I give up.
But God help you if your plasterer is in a union!
I don't need one. Having been down this road many times, trying different methods and options, trying the latest fad product that promises to fill in cracks and smooth out surfaces but ends out being just a thicker paint, having created a complete mess before and never being completely happy with the results, I learnt to skim plaster myself because it saves time and hassle. If it's one wall and not too bad, I might persevere with filling and sanding, but if its a whole room, I just skim it and have done with it.
