right, as some of you know im still learning so go easy (certain members lol).
just had a go at skimming my ceiling which is quite big (for me).
so i layed my first coat on, flattened, then my second, flattened, then when i came round to trowelling it again it started leaving rough patches and felt dry.
now i've been taught to not throw water on but it seems like i have no choice most of the time.
am i catching it too late, or too early or holding the trowel at too much of an angle? Its really pissing me off trying to get that perfect finish.
