Cheers Marshy. One question: I bought the pole for it (slightly miffed as they have the extendables back in stock now but never mind) do you find it best to push it or pull it on ceilings?

That's a good question!!
I do more pushing than pulling

When your filling the bottom of the wall , mix a small bucket of bonding to do it.
I tend to use left over finish from the ceiling as id be doing it all in one day but your better doing it with bonding.

Yeah next straight wall you get try putting more on with one trowel and kind of follow that right to finish.
Plenty of people on here will give you advice.

I use a 13" marshalltown. Spread friend o mine suggested not going bigger as gets too awkward.
