Ornamental plaster work goes back a long way.  Articles about the repair of
plasterwork are out there but they deal with particular problems and it
ain't always clear that your problems are the ones being dealt with.

You can check with Mrs. Merrifield (1849), Kurt Wehlte (1975) or many other
authors in between.  There is no simple answer.
