Default Calling all plasterers!

Hi there,

I've just started to skim coat my bathroom. I've completed one whole
wall and it took me quite a while to complete. As I've got another two
walls to complete and very little time to do it in (a 5 year old and a
10 month old keeping me busy!) I was wondering whether I wold be
better off splitting the remaining walls into sections, using 3 mm
strips of wood as a guide? I could skim up to the wood, remove when
the plaster has hardened, then the next night complete another
section, merging the existing layer of platster into the new bi as I
go..... any comments / suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!

I'm not a plasterer, but like you have tried it and I don't see why
not. One thing I've learned is that you really have to seal the walls
first otherwise they just suck out all the moisture.

....or just tile it all instead :-)
