Currently stripping off the un-bonded skim in an extension. Base coat is sand / cement render. Large area needs new base coat. Is it an issue to use regular base coat plaster, or would I need to stick with render?

Cheers,

Ideally sand cement, but if there are no issues like damp then any basecoat.

It might be that fill th ehole iwht bonding and give the whole lot a thin coat to make it nicer for skimming, as long as prepped ok

Cheers Micilin,

No visible evidence of damp that I can see in the areas in question.

I'm planning on base coating and getting the walls flat myself, then paying a plasterer to come in an skim for the professional look.

Will double check tomorrow and fling the stuff up.

Fubar.
