Looking for advice on fixing a large floor to ceiling crack in a plaster wall. (see attached picture)
I've never had plaster walls before, so I'm a little lost. I'm not even sure which layers of the wall covering are showing.
Does it look like the finish coat of plaster is peeling from the bottom coat, or is that just a layer of texture/paint(/wallpaper?) coming loose from the actual plaster wall underneath.
In addition, I can push in and feel a lot of movement on the bottom plaster layer, so it appears to have become disconnected from the underlying lath. Looking at the internet it seems that the plastermagic drill holes/spray bonding agent/fill with adhesive/temporary screw method would be required here. Any recommendations on products available in US that don't cost $300 like the big wally stuff?
