Repairing small section in corner of the ceiling

Pert said:
Great thanks all, going to repair and use easifill 20. Use a small indirect heater, 2 coats and sand down with 120gt.

finally please, joint tape, needed? If so is Fibafuse joint tape the best option? And if so just over the joints on ceiling or where the walls meet also?

I assumed you were a home owner and doing it in your own house. You shouldn't have to ask these questions if you're charging someone tbh
 
Update:

Did the job Mon/Tues, using easifill 20, I taped all the joints with fibafuse, both really good products.

I did two coats of the easifill 20 and got a small heater fan on in the small utility room, closing all the doors. I waited 40 mins but the easifill was still wet in parts so decided to leave it and went back the next day to sand down. Good finish in my option, customer happy.

I’ve done an intensive plastering course at Yorkshire Training Academy, very good but doesn’t teach you everything, hence my original post.

Thanks for all the helpful advice.

You really are a tit. Obviously the heater has to be nearby.

I often have to do quick repairs on the rental properties I look after. Someone had kicked in some Pb on stud wall other week and broken the bathroom door lock and frame. Job on the way home. Quick patch on Pb with a bit of 2x1...filler and heater on. Cut out damaged bit of door frame and glued and spliced some wood in. Knock top off filler and recoat wall with heater back on. Finish frame repair and door lock. Quick sand down of wall and sorted. Just over an hour.

Ok, shouldn’t have taken the bait, but I like my little heater.

Oh it's a rental property so you don't care about the standard that makes sense. What you've just described isn't possible in an hour to a decent standard

just over an hour...keep up.

In an ideal world, everyone would just let everything ‘air dry’. Good job you get talcum powder in your Xmas stocking!

Still not possible to a decent standard. You can't sand Easifill for several hours at least
 
For transparency, on Monday the weather was very muggy and raining heavily, I only had the fan on for 40 mins. I started the job in the pm and had somewhere to go so couldn’t wait any longer. I couldn’t say if it would have dried better on a dryer day and if I waited a little longer. I’ll have to test this again in these conditions.
 
Fibafuse, then 3 coats of easifil 20, feathered out, the edges are already drying (the only bit that needs a rub if you know what your are doing), job done in an hour. At 6.48 I had sausage rolls, beans and chips.

"already drying" it's all already drying, it's drying from the moment you mix it. What you need is it to be already dry.
But that squire isn't ready to sand I'm afraid
 
Seems a awful long thread for filling a few screw holes that popped! Did the proffesor complicate things again with his awkward nature.

Just correcting incorrect statements. Full time job on here
 
This is the feedback I have just received for the work, couldn’t ask for more.
