1st job nerves.

Depending on the size of the room etc,and.what you can handle, it will take much longer,but just do one wall at a time for now speed is important but quality is more important so take it one wall at a time

Plaster smells fear, so don’t get monkey brained

fk the gimmicky flexi trowels off and get used to using 1 quality worn in stiff trowel through the whole set.

Until you get tennis elbow…… then buy every snappy bendy trowel there is!

I used to get nervous, but not so often now as I’ve learned to get over most problems. Plaster smells fear, so don’t get monkey brained if you’re getting stressed and it’s going off quicker than you’d like. Stay focused. Worst case scenario, you’ll have to slap another coat on and miss coronation st.

sponge float can save the day.

I’m not a plasterer btw, just a chancer

Just relax and engage with the customer, sheet up and keep everything clean and tidy. Don’t over do it and do what you can handle! Speed comes with experience. Good luck
