The Ceiling is most likly a gypsum plaster. Scrape all loose paint or plaster off. Than apply a product called Master of PLaster. You will need two base coats and one finish coat Total thickness is about 3/32 to 1/8 inch. This material will work very well

IMO contractors are just lazy if they want to put up sheetrock over the original plaster, although to be honest, since plastering is ...

Hello all, Will putting sheetrock over plaster prevent future plaster failure? Ive got some cracking opening up (with the overall section becoming soft) and would rather not deal with the mess of pulling it down if installing thin sheetrock will hold it together. Thanks

Hi Mark, I found your post on renovators.com while trying to find information on what materials our house might have been constructed from. Our house was built in 1946.

Just a little more info on the above problem that were having............... 1. Wallpaper paste does not react with the plaster. 2. The ceilings are fine and do not peel, crack or blister when we paint. 3. Only a few of the walls in this area of the house seem to be affected. Some have retained the ...
