Single coat... Worked for me
The nice thing about Artex is that you can apply very thin coats and play around with the finish for longer than you can with plaster.
Throw it away immediately. Artex is horrible stuff and a real pain to remove.
Don't be silly. It's just halfway between a plaster and a filler, and therefore much easier for the amateur, especially on ceilings. It doesn't form swirls and stipples unless you force it to.
