just looked at the pics mate and I see what you mean - you will always get some show through with rougher backrounds like on a domestic, but one thing i would ask is are you two coating it and after you have two coated how soon do you flatten in ie, first trowel? i always hit the first trowel straight away i find it evens the skim much better while its wetish and makes the rest of the troweling up process much easier. some of my lads like to let it stiffen a little before they touch it but you can often see alot of their roughing on marks showing through and in wors cases the wall not being completely flat and level finished. there is no wrong or right way here as each to their own but i would say give it a go and see how your next gauge goes - get it flattened in qiuck smart careful not to take too much off tho, and then let it go in see how easy trowelin up isdaz1968 said:pics of some work on https://photobucket.com/daz1968 just started bathtroom renovation boxed in and plumbed new toilet myselfziggy2 said:Never mind how it looks, how does it feel?
