If you can feel the scrim tape get him back to sort it, he hasn't put the skim on thick enough, and to be honest i would be a bit cautious as to if he has put the 2 coats on. Did you see him do any of the work?
Thats just bloody shoddy workmanship and lazyness.

I totally agree with this post and again the new post at bottom of page from the plumber you said also.

lol this is an old thread, I was the one that said it

Wait till plaster goes off first, and if you still can see the material of the scrim, then knock up some filler, not the readymade stuff its a nightmare to sand down, spread the filler over where you can see the scrim, and feather the edges, meaning spread out the filler at the edges.
When dry, get an old worn piece of sandpaper and gently sand the filler, if you still see any of the scrim, do it again, but it should cover it in the first fill.

This ^^ also get some fine grade sand paper maybe start with rougher first until almost smooth with the plaster then use lighter grain sand paer to finish it nice an smooth an even.
