Even a good finish will do.
Each time I plaster a wall I get a bit better so I am happy with that.
I did a slightly bigger wall than I am used to yesterday so I didn't do a two mix multi finish. I put some bonding on the rough areas and did one skim to see how I got on. I had the confidence to leave it a bit longer this time so I resisted the temptation to mess about with it straight away.
The finish wasn't bad but there where still some slightly uneven parts and places where the plaster was fairly thin on the original wall (i think the wall was maybe slightly proud here) although there were a couple of low spots to. The majority of the wall was good and flat and smooth.
So you think it would be easier for me (I am a novice) to do 2 mixes, the second being a fresh mix, I am thinking it may be easier to get a flatter finish?
I am starting to get more confident to press a bit harder after the plaster has been on the wall a while and have less of an angle with the trowel but the side effect is it's a bit thinner in places.
I am still working the plaster a fair bit to get a finish on a fairly small wall and using polyfilla to mask the imperfections
Any poiners?
Thanks in advance kind people!
