    Want to learn spray plastering

    You are right the prep does need to be good, but depending on which plaster you use some are a bit more forgiving.

    Airless plaster

    Guys, providing the prep of the joints is good the Airless finish should be achievable without to many problems. If the boards are a bit proud, just feather the jointing out to lose the high points, when dry sand if required and then apply. Knauf provide good support for Airless Plasters, if you...
