Hoping for some advice -
As an avid DIY-er I've decided I want to give plastering my garage a go - Having done quiet a bit of research I understand most people say leave plastering to the professionals however its not the end of the world if I get it wrong and is more for practice then anything else.
Im going to start with one wall and see how I get on -
The wall is breeze block - would the process be-
PVA/Water
Place a layer of browning and level out
go over this then with multi finish and smooth over finish ?
If so, how much time do you allow between the browning and multi finish? Do I need to wait for the browning coat to completely dry or should it all be done at the same time allowing them to dry together if that makes sense?
I have considered dot / dabbing but as stated this is more a small project just to see how I get on with plastering
Any help appreciated
Cheers
Sean
