MikeSharp01 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I am wondering if it is OK to plaster over an easyfill filled drywall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G and J Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 May I ask why you are contemplating doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 would say it needs a light primer as the easy fill will be very porous, so will suck the plaster dry in that area. probably a diluted coat of pva and skim whilst still wet/ tacky. @nod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the garden room OK but the house has much bigger expanses and on 10m long wall directly to your left when you come in the front door so you will see any undulations I worry. Base of plaster boards is dead flat and all vertical joints are butt joints with tapered edges - it's just I wanted to be sure I had a get out if I need it.

joe90 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 95% of you’re wall will be perfectly flat as it’s the board as made, I have done a few walls like this (one was a very long wall in. Showroom) and with a pole sanding block found it easy to get flat, even if you have to go back a couple of times it’s still easy IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Look up level 5 finishing. there are 3-4-5 levels of finish e with 5 being the best. aim for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 You can But there will be high suction So you will need to seal it several times with 3-1 SBR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my kind of thinking, I watch with interest…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
