I have removed a wall shelf from a closet in the condominium (built in 1965). The shelf was nailed with concrete nails. On one wall there's a ventilation duct with a porous surface that has cracked and detached. I have scraped off the loosest parts, but it's so porous that I'm reluctant to scrape too much. I don't know what the material is or what would be suitable to repair the damage with (see the picture). I previously repaired a similar wall with breplasta LH, but those were only damages the size of a five-krona coin.

Can anyone recommend a suitable product to fill with?

Best answer

Gypsum plaster e.g. Gypsum from Maxit is easy to apply and relatively inexpensive.

OK, will try with that!
 
Agree, Lymmeln plaster is the best.
I would also chip out the other cracks in a V shape to fill these as well.
 
Forgot to mention that it's good if you brush away any dust and old loose mortar, then dip a brush in water and throw it onto the area to be plastered and wait a while. This is done so that the area to be plastered does not absorb the moisture when you apply the plaster mortar, because if it does, the plaster/mortar can lose moisture and detach after a while.
