It seems as though people have been gobbling up homes over the past couple years. This leaves me thinking, how man of those homes are on the older side and might require some education for those do it yourselfers. One thing I’ve found that can be tricky to deal with is plaster. When pondering if it was even reasonable to think about repairing plaster walls myself, I stumbled upon a great e-Book called The Old House Handbook edition on How to Plaster. This author has spent years in the field and felt that her knowledge needed to be shared with budding homeowners.
While reading this e-Book you will cover a large scope of things all about plaster. She walks you through how to identify a number of plaster systems, as well as how to handle these systems.

She also walks you through how to patch plaster. One big issue that I thought would arise while trying to work on plaster walls is how to use new materials and supplies, but still keep the same look and feel. This author will show you how to use modern supplies to make your repairs easier. One of the reasons we admire and love to keep these plaster walls is the technique and time put into making them. This great e-Book will also teach you how to develop and improve on your own technique.
