Browse Forums DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair 1 Sep 09, 2009 3:46 am have just moved into my new home that we are planning on slowly renovating just to raise comfort levels and wondered if someone can help me with a couple of problems, both plaster related, the old owner has replastered one full room walls and roof but there are a few issues with his obvious DIY job. firstly i have one outward corner that starts nice and sharp and square at roof hight but towards the floor it is basically curved, his skill with angling seems to have been lacking. so much that the floor cornice doesnt touch the wall corner. any ideas on how to get a nice sqaure corner on here without removing all the plaster and starting fresh? as its a nice neat painted room otherwise could it be filled out? secondly above an entryway where the vertical plaster meets the horizatal above your head peice, the vertical sheet bows in a good 20mm over a 300mm square area, it appears he has attempted to fill this gap with filler and peices of plaster offcut, but its still quite bowed and defidently not flat. its where the old 'horsehair plaster' meets new gyprock so i think he didnt take the thickness difference into consideration. what do you think would be the best way to fill this concave? or would i be best cutting the peice out and placing a new panel in there? will try get some pics up tomorrow as its really hard to explain what i mean. i have general plastering skills and can fill a hole or lay a sheet without to much drama, but any ideas on how to fill odd recesses would be great.
