Skimming new (still damp) plaster

[GotWood]

Evenin' all,

I have been trying my hand at plastering recently and am pretty happy with the results. I am find walls and ceilings "easy" but struggling with the smaller/fiddly areas.

Today I plastered a window recess but, due to running out of plaster, I need to go back over it.

How do I do this? If I get some plaster tomorrow, can I skim it whilst it's still damp? Would I need to PVA? Or would this stop the original coat from drying?

If the plaster is still damp, you are likely to get away without PVA prep.
As the suction rate will still be low but don't live it too long!
