Hey guys, im new to the forum. My question is this, i am coming to the final stages of boarding out a downstairs bedroom, this consists of 4 walls and the ceiling. the area is almost ready for a skim, is there any order to which i should tackle first? i have heard that the ceiling should always be done first? im not sure why exactly.
Also, i have done quite a bit of plastering recently round the house, always to areas which have been boarded out first, but i do seem to struggle on getting a perfectly flat finish - looks great when it dry and i do a great polish job but its when it painted and you can see the plaster by lamp light, any advice? i have seen mentions of the using a float - are these generally to be used on bare brick projects?
Thanks guys.
