Evening all,
I have recently done my first skim(Kitchen ceiling), and really enjoyed it. I am fairly pleased with the result even though it will need a little sanding in the corners, but was expecting to do some.
What i have noticed is now it has dried, there is quiet alot of white power over the surface. So I was wondering, where i went wrong, and what problems (if any) i may have when i want paint.
I was thinking that perhaps, i either put too much water on during the wet trowel, or whether i didnt have clean enough water and was basically spreading the 'fat' around.
Any advice appreciated.
Oh one more question if i may, If you over mix the plaster will it go off quicker - I mixed the second skim quite a lot and had to rush in the end as it went off quite quickly.
Regards,
Andy
