Is it possible?
The chimney is like the heart of the house and we're now renovating a hallway. The previous owners had the good taste to put some kind of plywood directly on the chimney and wallpapered over it. It has now mostly crumbled away, and owner number 2 then decided to slap thick paint on everything and make a mess instead. The result = Awful.
As we are re-plastering all the walls in the hallway and are left with this miserable chimney, we're wondering if it's possible to put plasterboard directly on it to make it presentable?
Can it be glued on, or how should we proceed?
To clarify, it's only one side of the chimney that affects the hallway. They have made different solutions for the other sides.

If it gets *very hot*, minerit might be preferable, as plaster tends to become porous from heat. If it just gets lukewarm, plaster should work great.
Another option, depending on how it looks in your hallway, is to use textured paint on the 'scraped clean' wall. It gives a plastered impression and looks good - if it fits in the hallway, that is.
