Re-skim

Surely he could get a better response than that lads , what's this forum coming too , @lurpak , being hungover is no excuse for such a dismal slagging , and not even a pic from @Cockney1 , all in all its a poor show .
Now don't tell him how to dry out his wall before PVA , and certainly not about a wet coat first , I'm going for a cr.p and hope to see some improvement by the time I get back

@essexandy I view it a different way , YouTube trained spreads just make the good look better and their mistakes do nothing but enhance a good spreads reputation , the more sh.t job they do the better and who wants the customer who judges by price alone

I asked builder other day why he was using animal . He more or less said just leave it. It theft to me as customer is paying for a job and sooner or later someones gonna pull his work. Plus it's in decent houses not shithole renters

Lol! I was saying this to @lurpak the other day! Sometimes when someone asks what I do for a living and I tell them they think it’s great! Oh wow, how unusual yada yada etc and then they realise they’ve got sucked into a conversation... at a party no less... about walls !

Because of time constraints I didn’t manage to complete a job to the finished standard I wanted. I did get to flatten everything, but just couldn’t get round to polishing.

Is it possible to skim over the plastered walls again, and if so how long should I wait before doing so?

Also, what should I use to seal the plaster on the wall already before re-skimming. The space I am working in is very cold and damp, so the drying time will already be longer than usual.

Thanks!

Soon s**t will become the norm and good will become an outdated way of thinking.

Unless someone comes up with an IKEA version of spreading the demand will outstrip supply , dot and dab hasn't stemmed the flow , I'm still busy with flattening artex most of my customers want overskim because of skirtings , theirs just no better method of fixing up old houses ,

Perhaps but it depends on your situation and if you find someone willing to teach you.

The best way is to learn from a good spread who specializes in external for a couple of years then find one that's into internal
Too many money oriented people out their who give a promised of education for hard work and ultra low wages , fair enough most will give up, but up the pace and sort out the chaff , for their sakes as well as good business sense
