Hello All

[Tonev]

Evening everyone,

Just joined this forum to pic up any information I can to help progress to a higher level.
I'm not the best plasterer in the world, but certainly not the worst. I consider myself honest & always willing to put in a good days graft.

My 1st question is about rippling. I recently plastered a ceiling and revisited house when it was painted. At a glance everything looks fine, flat, clean edges etc. But in a certain light you can see slightly rippling in places. Is this where I have troweled it to wet or second coated too early. The customer is happy with no problems it's just something I noticed.

Cheers

Tone, Bristol

Welcome, listen to your trowel!the sound when trowling up should be the same if the sound changesmomentarily your pressure on the trowel has changed and hence the ripples.
