So.. Ive watched the Plastering DVD I bought off eBAY (dear god I hear you say..) It tells me to follow a 6 stage process..
1. Apply first coat of Multi-Coat Plaster
2. Apply second coat of Multi-Coat Plaster
3. Dry Trowel
4. Wet Trowel
5. Wet Trowel
6. Dry Trowel
I have plastered onto a mixed surface of old plaster, new bonding plaster and painted wall. So I PVA'd the wall first. unfortunately I didn't let it dry enough and the 1st coat went off at different times. So I left it to dry overnight.
Now I am ready to apply the second coat, I am wondering if I need to PVA it before applying the second coat?
Also, the DVD makes no mention of times between stages. As a rough estimate, how long should you leave between stages?
