Bad Walls

[Ahmed78]

I was reading on here about tiger stripes.
I've got this friend who does a bit of skimming & he keeps getting these tiger stripes & asked me why they happen & how to avoid it.
So what do you reckon?
And then i can tell him what to do.

At this time of year the gear is taking a lot longer to pull in .2 days ago i had to wait over 3 hrs to polish the walls id just plasterd in August with temparature of 35 c takes 1hr.
The good thing is you can get a lot more on becuse you got more time.

I have had it due to all kinds of reasons. having a very good light is the best way to prevent them as you can really see your wall and you can trowel them out as soon as you see them.

Poor/no light and you wont see the buggers until its painted and the suns shining down the wall then get your excuse book out!
