    Mix plaster to the correct consistency for the substrate

  3. 3

  4. 4

Skimming in Holton Hill FAQs

Yes. Plasterboard is designed to be skimmed, not painted directly. The skim coat seals the joints, hides fixing screws, and gives a uniform, smooth surface that paint or wallpaper needs to look right.
