Hi. I've had a lathe & plaster wall skimmed. The plasterer did a great job, it felt really smooth. The plasterer recommended a coat of B&Q plaster sealer then on with the paint, which I did. I put on 2 coats of Leyland white contract matt paint. The paint looked really blotchy and had areas...
Joe-90: Do you mean when I was brushing on the plaster sealer? The stuff is like water and goes on in seconds with one brush stroke. I did up and down strokes - not left to right which some of the marks are. I used a roller for the paint application.
I used Oakey Liberty Green Extreme...
The plan was to use a thinned coat of emulsion until the plasterer insisted that I use this sealer. I think you could be onto something ran1 as the shape and direction of the lines/texture could be explained by a circular sanding motion.
The plaster was left to dry for 2 weeks I think...
I have a feeling it's the sealer too. This is the B&Q stuff http://www.diy.com/nav/build/building-materials/plastering-plasterboard-coving/plaster_sealer/B-and-Q-Plaster-Sealer-Clear-2-5L-9252884?skuId=9260583
