I'm going to install a new floor in the apartment and have therefore started removing the baseboards. Behind the baseboards, it seems to be plaster with reed matting.
I wonder if I can really just buy plaster and apply it without doing anything more. I have removed all the plaster that has fallen loose, but I wonder how much I need to remove before I can apply new plaster? The problem with removing more is that plaster from higher up the wall falls and creates cavities.
So, my question is if it's enough to vacuum away the loose parts and just apply new plaster?
And which plaster should I use in that case? The thickness of the new plaster is between 5-30 mm.
Plaster putty is definitely the easiest to use for a beginner. Search for "plaster putty" here on the forum for tips on how to use it.
Are you planning to reuse the baseboards? In that case, make sure to store them flat so they don't become warped. It will be challenging enough as it is to reattach them. I've done exactly the same operation in my apartment.
Hey!
It turned out to be weber gypsum after some searching. I have plastered behind all the moldings and must say it was incredibly easy to work with and smooth!
Now only the painting of the walls and laying of the floor remain before I can attach the new moldings!
