Morning,
New here and hoping for some advice. Nearing the end of a long, drawn out main bathroom refurb. Involved digging down the existing floor by 18" and building back up to include UFH, new ceiling inc joists. The walls were so "out" I've studded them and covered with a mix of MR plasterboard and Aqua Panel for the wet room corner. All pipework is hidden and there's lit pockets in the wall. The ceiling too is MR.
In terms of skimming I need to do the 3x3 ceiling and one half wall say 3x1.5 as SWMBO wants the option to change the colour scene now and then by repainting. The rest will be tiled floor to ceiling. Keen to have a crack myself. Done a little bit year back.
Now right or wrong I've used tapered edge MR pb. I was intending to Febond Blue Grit the areas to be skimmed as opposed to pva. To Febond or not seems to divide opinion!
Then whether to add cream of tartare or not, someone said it aids workability - good for a newbie!
A question ref tape though, does this go on first then the Febond or do I Febond first?
At the mo I've just set up and raised the floor on some tubes / off cuts. Puts the ceiling about 11" from my head and a bit less where I've covered over the bath.

The half wall:
Cheers in advance.
