Hello all.
Part way through doing the lounge/diner and I have probably the longest wall that I've needed to skim before.
At 7.5m long, is probably small by pro standards, but is a new proposition for me, as I don't do it that often now.
I figure I can break it up into two, and blend in fairly easily over the wood door. However, I've never needed to do this before, and I feel it's cheating! So i feel I should stretch myself.
I will do the 2 coats in 2 mixes, but I've concerns that each mix won't all fit on my spot board, which is about 1/3rd of an old door.
Generally, I like to get the finish mix out of the bucket onto a spot board so I can quickly clean out the bucket before starting. Then no delay with mix #2.
How do you guys deal with large mixes and spot boards? Is my board too small? Or do you get a labourer to keep the spot board filled then go wash the bucket?
Advice welcome on tackling this one, so I don't ar*e it up on Friday afternoon!
