Hi after water damage which is now dried out, we have an electrician coming to replace some sockets and back boxes which will involve chasing out some of the wall. I was hoping to patch the chasing myself and wondered what would be recommended. It is not going to be a lot, just 3 short runs, so is there any ready mixed rough base coat and finish plaster I can buy rather than large bags of plaster etc. Wall construction is old stone, looks like sand and cement render, then finish plaster. TIA
Hi skythepig, Since you already have a sand and cement render use the same material for the base coat but wet the chasing before you make good. You can then finish off with plaster. Regards S
