We had the walls skimmed last thursday and friday in one room, I have had the windows open, rads in the evening for the last day or so. The plasterer had to bring the walls straight, so some parts are quite thick, I cant see any dark pink areas, everything is light, there seems to be some slightly darker bits, I have penciled them and they have stayed the same shape, like a water mark.
So in all they have had 6-7 days to dry, they look ok, just the water staining marks.

we have bought.

b+q matt white, to be watered down by 30%?
another coat of white watered down by 15%
then we have crown matt, do i need to water this coat down?

procedure as advised before

scrape walls
mist coat
rub down lightly all over
second coat
rub down lightly
final coat

does all that look ok?

(no cement was used just skim over skim, ceiling skim over artex ceiling)
