About this Project

Small holes and cracks can be filled with surfacing or drywall joint compound. But patching is easier for larger holes. The patching technique shown here works well for repairs when the lath above is in good condition. If the lath is as much of a problem as the ceiling plaster, you will want to consider redoing the whole ceiling or turning the job over to a pro.
