Skimming Walls & Ceilings
Both dry lining and wet plastering will usually be finished with a plaster skim. This is a final coat of plastering with a very smooth durable finish to it. In general a plaster skim will only be 2-3mm thick. Plaster skimming is again a difficult art to master. It involves two main steps. Firstly lay the plaster on as smooth and flat as possible and then leave to dry for 20-40mins.
The second step is called polishing, this is where the plaster is sprayed or brushed with a light film of water and then polished down with a trowel or sponge to produce a smooth finish.
There are certain rules that you must follow in order to get good results with skimming plaster:
Firstly ensure that the the surface is ready to be skimmed! Plasterboard or backing coat can be skimmed over with out preparing the surface. If you intend skimming over existing plaster or previously painted surfaces then a coat of diluted PVA bonding should be applied, if not the plaster will crack!
Whenever you are mixing plaster ensure that all your buckets and tools are very clean! Any tiny pieces of old plaster can make plastering a nightmare.
Always mix plaster by adding the water first, then slowly add the plaster and mix it well either with a wooden stick or mixer drill.
If you are plastering a room ensure that you do not try and do two walls that are touching each other (like in a corner) or this will make it extremely difficult as you will damage one wall whilst plastering the other.
There are two ways of applying the final coat of plaster, one method uses one coat of finishing plaster and the second method uses two coats of finishing plaster. For DIY use It will probably be easiest to use two coats instead of one, to do this simply apply the plaster as described below then apply another coat of plaster before the first coat has gone off, then wait for this coat to go off sufficiently before polishing it.
