Thistle undercoat plaster; manufacturer says if necessary to achieve the required thickness, build up basecoat in 11mm stages.
If applying the base coat in two layers, at what stage should the second layer be applied? Is it when the first layer has just become firm but not yet gone hard, i.e. when the first layer is at the same stage you would let a base coat get to if you were then going to apply a top/skim coat?
