I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'plasters' is the first definition.
('daub' can be a synonym of 'plaster')

'eyesores?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for daubs that I've seen is " Smears".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
