Repairing loose original plaster with adhesive instead of ripping it out

If you have a pre-1950 house, your plaster is probably detached from the lath in places. This shows the adhesive-injection method that reattaches it instead of demolishing and drywalling. Saves the character and a dumpster.

I did the same repair last month and your step 3 is where I got stuck. Wish I had this then.

Should be the same procedure, the part moved slightly but the steps match.

Can confirm, the cheap part is the one that fails. Replaced mine twice before reading this.

Solid. Sending this to my brother who keeps asking me to fix his.

The embedded video is clearer than the official service manual, which is a little embarrassing for the manufacturer.
