wavy lines and ripples in plastered wall

[sarfaraz]

Hi whats causing these unsightly lines and ripples? Is it because Im spreading plaster on the wall unevenly? : :RpS_blushing:

Cross trowel all the way through it needed one more

 

[sarfaraz]

Would you do the cross trowel immediately after the second coat before the first wet trowel?

 

[SpankySouthport]

Yes all the way through

Ok mate, it doesnt look that bad from the pic... what you did as the boys have said is, not cross trowelled right at the end .. you could get some Gyproc easyfill and skim in the hollows, when dry ( couple of hours ) you can sand it to match the rest... should come up ok... you should be proud of that as a DIY,er... good luck with the wall and the job hunt mate...
