Drywall 8Aug 17, 2020 7:04 pm Mining Man What has likely happened, is that the pressure from the nail has cracked the plaster within the paper sandwich, and created a floating lump of plaster held only by that outer layer of paper. If you use a stanley knife and cut around the edge of the raised section, you'll find a lump of plaster freely comes away with the outside paper. The underside paper layer of the gyprock will be unmoved, and likely have plaster on it. I don't think you'll be able to just sand it back as is, because you've got a floating lump of plaster. You may need to remove it and fill the hole. The stud itself is not damaged and therefore no structural issue though correct? Hi there, long-time lurker but first time posting.

Do you have access to NCC Part 2 or can you download it? I can email you a copy… 10 12558 Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7234 |
