[John j]

I don't mate. I don't know the reason certain ways of doing things are the correct (in the opinion of the board manufacturers and b.s.) ways of doing things, I just try to find out what they are and apply them mate.

Cause you can't reach top

As the plaster starts to dry, you can smooth out any imperfections by lightly going over it with a damp brush or sponge. This helps blend layers and improves the final finish.

Was thinking today about a few tips pete has given me since I started out and also @zombies bonding in skim tip (which ive now used and was impressed) and was wondering if anyone else had any real good tips they were given that makes life a lot easier....i know its going to sound stupid but the course taught us to lay a ceiling on in waves starting from one wall and then moving back towards the opposite wall...pete showed me to just lay on all the way around the edge and then just fill around the light...only simple but I would have carried on doing it the way I was originally shown and that way is so much faster.

When skimming into an external bull nose fold up a plastic bag so it's got a good edge , dip it into a bucket of water then run it up the bull nose as close as you can get to the walls either side and you get a perfect finish on them

Nice to see a new member with a good sense of humour Levi.
