      Given it's from the 1880s asbestos is unlikely, and lead paint wasn't generally used as a wall finishing - though I'm sure there are all kinds of other nastiness in there! I certainly wouldn't consider carrying out work without excellent dust extraction and / or full PPE. 👍

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  4 роки тому

My first house was turn of the century and every room in the house was a nightmare when it came to decorating, be it steaming and scraping off 6 or 7 layers of wallpaper all nicely sealed with 'anaglypta', or patch repairing walls - but some were beyond that as the plasterwork just crumbled to the floor. The missus would say - how long do you think this room will take - about 2 weeks but only after we have repaired whatever SNAFUs we uncover.

    Pretty close to what I do at work Peter. I put polythene under the washers though, because I don't like to have any kind of impact on lath and plaster, every bang risks breaking off another key/nib somewhere.
    Most times these days I just brace the area using long 'quick adjustable poles' and bits of scrap wood instead of screws and washers (definitely need polythene then, or you'd never get the wood off lol!).
    All the best for 2022 :-)

    I've got Edwardian plaster and lathe walls that chunks of plaster has fallen off. Do you have any advice to repair these holes. Unfortunately replacing the walls or totally replastering isn't an option at present. Thanks

    You shouldn't drywall over that, it's not very difficult to patch plaster if you get a product like USG Structo-lite and use a plaster bonding agent like Plaster Weld. I'm sure in the UK they have different products but you basically want a lightweight plaster (not a drywall compound) and a bonding agent which gets painted on. You generally don't want to use water on the surface anymore that's the old school method and if you do that you are only relying on the plaster holding by "mushrooming" behind the lathe with the bonding agent you get bonding to the surface of the lathe as well. Plaster is actually a much stronger finish than drywall and if done with care won't actually need sanding because you can feather it into the existing wall if you mix it thin enough or use a finish plaster. Check out: Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. on youtube he has great videos on it.

    Here, across the pond, apparently we have very similar technology, many houses from that era suffering the same fate. As a Home Inspector for buyers, this is something I know a thing or two about. The plaster never did and was not intended to bond to the lathes. It was pressed through them and curled around the back, forming "keys". The lathes expand and contract with seasonal changes in humidity and the plaster loses whatever grip it might have had and the keys hold it in place. Over time they fail and break off, especially on ceilings. Some people use the repair washers and then plaster over them. Some people rip out the loose plaster, leaving the lathes, and drywall over them or use drywall to make patches. They glue and screw it to the lathes. There is even a fiberglass reinforced type of drywall (blueboard) made to screw over the existing plaster. The problem is, if you cover a lot of area you add a LOT of weight to the house and may cause settling. I'll stop now. You did a good job.

    A word of warning sanding old lath and plaster - it used to be made with horsehair and could contain anthrax spores. Facemasks are a must.
    Also, it is not always the plaster that separates from the laths, but the iron nails holding the lathes to the beams rusting through and the laths springing off the wall.

    Do you think using a hybrid polymer adhesive like Stixall would work great for long-lasting results? Have a ceiling with some light cracking and figured if a sealant that breaks everything else before it breaks would probably work great at resisting future lath expansion etc.

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  3 роки тому

      Probably - but the reason I used PU was that it foams up a little before setting , making it good for blown plaster. You might have to pump in a fair bit more polymer adhesive to be sure you get a good fix. 👍👍

    • @Tephnos

    • @Tephnos
      @Tephnos 3 роки тому

      So I ended up switching to Pinkgrip solvent free. Main reason is I have a ton of holes to do over the whole ceiling (it's not completely blown, just come loose and pushes up a little in places due to how old it is). Since I'm up here I may as well as do it right so the cracks don't come back even if I'm going to lining paper it after.
      Anyway, after going through the tube of stixall fairly quickly I realised I would need something good enough but cost effective. Looked at your PU glue but that's like £7 a tube and even if it expands a little I'd probably be buying a fair bit, whereas Pinkgrip is less than £3 a tube for a lot of it!
      Just hope that the Pinkgrip will actually do the job as well! Any experience with that particular adhesive?

    • @Tephnos
      @Tephnos 3 роки тому

      For what it's worth, I looked up how well PU adhesive does with gaps, and it seems incredibly poorly - no strength at all as it just ends up air bubbles. So I guess in the case of a ceiling it's probably better to go with dedicated gap filler adhesives after all.
