    Lol, meant to write DONT lay it on thick.....

    I agree with nick's advice also, re the solvent to cover the patches, depends on time though, as solvent takes longer to dry than emulsion, but its a good tried and tested method also:D .

    i use a product made by zamix - i think they are usa based , but their primers seem to dry v quickly - less than 1/2 hr

    TBH I'd get a plasterer in, esp. if you need a surface that will take paint without showing uneven finish. Messing about with polyfilla and sanding down isn't worth the agro.
