diy plastering

[housediyer]

I have just replastered my bathroom with bonding and multi finish top coat. Most of the top coat is level and smooth and i'm happy, however as I am a beginner @ plastering there is a few pits and rough bits. I was thinking of applying a basecoat sealer to disguise these but reading the forum indicates that this is probally not very wise.

Could anyone tell me what is the best way to fill small pits and smooth over rough bits in my it top coat plaster?

Thank you in advance

Honestly? The best way would be get a plasterer in to glue and reskim.

If you are fixed on doing it yourself then it's a case of filler, careful sanding, and lots of time.

paint the wall with a watered down emulsion paint, usually 50/50ish.

this will show up any blemishes. fill the blemishes with fine filler and lightly sand.

do not use pva if you intend painting the surface.

good on ya for giving it a go.
