Can an internal sand & Cement render (small area repairs) be skimmed a couple of weeks after it's been done? I would like to get a couple of original walls repaired and ready so the repairs can be skimmed at the same time as the boards.

Yes, no problem. Render should be allowed to dry before skim is applied.
See sprite 1275 in the building forum?
 
Thanks Vinn. Another question: Is there any reason why I can't use Drywall adhesive to fix the corner beads. I was going to use plasterboard screws but they seem to sit a bit high and I don't have any finish plaster at the minute.
