Sagging Ceiling Plaster: the plan

Hello all! I've seen quite a few really helpful plaster repair posts - most of which involve either using the Plaster Magic kits or duplicating the steps (which I've already done on other wall cracks and patch repair). I'm making this post to hear any last-minute critiques before I tackle the project pictured below (in this order): Drill through the sagging plaster until I hit the lath w/ a masonry bit Spray a bonding agent/conditioner in said holes. Wait a bit to dry "Inject" caulk into the holes Screw Plaster back to the lath with the washers (pictured), starting from the center of each rectangular sagging section and moving outward 24hr later: remove screws, skim coat over holes Rinse n' repeat for each section. Prime, paint, etc. Any input is appreciated... even from team "tear it down to the lath and start over" submitted by /u/FocalSpot [link] [comments]

Sagging Ceiling Plaster: the plan

Hello all! I've seen quite a few really helpful plaster repair posts - most of which involve either using the Plaster Magic kits or duplicating the steps (which I've already done on other wall cracks and patch repair).

I'm making this post to hear any last-minute critiques before I tackle the project pictured below (in this order):

  1. Drill through the sagging plaster until I hit the lath w/ a masonry bit

  2. Spray a bonding agent/conditioner in said holes. Wait a bit to dry

  3. "Inject" caulk into the holes

  4. Screw Plaster back to the lath with the washers (pictured), starting from the center of each rectangular sagging section and moving outward

  5. 24hr later: remove screws, skim coat over holes

  6. Rinse n' repeat for each section.

  7. Prime, paint, etc.

Any input is appreciated... even from team "tear it down to the lath and start over"
