Good evening all new here

We are currently in the process of mist coating our walls after the plasterer has finished,

But we keep seeing these lines after the first coat, i have a suspicion that it might be pva as its possible they did the ceiling after the walls, will this affect painting?

If so how do i work around them to ensure they dont show through with the top coat?


Thanks, Rob

180 grade sand will remove the splashes of PVA water. Go easy.
That's what it looks like.
Any problems go buy bullseye 123 to prime over
 
I was going to say the same thing - sand lightly with fine sandpaper. I had a plasterer do this year's ago and I asked him to come back and fix it and he did the thinnest skim on top of the affected area to get rid of it. I think I'd just sand now though just to save the hassle. Hope you find it easy to fix
 
I agree with @Wayners that they look like pva drips.

So long as you can't feel them when you run your hands over them, I would be inclined to ignore them.

They won't show through the top coats, but the paint over them will take a tad longer to dry.
