Hi guys,

Skimmed a wall yesterday but it was a rush job (anxious to get the bbq lit!) and it shows now it's dry. Bit patchy in places, just a few very shallow dents etc.

Not got the time to reskim completely, so going to fill with EasiFill. Do I need to pre-treat the bare plaster with PVA or anything before I use it, or can I just slap it straight on?

Also, does Easi-Fill need a miscoat before painting, or can I just roll straight over it without problems?

Easi-fill will go straight over with no problems.

It does need to have a mist coat.

I would still water down first coat so the filler can be sealed
