    @bodplasterer - think i've found my limits. Think the ceiling would be biting off more than I could chew!

    My first attempt at skimming (photo)

    @ Dannymac - the wall was old plasterboard with the lining paper removed. I cleaned it up and applied two coats of pva, one dry one tacky.

    My first attempt at skimming (photo)

    Hi all, I had a go at skimming last night (photo attached). I am reasonably happy with the results. I put on two thin coats of multi finish. I gave it two wet and two dry trowels (dwwd). It feels polished to touch. There are couple of drag marks here and there that I couldn't fill out after...

    Skim coat over old plasterboard

    Hi I'm looking to skim over old plasterboad. The old plasterboard is in not too bad condition. Would a coat or two of PVA (5:1) suffice or should I remove and replace the boards? Also should I use Multi or Board finish? Thanks
