Stretch marks lol.
think what your describing is tiger stripes?
Are you using fresh gear for laying in?are you laying in too soon?
welcome to the forum....:RpS_thumbup:

 

[Olican]

Welcome along Leo. Stripes can be a pain, make sure you have good lighting when you work so you can see your misses and fill them before your walls set. Laying in too soon or using stiff gear for laying in can cause this as well.

Tiger stripes are common if you don't clean your trowel often enough....

Hi Leo, tiger stripes normally caused by too much pressure on the trowel in the early stages or if you left it too long to flatten and had to use a lot of pressure to get it flat. On it nice and early with little pressure should help.

 

[jesssop]

Can you see or feel these stripes before you paint? If not its the way you paint.

Tiger stripes I always thought it was called the JJ effect :rolleyes)

 

[leo23]

[leo23]

Tiger stripes I do believe they are called now

 

[johniosaif]

Plastic trowel would get rid of them

 

[Fatarm]

.eh. how does that work asif....:RpS_confused:

 

[casplas]

Plastic trowel would get rid of them

you got me puzzled here? ,how would plastic help ,you need to scrape back and lay it on again soon as you see them, let 1stcoat go off more to help solves stripes....

 

[johniosaif]

Ok, I shall rephrase, use of the plastic trowel for flattening will reduce the
ikelihood of tiger stripes..

 

[Fatarm]

Will it ?
I don't use the plazzie for flattening ...so erm , I'll take your word for it.....:RpS_unsure:
