About Plaster Magic®

Frequently Asked Questions

Plaster Magic® provides structural reinforcement for your plaster walls and ceilings by reattaching the plaster to its lath. Plaster repair consists of two distinct tasks, stabilization and cosmetics. Until the plaster is structurally stabilized by reattaching it to the lath no repair will last. Once stabilized any cosmetic treatment will last.

The most important aspect of plaster repair is to stabilize your existing plaster first-before filling in holes and cracks. As long as the plaster is still in place, it can be stabilized and repaired. For those who are thinking of having another person do the repairs, I offer a few words of caution: beware of those who may suggest removal and replacement with drywall or modern veneer plaster. This is not a remove and replace or resurface method. This method retains your original plaster.

Plaster Magic® takes half the time and half the money to remove and replace or resurface. Remember-you cannot replace your original plaster with anything as good.
