I have just skimmed some plaster board, my 1st attempt, Its an area roughly of one sq meter. I am 90% happy with the outcome but there are about 4 little bits approx 50p size where there is a slight `depression` about 1mm lower than the rest, whats the best way to deal with this.? It didnt show up at the time but in artificial light it does, and I suspect when I apply paint it will also show up
Help appreciated. thanks.
At this stage, use something like polyfilla. Plaster isn't very good for repairing such small areas.
Plaster mixed with PVA and water works well if you have no filler.
Ok got it done with filler.
I see that Polycell makes various alternatives to Polyfilla to be used when trying to rectify poorly finished plaster. Haven't used it myself, though.
