No didn't do that, there's not much thickness to the bonding coat. So far its been up 4 days and it None of its fell down! Is rough as a badgers arse in places but hopefully will turn out ok once rubbed up and skimmed. Is it necessary to devil float bonding coat? For future ref

For a 1st attempt it don't look too shite! There are dark/light patches, wondered if that's cos I didn't apply enough WBA. Will maybe give it a light rub down then perhaps x2 sealing coats to be sure
