would this work

[S a plastering]

got a bit of a dodgy reskim parts are a bit soft not to many but the rest is solid but full of spiderweb cracks
was thinking instead of knocking it off which the customer dont really want the mess tight coat of bonding
with weber mesh embedded then multi to skim

 

[Gibbo]

yes it works mate done it loads of times

I've done it with a load of fibres in the TCB before on spiderweb reskims :RpS_wink:

I wouldn't even bother with the bonding if it's a straight reskim, just bed the mesh in the first coat. I did this all over my last rental property and haven't had a single crack reappear.

Did you still have to 2 coat it after andy?

 

[Nisus]

I've done the same with fibres in 1st coat of skim if there's no dubbing out to do.

I did a ceiling last year dave with weber cloth and we bedded it into the first coat then second coated it and it was fine mate but its a pain in the arse putting it on a ceiling a bit like wall papering.

ceilings i would just reboard them anyway its more the walls im concerned with but thanks for all the input lads

 

[bodplasterer]

We couldnt on this job as the original cornice would have been ****** but as a rule we normally over board aswell

As Bod said just put the second coat on as normal.
