I am going to my house in two weeks and I have a large crack in the plaster where it has fallen away and taken some of the rubble and mortar out from in between the timber frames. I am going to chaux the mortar and rubble back in place and then plaster over the top (once it is suitably dry). Do you know if you can safely put plaster on top of dried chaux? I've also heard that the chaux because of all the lime can be very caustic to skin. This site is indispensable!
