Plaster Stabilization
Perryville, KY
This slideshow covers the typical sorts of problems encountered in wall and ceiling plaster on wood lath. The repairs include consolidation of weak or friable plaster with water-bourne acrylic resins to strengthen the plaster, dilute adhesives which flow between delaminated layers to bond them back together, realignment to push back into place plaster and lath sections that have sagged, thickened adhesives for bonding plaster to plaster and plaster back to lath, and use of a filled adhesive that expands to create new keys around the back of the lath - all techniques developed in the 1970s by Morgan Phillips at SPNEA.
