Plastering my conservatory roof

[LarryTheDecorator]

Hi everyone, not been on for a while, had a few family deaths to deal with.


I've inherited a house, and converted the conservatory poly roof to a solid one, it's a victorian style (two flat sides, three triangles, all about 2m widest point by 2m high, about 10sqm total). I've put up the plasterboard and scrimed ready.

In terms of plaster, in the past I've had issues with multi flash setting and considering using finishing with a spot of extratime thown in. (originally looked at roll on plaster)

I wondered, I haven't plastered for about a year now, is there anything else I need to do as would have forgotton a few tricks. Planning on doing the two flat sides first, middle triangle, then the other two

Thanks all

Hence the the saying "face like a plasterers sporran" handy for @Casper to keep his gold and platinum credit cards.
