    Default wall repairs

    Hi all, tiling a wall next week and am doing some prep tom. when client took old tiles off little patches of plaster came with them, i'd say about 5mm deep. Want would you recommend i filled them with that would work best with adhesive? Was told on course just to mix a little rapid set and use that.
    Thanks for any help or advise.

    Just take your time relax, don't think of how long it will take or how much money you THINK you'll make. Do a first class job, and the work ball will keep on rollin'

    Bset of luck.
