Hi guys,
My plasterer has now finished applying the render and multifinish skim coat. Looks very nice and smooth. I know I need to leave it to dry out, but I've been told previously, that allthough it has a nice smooth glassy finish, it's worth giving it a light sand to remove any ridges or blemished before painting.
Can anyone advise on how to do this? I assume it's just a case of lightly going over everything? What sand paper? Is a sanding pad useful with a broom handle stuck in the handle? I assume I then wipe the walls down with a wet cloth before painting.
Thanks in advance
