patch work

[Greig]

Hello everyone,

I've got a bit of patch work to do in a few ceilings, trying to avoid skimming them all. The ceilings were skimmed years ago. I've screwed in new bits of plasterboard and was wondering should I use couple coats of multi finish then a bit of joint cement to help feather it in?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks very much

just use multi

Yeah multi should be fine but if you do end up with a join just use easy fill to feather it in. If its your first attempt at patching then I would suggest you get some easy fill as there is a bit of an art to patching, I know spreads who been doing it donkeys and still cant master it or don't want to.

i take it the ceilings painted? if so use some sandpaper around the patch about 6inch itll help stop the bits from scratching the skim
