Re: Secure Old Plaster in a Pinch

I have had great success with the plaster washers. The one I used were "self-depressing" as they are screwed into the lathe. This has the great advantage of not having to make indentations in the plaster which can cause further cracking or loose pieces breaking off. The only difficulty is finding them in any of the major hardware stores, but they can be ordered online from Lee Valley Tools (http://www.leevalley.com - item number 67z20.02)
