bonding and skimming

Hi All, 1975 era house with a mix of Concrete block and Cinder block internal walls which I am certain were cement rendered and skim plastered originally. I have removed a lot of built in wardrobes and also cut many chases for wiring and have been filling chases to circa 2mm sub surface with...

I put yellow grit on my wall and a layer of bonding on the lower half to level it (it curved) . I PVA’d the wall next day 2:1, twice then did a couple of coats of multifinish. The section over the bonding bubbled alot after the 2nd coat, and I had to wait ages to get rid of the bubbles at all...
