I have just moved into a house where the previous owner has plastered and painted brown an RSJ/H beam to look like an old wooden beam (although it really doesn't! :roll: ).
I have had a look under the paint and it looks like plaster. Could I simply sand the plaster down to create a smooth surface or would I need to chip it all away and start again?
