they are the bits you missed mate.. u can sure them buy useing a good filler later on or while on the job just use a lil bit of fat from your trowel and spread it over and give it a few hard trowels every 5 mins ita work out ok.

Good advice about using filler (gyproc quicksand is good) but fat off the trowel is a bad idea as fat will not set of the same as the rest of the wall and is in fact dead. Ask any good decorator and they will tell you they have problems with the paint adhering to the fat as it often lifts and goes round on the roller.

Also fat has a more water than plaster content as it is a bye product of plaster so it shrinks when it dries out so it wont fill anything.
