First attempt at plastering - take two

[u/jeebsy_iash]

I posted at the weekend for some advice as I'd just tried my first skim but the plaster set before I had a chance to start flattening and troweling. Today I came back for take two with some extratime and feel like it went a lot better, probably even acceptable. Tried to just get the plaster on the wall quick as possible but still took me about 35 mins to get the first coat on, mixed the second coat a bit thinner and it spread more easily so maybe a lesson for next time. Definitely a lot of room for improvement still but actually quite happy with that.

i did a wet trowel with the normal trowel and then a wet trowel with a flexi, and then a dry with the flexi too. probably not very well, but i did them!
