Hi Spence and Brian hope your both ok.
I did my first ceiling the other week, it was 5.5m x 4m which is big for me and you didn’t tell me how hard it was to cover an artexed ceiling lol :). It was ok but I wasn’t pleased with the finish as I tried to do it all at once. I did one after that, it was a bit smaller but I think with my speed at the mo still a bit to big.
You once mentioned doing a big job in to so can you tell me how I do that? Would I do the amount of ceiling/wall that I know I can cover and cut back a line in the plaster or is there another way.
Look forward to hearing from you

when doing larger areas, work with what you can handle get it to the stage you are comfortable first wet, then do another mix and put on the remainder of the area that is left keeping the piecing down keep it as flat as possible get this to the same stage then trowel the complete area to a finish, i hope this is ok for you pete lad take care and keep in touch.:D
