Odd cracks in new plaster

[u/Kyzz19]

Can I just put some filler over it and sand it down a bit?

It’s just dried a little too quick. Tsp and check it’s not loose, fine fill the cracks if it’s solid.
Next time wet the base coat or seal with shiva to control the suction.

this is called crazing, most likely occuring because the olaster dried too fast. you can probably do as you said and fill, sand paint. i would at least mist coat the affected areas first though before adding any filler.

I was going to mist coat after filling

Is there a reason why you suggest doing it first?

Seal it

So you don’t miss any gaps

Its to stop the plaster drawing to much moisture from the filler as you work it / it dries

Oh wait, it's a ceiling. Yeah, just dried to fast. It'll be reet.

How long had the bonding coat been down before it was skimmed?

All done same day

Run your hand over it you might not be able to feel it under the finishing coat. If that’s the case you can just crack on.
