally paint the entire opening in the same color as the walls, i.e., completely without moldings or reveals in the opening itself.
I am thinking that I can attach a "form board" on each side of the wall and then fill the unevenness with filler to make it smooth. See the attached sketch of a cross-section of how I have planned. The thickness of the filler will be about 1.5-2 cm at the thickest points.
Questions:
Is it possible to do it this way?
What type of Filler, Compound, etc. is suitable to use?
Anything else to consider?
Grateful for your help!

It will probably work, but you should probably use putsbruk to start with.
