2 years on and still PERFECT! I was told “it will crack” etc, it hasn’t, and we’ve had extreme heat and extreme cold…

I remember when I first shared this hack and I was inundated with messages!

I’m so glad I tried plaster of Paris for the coving repairs, and I have since done the kitchen with the same method.

So effective, so cheap and a very easy one for anyone to do 🤩👌

All my coving needs serious help, I don’t know if it needs paint stripper first then filler, any advice or go to guides? Thank you!!

Did you have to use peel away? I’ve spent a fortune on that stuff to strip paint away in both my old Georgian house and my current Victorian one

Everytime I see old building being restored I can’t help but think lead and asbestos.

I love this idea!! And have been wondering since your 1st post where to get the plaster of Paris???? Mine aren't too bad but there's a few cracks & a bit of flaking in my sittingroom corner
