If a box is proud, a plasterer will tend to make the plaster deeper just

But the OPs boxes are only 1 - 2 mm proud of the plasterboard. Assuming
that there's to be a 3mm skim then they'll be 2 - 1 mm below the
finished surface of the plaster and there should be no need for the
plasterer to build up extra thickness at the boxes.


Ah finally ! A voice of reason :-)


You cannot reason with a plaster.
