Is this the restoration MOP you are using? Did you add any lime or water to your pre mix gallons? What if I wanted to put a textured finish over painted drywall? Like a knockdown finish on walls? I usually put some Silica sand in to the mix to get that hard and dimensional look. Have tried it with drywall compound and it does not give you that hard dimensional look. I am not a plasterer but have had new houses plastered in the 70's. To get around high price of plastering I have to use this over drywall to get same finish look. Can you mix lime to get the same product finish in any way?

If you ever do it again try a HAWK...

KnightRiderShop funny you should say that. Learned how to use a hawk shortly after this video and don’t see how I ever worked without one. Had to get over the mental block that the plaster won’t go sliding off as long as you’re working at a decent speed to lift the plaster off the hawk with the trowel. My preference is a 14” hawk and 11” trowel.

Did you wet the background before application of the finish coat ?

Jimmy Gentle Yes, I always spray down any surface that’s going pull water out of the plaster to avoid suction and premature cure. If it’s a painted surface you’re skimming over it’s not as necessary but definitely over plaster or drywall paper.
