I just read that a lot of old houses in Savannah have lime plaster, not drywall.

I was patching a hole in my living room wall and got curious about what was under the paint. After some digging on a historic homes forum, I found out my 1920s house probably has lime plaster over wood lath, which needs a totally different repair method than modern drywall. Has anyone here had to fix plaster like this and what did you use?

Yeah, lime plaster is a whole different beast to work with.

Hugo37 isn't kidding, it's a total nightmare to patch!
