Reply to How to fix hole in plaster? by elysiansaurus

I plastered my entire kitchen. A lot of it looked like this. I used the following products:

Base coat - structo light base coat plaster Top coat - east sand 90

Notes on technique: spray the wood lath with water before applying base coat.

I mostly use mud squeegees instead of drywall knives. Much more forgiving. Also your final texture is very forgiving for the occasional mudder You can do this!

I've used about every product under the sun and what I've described here works best for me.

Other options include using sheet rock and trying to level up the the rest of the wall or removing the wood lath and replacing with metal diamond mesh.

Oh also you have wall paper there. In case you didn't notice.

Reply to Scientists have proved goldfish do have good memories and are able to navigate their surroundings. A team from Oxford University trained nine fish to travel 70cm (2.3ft) and back, receiving a food reward at the end. The study disproves the long-held belief goldfish have little or no memory. by Tardigradelegs

Anyone who keeps gold fish know how easy they are to train. They 100% learn and know when they are about to be fed.

I never thought of that as memory per se but I guess it is!
