not quite sure what you mean by mushrooming effect but no i did not pva the laths i was never tought to pva laths damp them down yesSteve, are you saying that you raked out the laths after you took the piccie so that you get that mushrooming out effect above the laths? Did you PVA the laths?
Yea; but that's the easy way out no fun at allstrip it back over board it skim it sorted
i think rich was asking about the material of the pricking up coat rather than the coat itself, also im not quite sure what you mean push away, i treat a wall and the ceiling the same weather im floating or skimmingInteresting; what’s the pricking up coat, ?
Its the first coat you push through the laths.

and on the top.
Steve, I was taught to push away when you render or a float coat on a ceiling.
