A not- so-perfect finish - use filler or re-skim?

[andyhandy]

Hi guys,

I'm sure I'm about to receive some sort of abuse for this but here goes...

It's my first attempt at plastering.. had an entire wall to do, was all looking pretty good until I ran out of finish plaster. The skim set a bit too hard for me to re-mould some existing bits enough to flatten the whole wall, so here and there are little maybe 3-4 inches across that are a couple mm's shallower than the rest of the wall.

Most of the wall is pretty good, it's been a couple weeks now and there are no cracks etc, no different coloured patches like i've read on some posts in this forum.

My question is, should I use some sort of filler or do a re-skim. As long as it provides an equal finish and is strong enough to last years I don't mind, I can put wallpaper over it if needs be.

Cheers
