Had a small wall to skim, havent really done much skimming but was with another lad whose done a fair bit. Anyway heres the background on it. We had blocked up a door way and boarded it, the rest of the wall was painted plaster. The boss wanted a tight coat of bonding put on then skimmed on top of that. So put a thin coat of bonding on, left it for bout 3 hours then skimmed on top of that. The problem was that bubbles appeared in the top coat. Mainly on side which was already plastered. Ive tried looking on here but couldnt see anything. Oh I did PVA the wall.
So I assume it was either because the bonding hadnt had enough time to set, or that the finish was too thin? Any help would be appreciated. Was the first time ive used bonding so want to know what went wrong before I use it again.
