no mate what it is... sand and cement shrinks when drying so if you skim it this will set and the cement will still shrink so it will crack the skim

just skim it pro ....... yes in an ideal situation leave it to dry out but 99% of jobs they want it done and done yesterday. if the job is large where i have a weeks worth of floating then i leave it but small jobs i float and skim the next day.
How many builders/customers/developers etc are happy to wait a week before you finish then another week before they can paint????? ......answer...... NONE!
