I am going to do some more texting on my mixes proboly later tonight. It seems like I am fairly close to getting the plaster to work out and be the correct texture. If I can't get it to turn out right, I may have to plaster bond the whole ceiling, and do a skim coat over the whole thing as we had discussed here earlier. I also purchased a rotozip, that should help clean up the edges a bit as well. I have plaster bond also for around the edges. I read that Durrabond isn't hard enough to go over with Keens cement. So my plan was to bring that hole back just shy of flush with a hard gypsum plaster, then to skim in the top to the edges with the keeens mixture.

But am not positive how this will bond to the existing plaster. We normally use durrabond, & plus 3, to patch (mainly durrabond to patch plaster), and can end up getting a pretty close match to the orig finish in most cases, but we are not getting any results comparable to the fine sand finish in my walls.ĭo I need to find some fine silica sand to add to the durrabond or can you suggest a better product? I was thinking of trying to use USG's vener plaster system. The damage is in areas that will be noticeable, so it is important that we come up with something that is close. In this house I have plaster walls over 18"x8' blueboard, its traditional plaster over blueboard, not veneer, from the early 1960's. Now we have several areas of significant size that need to be patched and we want to match the texture that was there. Something we have done a number of times before. We are doing a gut and remodel in the kitchen.
