you are quite new to the plastering game as i recall from an earlier post... give it time.... the plasterers we used to use (sadly deceased) always stated took me x amout of years to perfect me technique!!!!

so take your time, and the more you do actually do the better you should end up!!!
and some of the spreads that are around now, our painter friend spend quite a while filling on to freshly skimmed walls!!!
so the odd pit, wipe mark etc should not be too much of a "slur" upon your character!!!

I have used that on many a occasion (Gyproc), and a bag goes a very long way, but it goes off quite quick, so I knock it up in small amounts.

I am a tetrion person, I think its brilliant stuff for filling.

I wouldnt worry about small nicks, and trowel marks, it comes with being a plaster Grin

, I have never yet painted a new plastered wall or ceiling without having to make good. Sad

No offence to any of the plasters out there, but must admit some can be slapdash.

Thats why the eastern european, specially the Polish plasters have got such a good name, dont know about after spending time in the UK working, but a releativly new polish plasterer to our shores, does know how to plaster to a high standard.
Reason being, when they plaster in thier country, they have to leave it perfect, cause when the decorator goes in to paint,the plasterer get money taken off them for what making good the painter does,so rather than lose money, they do a pukka job.
