| Dec 10, 2015 at 22:30 | comment | added | cartesianJoin | BrownRedHawk, your suggestion worked out great. I did 4-5 layers of lightweight joint compound in the damaged area and sanded it in smooth with the rest of the area and it looks great. It took a while to get the right amount of fill and sanding it to get a smooth finish but I couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks! | |

A good paint will cover after sealing. If you're really concerned about it showing through (reds underneath a light blue for instance) I'd opt for some kilz or MadDog primer or similar | |
| Nov 2, 2015 at 17:07 | comment | added | cartesianJoin | Took your advice and giving this a go. Could only find the tape is a narrow width so I put in several overlapping strips. Looks good so far but it appears that some of the underlying plaster color is "bleeding through" the joint compound. Will the sealer make sure that this doesn't come through to the paint layer? | |
