Hi Are you sure its dry and just fat layers???? i left the windows open all weekend and it doesnt seem to change colour, looks the same!

if it doesn't change colour with the windows open, that is the test. If the patches change, it is wet.

Just wanted to let everyone know i just painted the walls and ceiling and it seems fine, there where a few spots where the paint just peeled off (checked on google they said its just pva glue or something like that) did a mist coat it seems to be fine.

Going to get a spray gun for the final coat/s but i do have one last question should i sandpaper the wall/s at the end to get that ultra smooth feel or will the spray gun do the job ok???????

I Only ask because i just sandpaper the walls and they are like glass sooooooo smooth!!!

if their like glass then you had a good plasterer and yes it is just "fat" as in where water was thrown at it to be nice and glass like troweld up finished . so noooooooo to sanding
