You may be better just bitting the bullet and getting in a decent plasterer mate.

I think you’d make a good go at plastering if you’d been taught properly .. is it your own shop??

No not my shop but I run it with another lad, I am keen to do a bit more plastering to be fair and like you said being shown the right way would help not sure how much I would learn from a course would be better mixing plaster for someone who could show me bits here and there
