bubbling plaster

[dombe]

if you skim over bonding that is not totally dry, will the plaster bubble. I've heard conflicting opinions.

i've got to plaster a window reveal and I will not have very long to do it, so can I get away with doing it quickly when the bonding has just about dried or am I better off making 2 visits and giving it time to dry properly.

Its for a friend who owes me a bit of money but I sort of owe him a few favours so I'm not mad about having to drive over to do the job twice (couple of hours drive, small job) but I don't wont to make a mess.

Thanks!!

When you mix your bonding add a trowell of cement or better still some hydrated lime, you may get a peck of lime from a bust bag at the merchants if you are visiting, this will give you a faster set, when its hard enough to plaster over then fire away..... if you leave bonding to dry out more than a day its a bitch to skim, may bleb (blister) but probably wont, it just happens sometimes but as you polish up the skim they will go, be sparing with the splash brush this will help.

adding a bit of opc to bonding is standard practice when you need to top coat immediately. Goes off like granite!

NVQ2 doesn't have to earn a living does it!
