Not allowed mobiles while in the hmp-del-sol, which is why they were everywhere
Each day was an amazing adventure, no one knew what was going on! The week I was due out someone lit an entire wing on fire, I had a look at the flames and dozens of fire engines, and went back to sleep - Just a normal day really lol

@LarryTheLag im not local so tried take a few pictures today to help show what I’m saying
Walls were pva’d and left to dry. Pic 1
First coat on, try keep it reasonable but don’t mess with it at all. Put it on and don’t touch it. Pic 2
As your learning the gear probably too far gone to use for second coat so mix up a smaller amount and bit thinner
Put second coat on exactly the same way. First coat should still be bit wet so you’re actually flattening the first coat by applying the second. Pic 3
Once this coats on immediately go across it with your speedskim
Now leave it for a bit then trowlel
Up when it gone in a bit.Tip. If you’re creating lines its too soon. But don’t leave it too long. Keep an eye on it
Trowel up remove lines fill any bits and leave it, should be nice at this point
Leave for bit till firmed up then cross trowel it use water if needed pic 4

Thankyou very much for the time taken out of your day to do that for me - really appreciated, the pictures certainly help
Couple of questions!
A) Was the pva put on neat and how many layers do you usually do?
B) How long from the first mud on the hawk to finishing the last trowel take you for the first layer?
C) Did you finish the wall and then go back to flatten, or did you do a portion, flattern and then move on?
D) How long did you leave it between setting to work the final trowel?

You never gone in such details for @maltman777 and he was on here before Larry !?! And next time do what everyone on here does- take a picture while the plaster is still wet and shiny, this way no one can see the low spot left of the switch

That’s a good point, @maltman777 should ask himself that as I’ve offered advice to a few. Also offered work out on here and tried multiple times to throw work to @ChrispyUK
No lows on my work thankyou very much lol. Ironically I much prefer to see it dried out. Hate it when just finished and hate it even more when its half dry
Was 1 of 3 walls 1 gauge nice little day today home by 1 @John j

Sorry mate I’ve only just clocked this message.
A) I mix pva with about 50/50 water. Sounds silly but The first coat of pva will tell you if you need another. 95% of the time i use one coat as I don’t want to he hanging around. But use 22 to be safe.. put first one and straight away do second it will go white for a little bit if fully covered.
B) the wall in picture took probably 10 mins (max) to put on. I had another 2 walls on with that one.
C) i dont flatten the first coat. I put first on, then second. Then flatten .
D) the walls finished while its still wet. Flat and filled. So can leave it for a while until its firm then cross trowel with spash of water
Hope this helps. Hard to explain really but this is the best way i can just try this
Pva and let dry
First coat on . Do not flatten or anything
Immediately put second coat on, use new gear until you’re more confident/quicker
Flatten immediately with speedskim
Let it pick up a bit and trowel up/flatten/fill with stainless
At this point it should be finishedish.. just need a cross
