When you say set do you mean when it’s gone solid, or coupler hours after wet trowel or next day? Thanks a lot by the way

I have a good finish but was just wondering how to get a proper glass finish I know the painters don’t like it but it does look good. Is it lots of dry troweling or is there another way or a certain trowel to use? Would really appreciate some tips thanks

Want to try one coat plastering. Any tips? Can you use standard MF or must you use one coat plaster? Would really appreciate any advice, thanks.

Just wondering if dot n dab in bathrooms is ok because would be quicker than screwing in batons

never used a speedskim, when using speedskim on final coat I heard you use it twice. So do you wait for the plaster to firm up a bit like when troweling or just do it straight away? Please help thanks

Sorry when you say 25% more with first coat do you mean make the coat thicker or flatten sooner? Thanks

Yeah don’t know if it’s for me and it seems it could be more time consuming than the traditional way

cheers mate I have a decent finish without it but I saw someone use one years ago and his work was perfect so thought I would try. Thanks

Tried the sponge and couldn’t get the sponge marks completely out. when using sponge do you flatten the final coat sooner than normal and apply the sponge straight away while the wall is still pretty wet? And do you flatten out the sponge marks straight away or wait a bit? Would really...

C Cheers mate but is it ok to use in both coats?

There’s a feb 2 in 1 bottle both waterproofer and plasticiser. I heard your meant to put waterproofer in scratch coat and plasticiser in top coat. This 2 in 1 should be alright for both coats right?

For small areas could you get away with using one thick coat of pva before skimming?

Just skimmed over some wet bonding and some bubbles/dimples have appeared. Anyway to get rid of these?

Thanks mate. Yeah Don’t really have time for that. So sand and cement or hardwall ?
