My Walls need skimming BUT?

To be fair, what's your budget.. this will really determine your options?[FONT="][/FONT]0

It depends on how badly damaged the walls are but the best technique I have is to use easi fil (product name not poor spelling, lol) and a caulking paddle. The reason I prefer this option is that it does not need to go on absolutely perfect as you can easily sand it down afterwards (unlike plaster) to give you a smooth finish. My personal opinions of the ready mixed "miracle cures" is that they are over priced and from my own experience, I tend to find they dont flow as well as I'd like. A big bag of easi fil is about £10 for a 10kg sack.
HTHSome people don't exaggerate........... They just remember big!0 -
To have it reskimmed should only cost around £150 all in - Not that much money for a professional job surely.0
