Patching Plaster released!

Posted on February 1, 2011 // 1 Comments

We’re happy to announce the release of our new, specially-formulated patching plaster. Rory, the founder of Big Wally’s, has been developing it through trial and error for many many years. But finally, a patching plaster that is designed specifically to complement old and historic plaster is available for purchase.

We’ve seen a terrible lack of products available on the market for patching holes and large cracks in plaster walls and ceilings. But no more.  “Without giving away the secret recipe,” says Rory, ” it’s a blend of lime plaster and gypsum.” The lime assures compatibility with old plaster, while the gypsum helps the compound set quickly. Under typical conditions, it will set in less than two hours.

“My Big Wally’s customers kept asking for a patching plaster. I knew it had to be convenient, simple to use, and work seamlessly with the Big Wally’s Plaster Magic adhesive system.”

A mixture of lime and gypsum that sets quickly, Big Wally’s Patching Plaster is blended with a precise amount of materials to keep the mixture “soft” enough to be compatible with old plaster. Because it does not set into a rock hard sheet, like over-the-counter joint compound, it can live in harmony with the old plaster for many, many years.

The compound is currently only available by request (we’ll have it up on the prouducts page of the site soon). For now, though, please email info@plastermagic.com to order the patching plaster, or if you just have questions about it.

The patching plaster is available in three sizes (coverage based on 1/2″ thick application):
1. Homeowners Box: up to 65 square inches
2. Painters Box: up to 250 square inches
3. Contractors Box: up to 500 square inches
