What should the sand, cement and water mix to plaster this wall hole?This is result of water damage and I decided to fix it so I started hammering on it to remove the loose pieces and this is the end result.Any advice is very much appreciated.

>>2888792Believe it or not I'm not. Any advice regarding my question?
>>2888777Presumably, lime plaster
>>2888820I'm using a 5:1 sand and cement aggregate to fill it then use some kind of paste for the finish.
>>2888777As you can see, there are two layers.Do your first layer with diamond basecoat plaster. Press hard when you apply. Let it mostly set, scratch it up a bit, and then do the final layer with diamond finish plaster.There are some old school plaster tutorials on youtube, give them a watch. >>2888792Those are structural clay tiles, used in USA/Canada in the first half of the 1900s before literally everything became stick frame construction.
>>2889097Thanks anon, I went the cement/sand mix route. Will apply a fine plaster on top for finishing.I think it will look alright but I'm still somewhat concerned about water damage happening again and would probably be better of with some plaster that is impervious to water.
Getting there lads, just waiting for it to cure so I can sand it afterwards.Also applied some sample of the paint I'll be using and holy fuck it's a bit zesty, lads...
Nobody cares but it's fixed, doesn't look perfect and the color choice was poor but I'm otherwise happy with the end result.
>>2888777Do you live in the 3rd world?There are ready cement mixtures for this shit.Every hardware store near me has KNAUF cements for various purposes.
