  • In the bonding vs filler chat, that was one lesson I learned very quickly when labouring. I had to do a few chases and holes as the plasterers were often busy doing actual plastering.

    What @Airhead says about trying to get the bonding to be slightly lower/recessed is a really good tip. I did not know this initially. Trying to sand that stuff back is a bastard, hard as nails with more inclusions than filler. I imagine that this is what gives it the additional strength for filling the larger holes. Get it close with bonding plaster then finish with filler.

  • You can also get it reasonably flat with the surface of the wall, leave it to dry for about 30-60 minutes so it is like playdough and you can scrape it back a few mm really easily
