Primarily, they were a real mess to create, and they tend to ding and chip far easier than we'd like. But when it comes down to it, even though our walls and ceilings look rather lovely, smooth, and like beautiful old plaster some 15 years removed from the original work, there are problems. Not only did I learn this flawed technique, for years I peddled it as the righteous path forward as I shared our progress.

Oh, and we've even been featured in a published guide on how to attempt some DIY plaster repair (that makes some in the historic plaster repair community cringe because it used joint compound as an ingredient)! See '90s Alex, all that time spent memorizing the lyrics to Rapper's Delight and figuring out how to dance like MC Hammer have paid off, now you're a pseudo plaster expert and can grow a semi respectable yet unreasonably creepy looking mustache. Along the way we've picked up tips and tricks, we've made plenty of mistakes, and we finally feel like we're starting to get the hang of this whole plastering thing.until we learn more that makes us second guess what we've done in the past and we begin to think we're actually just total crap at plastering. In our 15 years we've learned more about plaster than we ever expected when we first bought our historic home. Go ahead and play another game of Joe Montana Football on your Sega Genesis and call me when you're less obsessed with Andre Agassi. Don't worry 13 year old Alex, you're even more lame at 13 than 40 year old you, you just don't know it yet.
My teenage self of the early '90s just read that statement and cringed at what his life has become. At this point we have over 15 years of amateur plastering experience in repairing anything from small sections of cracked or missing plaster, to complete room overhauls.
