Q: How do you fill bad plastering?

• <div><p>If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they&rsquo;re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint. </p></div>

Q: Is repainting part of the repair process for plaster surfaces?

• <div><p>Many services include repainting to match the existing surface. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: Can you mix plaster types?

• <div><p>You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.</p><p>Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.</p></div>

Q: Why is my plaster ceiling sagging?

• <div><p>Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you&rsquo;ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage&mdash;often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe&mdash;can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.</p></div>

Q: How much coverage is one gallon of Venetian plaster?

• <div><p>This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques&ndash;like Scagliola&ndash;that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. </p></div>
