We have a number of new plaster patches in our house,  for example 1.5 meters by 0.8 meters on the ceiling.   When I ran my hand over the existing ceiling to the plaster, I felt the plaster sticks out a bit  (towards the ground).    It can abruptly stick out around the edges of the new plaster next to the existing ceiling.  I am planning to skim that area with Easyfill to smooth it out. 

 

Is my approach sensible to use Easyfill to smooth out the area?  Do you have any other suggestions?

Big band of easyfill around the edges of new plaster to new. A decent 12" or so wide band. Then sand with either a wood, or cork block.
