What are the correct steps to prepare a wall for replastering during renovation?
To prepare a wall for replastering, loose or damaged plaster must first be removed using a chisel or scraper. The exposed surface is then cleaned of dust and debris, and a bonding agent or primer is applied to improve adhesion. Joints between drywall panels are taped and filled with joint compound before the final plaster coat is applied evenly.
