What happens when plaster has water damage?
Water damage to plaster can be one of the most time consuming and difficult things to repair. Fortunately there are some easy tasks that can be completed to speed up the repair process and get your home back to normal. Check out the tried and tested actions that will help to restore the water damaged plaster in your home.Depending on how wet the wall actually got will affect how to deal with the repair itself. If the wall has got very wet and warped then it can be a good idea to get the wall inspected, and if necessary to get it re-plastered and start from fresh. This step is important as the wooden or metal lath will provide the structure to the wall. If the If in doubt, consult a qualified plasterer for advice. If it got only slightly wet or damaged in just a few places, then following the tasks below with help you out.Use the claw end of a hammer to gently removed any loose or damaged plaster from the wall. Check the wooden laths underneath for any damage. If the wood seems to be in good condition then it will be possible to leave it for a few days to dry out. If the plaster seems damaged then cut it out with a small saw or another device you have to hand.Cut a new piece of metal lath that will fit the hole, using the metal snips or saw, and nail it in place with the hammer. Cut a second piece and nail it over the first.Next, get a damp cloth and dampen the area around the hole. This will help the new plaster stick to the old.Use a spackling knife to apply plaster to the hole to cover the lath. It does not have to completely fill the hole as the plaster should be allowed to dry out completely.Then, apply another layer of plaster to fill the hole so that it is even with the rest of the wall and completely covers the whole. It can be a good idea to smooth over the plaster onto the existing wall to help to achieve a flush finish.Let the wall dry out again.It will now be possible to apply any paint or wallpaper that you like on the finished wall!While water damage to plaster is not the easiest of things to repair after water damage, it can be saved. As described above, the extent to which the wall has been damaged will depend on the type of actions that need to be performed. Some of the worst water damaged houses have restored the plaster to its former glory by taking the actions above. I really hope they help you as well.

Can you fill holes in plaster hand and feet sculptures with plaster and smooth it off or could this chip off in later years?
If you mix a bit of epoxy with the plaster and work quickly you will have a greater chance of it lasting.
What is the harmful effect of plaster of Paris?
Like all materials it depends on the way it is used. Plaster of Paris expands on setting and this could be harmful in some circumstances and useful in others. If it was used to fill an object it could break it. This feature was used in early mining. It also generates heat on setting and this should be taken into account when a large mass of it is poured. Lately it has been shown that in landfill it may breakdown and release sulfur dioxide which has an unpleasant smell
How do you get masonry nails out of plaster without removing the plaster?
Masonry nails have very small heads, and are notoriously difficult to remove from plaster, concrete, and wooden walls. The best way to remove them, without removing the plaster, is to cut the head off so that it is flat to the wall. Then, fill in the hole and repaint, if necessary.
Can you build and fill an in-ground pool in Texas when the water supply is from a water well?
Yes you can. The main problem you will run into is metal content of the water may stain your plaster. If water quality is a conern, put a water softner on the fill line to "filter out" impurities. GET THE WATER TESTED FIRST --- PLASTER IS EXPENSIVE. Good Luck Yes you can. The main problem you will run into is metal content of the water may stain your plaster.

Can a nail gun be used on a plaster wall?
I wouldn't recommend using a nail gun on plaster, it may shatter around the area you would be nailing. I would predrill a whole and use screws into the studs. I recommend using a concrete drill bit. If you plan on covering the entire wall with wood or something then you could get away with using a nail gun, but if you ever take that wood down the plaster wall will be ruined. You could always fill in the pre-drilled holes and paint over it if you ever wanted the plaster look again if you went with screws.
What would you use to make a pond in your backyard?
Depends how big, but what you could fo is make a hole, put a tarp in it and then put sand on the bottom and then fill it with water. Answer Normally this is done with cement. You would dig the hole, pour the cement floor and then sculpt the walls and the area that is level with the ground. A person that works with plaster in homes to plaster walls ( a dying profession with the invention of sheet rock), would know how to do this for you. Basically you would wind up with a cement pond that is actually a swimming pool.
From what was the Globe Theatre built?
While no one has sketched the Globe Theatre or described its structure, the structure of other Elizabethan amphitheatres gives a fair enough indication of the materials and structure of The Globe. It was most probably made of timber, sawed and nailed with iron nails. Flint would have been used where stonework was necessary. Plaster would have been used to fill gaps in the woodwork, although it is unlikely that there would have been any decorative use of plaster. Roofs of the top galleries would have been thatched, later replaced by tiles.
