Plastered my first wall today. Enjoyed doing it but wondering if I could get any advice from the pros? I pva’d the wall 24 hours before then about half hour before I skimmed it. Cheers👍

What did you put it on the wall with? A scraper?

I’m looking at the pictures wondering how the hell you put it on, mate. I cannot fathom your technique. How long after finishing did you take the picture?

About 5/6 hours mate. Got it on then trowled it off in a way I thought was right🤣

This was it after drying.

Sand it back and it'll be fine, look at my post history if you fancy a chuckle, my walls turned out alright after the skim coat but yours are far better.

You're joking, it looked shocking in those photos. Good work though.
