What's a cats face? Genuinely not heard that one beforeVery nice.
Next time go all the way to the ceiling and all the way to the wall. Tidy up the corners, get rid of the cat's faces,get rid of the tiger stripes, put more walls on,try to get more on the wall than you did on the floor, get the lumps out of it and you'll be nearly there.
The little circle that you get when your trowel goes over two high spots and doesn't catch the void between them. Maybe it's a Manchester word.What's a cats face? Genuinely not heard that one before
Thought that was what you meant but wasn't sure, didn't even know they had a nameThe little circle that you get when your trowel goes over two high spots and doesn't catch the void between them. Maybe it's a Manchester word.

We call that a miss here, not in a female wayThe little circle that you get when your trowel goes over two high spots and doesn't catch the void between them. Maybe it's a Manchester word.
Paint it mate that will highlight the faults, multi and board finish is hit and miss these days, you won't see many posting fully dried areas as the discoloration of the gear can be misleading even though it's fine when painted

Fair play for the guts to put it up.It’s not great,terrible to be honest.If your serious about wanting to improve try and get in with someone local to you that’s experienced and has a good reputation.You will improve rapidly.

What's the weird picture on the wall all about?
The wall on the left
Think it's a northern thing my old lecturer calls any "misses" "cats faces" I call em feacesNeither did I until I went to Manchester. @Marshy @JessThePlasterer - is it just a Manchester name?
Anyone else?
As jess said, ignore topspreadOnly ever heard them called cat faces don't know if it's northern or not.
It's a fine first attempt. College taught me to go straight over with second coat so don't know if they're teaching you that way but it's s**t.
Get your first coat nice and flat and then smooth it. New mix for second coat bit thinner, lay on and smooth. Leave it alone! Then trowel it.
You can only pick up timings as you go to avoid tiger stripes etc. Always watch your edges, nice clean lines

Joking if it's a first attempt fair play we all remember what it was like first starting out! Luckily I was bunking off school when I was a lad working with my dad weekends and whenever lol by time I got to college I was so far infront of other lads even tutors couldn't teach me s**t ha!It's pretty good!! Is that stipple or bark effect?? Never really had much interest in the artex world

Giggety giggety goo xYeah when you start plaster is some weird unknown quantity with a mind of its own.
I remember one point dead frustrated feeling like I'd been whizzing it and then suddenly not getting better. Tutors used to let me come in on our Friday off and join the apprentice lads. I had a couple pints with them at lunch and was loads better, beer relaxed me and I stopped over thinking!
Lesson: beer makes you easy!

Cheers, will do! Looking to get rid of the tiger stripes within the next few attempts.Woohoo!!! Tiger stripe heaven son! Keep on practicing and getting timings right, all the best!
Very nice.
