    Thoughts on my plastering (first time ever)

    Thanks for all the feedback! As long as it doesn’t come off the ceiling I’ll be happy haha. I’m going to give it a mist coat with watered down emulsion and then fill in any rough bits with easy fill, hopefully that’ll make it look better in the light. If it ends up looking really bad I’ll...
