UNEVEN WALL

[adrianw]

ALRIGHT GENTS. IVE GOT AN UNEVEN WALL THAT NEEDS SORTING. I THOUGHT I COULD DOT DAB IT OR PVA AND BOND.WHICH IS THE PREFERED METHOD,CHEERS.

Different situations demand different fixes, but I'd try to opt for dabbing as its quicker cleaner and easier generally.

 

[mistersmooth]

if you dab it youve got internal angles to think about

If you use bonding, no need to pva, just dampen with water. As a novice you'll find it easier to get a better finish with boards. Take your level and measure the diference between top and bottom.

Thanks lewisricekrispy.If it were your job how would you do it ? I've rendered my mates garage so the bonding isn't a problem.

just do it how a plasterer would mate

 

[lewisricekrispy]

Never had a problem from not pvaing bonding, but if you wanna it's down to you. I'd probably go for dot'n'dab unless they requested useing undercoat plaster. It's quicker and less messy.
