Having finally admitted defeat with just too many DIY jobs to do, we're having our house professionally plastered at the moment, and one of the rooms had some really bad areas of blown plaster. I discussed this with the plasterer who said they would cut back and re-bond these areas before skimming.
I came home two days ago to a completely finished skimmed room after one day's plastering which made me a little suspicious as, though I'm not a plasterer, don't you have to let the bonded areas dry before you can skim?
So today, though its not yet completely dry, I went over the bad areas tapping and they still sound completely hollow, just like they did before the plastering. I don't want to play hell with the plastered if there is no reason, so could someone tell me, if the bonding coat is still wet would that explain why these areas are still hollow? The wall is still quite wet after 2 days, which gives me reason to think he has used more than just a thin skim coat, so I'm a bit confused!
Thanks
