My friend has a U-vault in his apartment where the vault is a curved masonite and the casings are probably grooved, with the masonite running in this groove. Now he has a hole in the masonite that needs to be repaired. There is a distance of about 30mm to a stone wall behind the masonite. If you just fill it with plaster and putty and paint, it feels like it will crack after fifteen minutes. The hole measures about 100mm.
How would you repair this if you wanted to spend minimal money and effort?
Maybe use plaster and put microlit in the vault? Or use plaster and put joint tape with glue and then putty and paint?

Yes, of course. But you probably need to take down the fodren to be able to insert the new massonite, and I don't know how they are attached to the wall, maybe with pl-400? Massonite strips of 20-25cm are not exactly flexible enough to squeeze in. Moreover, the problem remains since there will be a seam in the massonite. I need a strip closer to 4m long.
