Hi All
Looking for some more superb guidance if i may be so bold. Im new to this and started off patching small home in my lime walls with the intention of getting a plasterer into do the bigger patches. As ive built up and practised im now at the point where ive done big sections ie 3 by 4 feet of blown plaster and its very smooth.. My questions are this if i may:
1: Ive read I need to open the pores of the plaster so it breaths, but the original stuff (Definately Lime) is like glass so a little confused.
2: Ive read about sponge floats but when I tried it it dragged the plaster so i stuck to metal float. any issues with this?
3: I started off with Anglia lime, Coarse and fine stuff. Fantastic stuff and love it but im seeing cheaper versions bagged. Am i ok to use this or would you stick to the premixed?
Many thanks
