We have had an area of wall in our kitchen that was damaged thanks to a damp patch when we moved in years ago. We had the damp (kind of) sorted, and have only got round to redecorating and fixed up the damage now!
I bought some readymix plaster and scraped all the old damaged stuff off, and thought I did a great job and putting the new plaster on. But seems I put it on too thick as it's developed big cracks as it's dried. It's fine where it's thinner. I know now that I should have done a few layers of thin stuff and let each layer dry in between but it didn't say that on the tub, and I didn't research it enough first obviously.
Now, I'm not HUGELY bothered what it looks like when we've finished painting as it's down in a corner behind where our bin goes and it really was in an awful state before, so not looking for perfection, just a quick patch up really so that it's better than before. I was wondering if I could put another thin layer over the cracked bits to kind of hold it in place and then paint over it all when properly dry, or will I have to get it all off and start again?
