    Hi guys new to this forum so please don't rip me a new one. I decided to have a go at plastering a stipple ceiling in my house. I added bonding plaster to even it out and score which went well. Left it 18 hours to dry a little as ran out of time. Pva it up using 3-1 then added multifinish. My...
