Spackle, plaster or joint compound on wall?
Hello.
I have removed old water pipes in the basement and also the old channel they were in. As can be seen in the pictures, the wall in the basement was carved at the same time as the pipe channel was built.
The wall is some kind of mesh and then plaster on the actual wall.
My idea is to sand the edges and then fill in where the channel was.
The question is with what?
Would you wiser ones suggest using Husfix or something similar, or is there perhaps a cheaper alternative that would suffice?

Husfix becomes very hard and heavy when it sets, so I wouldn't use it. The risk is that it will fall down in a big chunk if you don't get good adhesion. I would sand it down and apply regular medium filler in three layers, then sand and paint.
I think the original poster has a duplicate thread and it is already resolved.S Småbrukaren said:
