Skimming

[nod]

I made a start skimming The upstairs today 

suprising what difference a bit of plaster on the walls make

Just waiting for the landing and bedroom ceiling to go off Then its Home for me

In my self build plan plastering is a personal no go zone, did you have prior experience?

[nod]

Yes I’ve run a plaster tiling business for over thirty years

Though we mostly do MF studwork these days

The old magic still there

What do you make of the speedskim sets & flexi trowels for the final pass?

Not good

They look ok till they are painted

Alot of ripples

Is that not in the technique & timing of their use though?

Not a spread myself though I can patch to an adequate standard so I’m not trying to convince you you’re wrong,just interested in different spreads opinions of these new methods. 

Seems a bit like the profiles/build corners division amongst brickies :))
