Sawdust in wall (1950 apartment) What is it and how to repair the hole?
Hi! We have just started renovating an apartment in Stockholm from around 1954 and got a small look into a wall facing the stairwell. Inside the wall, there is something that looks like sawdust.
Is this some type of insulation that was common at that time?
Is there any risk that such material could contain asbestos?
What is the best way to repair a small hole in such a wall?
The plan is to skim coat the walls when all the holes are fixed. Under the old skim coat, there is wallpaper.. Should a special primer be used in such a case before skim coating?
Thanks for the tips!
