![]() Then go back and sort the smaller bits that are sticking out. Once the entire wall is coated, this should take no more than 20 minutes for a first timer, check for any big bits sticking out and, using your trowel, squash them into the plaster using the same sweeping motion as before. Don't worry about getting it perfectly flat, you'll be able to sort that out after the entire wall is coated. ![]() Once done, repeat for the whole wall, really get a move on though. Then use your trowel to even it out a bit. This should spread the plaster along the plasterboard, albeit fairly unevenly at his point. Then, whist applying a bit of pressure, sweep the trowel in the direction you want to plaster. Keeping the trowel held upwards (flat face facing up), meet the trowel edge with the plasterboard and start to turn the trowel into the plasterboard, so that it begins to squeeze the plaster between the trowel and the plasterboard. Ok great, we now have a dollop on the flat face of your trowel, which you should be holding upwards. Go over to your wall and tip the Hawk slightly, whilst meeting it with the flat face of your trowel, hook the trowel under the dollop whilst symultaneously tipping your hawk, so it kind of tips onto your trowel. Start off by scraping a dollop of plaster onto your Hawk, not too much for your first attempt, you want to get the feel of it for now and the amount you put on will increase as your confidence grows. ![]()
