    I'd try a damp cloth to start with. Is it just a thin layer of overlap from an adjacent plastering job? Or a big dollop that's been dropped from a trowel or similar?

    Soak it with a wet cloth and rub at it.

    For stubborn blobs, still soak it, leave it for a few minutes, then use the flat side of a new stanley knife blade to get behind it.

    It's simples, wet it, leave it, and then scrub it off.

    There no issues here.
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
  • Always came off with a damp cloth for me when cleaning up after having our rooms skimmed.

    For muckier frames a bit of upvc cleaner can bring it up nice and shiny (I use the screwfix no nonsense stuff).
