Hi, just re-decorating the bathroom, I had to block up an old door way and the blocks I used are wider than the ones used in the house so there is about a 3/4" difference between the old doorway and the main wall, is it best to skim a scratch coat on the main wall to bring it level and then start afresh on the whole section?
Also I removed the tiles off another wall and some of the plaster came off aswell, the plaster was quite loose in alot of places so I stripped the lot off with a kango, there are alot of small raised patches of old plaster still stuck on the blocks, they are sticking out about 2-5mm, is it ok to skim over them? am I right in thinking all I have to do is wet the blockwork before applying the plaster? cheers
