In my house i have old plaster type walls, and there is a spot on one of
them were the plaster has fallen off...it looks to be the size of a
baseball,

my question is what is the best way to repair it so it doesnt look
noticable?

emails are welcome

thanks in advance

Is something going on behind the wall to make it fall off that you
need to repair, before the plaster?

Hang a picture over it.

use Durabond 20 or 45 to fill it in. 20 sets up in 20 minutes, 45 in
45 minutes. You can just fill in the approximate depth and then tool
in a smooth or matching final coat, or use a topping coat of plaster
paris or drywall compound or more durabond. The durabond is hard to
sand so do not over fill. It will sag down on you if you start with it
too watery.
