Can I re-skim 2 days after bad skim job?

[johneym]

hello folks,
I am definitely not a plasterer but do my own bits and pieces of plastering and am renovating an old cottage in my spare time this past few years. I skimmed a small room yesterday, approx 25 m2 total skimmed area.However I was sure I had a can of petrol there for the generator but turns out I didn't. So half way through I was practically in the dark. Needless to say the finish is absolute s**t. I want to re- do the lot. Should the skim be bone dry before I PVA it to re-do.? Or can I crack on now? Many thanks for your help. John

thanks for the replies lads. However as said, I was wondering if I can PVA the wall now and re-skim it, or do I have to wait till the bad plaster is fully dried out before I PVA it? It will probably take at least a few more days to dry in this cold weather. No heating in house and only around 3 degrees,

Just get on it. Few pissy coats of pva then stronger.

@Casper hasn't. Only on his skills test at college.

Now he's out in the whirl, he just legs it and changes his phone number.

If it is only 3 degrees then you will need 2 coats and maybe a hat!
