help Needed

Hi All

Just wondered if some body can give me some advice,

I have been plastering a few months now after doing an intensive course, i have been plastering anything that i can friends family and all my own walls,

I have got to a pretty good standard,

On some of my walls there are still a few low spots, and i cannot get the hole wall in uniformed colour, they look fine once painted, just maybe 5 low spots in a whole room, i take my time and only do small areas in a set,

Any tips on how to sort this out guys and any tips to make sure i get the best finish as i have my first paying job next week and im ****ting it, also how did your first job go?

Are you using 2 good coats ? if so you might be trowelling up too soon. practice makes perfect. if its ant consolation my first ever job was average and i was lucky to get paid.

As Multifinnish says , sounds like your trowellng a tad to early , just trial and error , witout seeing what your doing , just keep ya confidence up and keep going.

Guys many many thanks

I will take a bit more time from now on,

I am just a little scared that the plaster will go off before i have had chance to smooth it out,

Again thanks very much for the advice

In addtion to the above, I would suggest having a light shining at an angle to the wall, rather than straight on it.

Also when trowelling, try to have a bit of good stuff on the trowel, not fat,
