Hello
Need a little help
I've got like a bump-out on anew upstairs landing that needs work.
It's a 45 degree wall that goes to the ceiling and its covered by painted wallpaper. Long ago some water damage caused the paper to pull away. I peeled it back until it wouldn't come with my fingers anymore and reveiled the water stained, somewhat loose plaster which in some spots is very soft and practically falling off the wall. The rest of the area is pretty much sound as in the plaster hardly or doesn't move and the wall paper is tight with a couple sag or loose spots here and there.
The plaster looks to be .25 to .5 inches thick. So here'so what I want to do.
Take out all the soft hanging plaster
Drill tiny holes in the rest of it up to the lath and force it back and anchor it with like 1.25 inch drywall screws...
Now should I fill screw the holes with plaster weld before i install the screws? Can I get away with bin for this instead? Same goes with patching the large holes in the plaster: can I get away with binning the lathe and plaster edge my patch needs to grip to, or should I use plaster weld?
Is it safe to bin the stained plaster?
I also want to seal the boarder where the still-tight wallpaper meats the exposed plaster with something. I was thinking of binning it then mudding over the edge to hide the line and blend it all together into a uniform surface. Will bin work for this? I believe it will, but should I use the plaster weld instead? Or maybe a latex primer?
Someoneven said a skim coat of durabond will cover the water stains. True?
Then I've got to do a patch on drywall covered by painted wallpaper. I don't want to strip the wall paper, I want to cut out the bad spot, bin the spot to seal it and the edges then mud over it and make it flush. Will this work or will it fail. Any advice?
Here's some pics
