#SkimCoat #avoidtrowelmarks
In this video, I will show you how to apply a second coat without all the lines or lap marks.

I wish the lighting was better as you were showing critical technique. That part about priming before coating is a gem. Great content, subbed.

Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller tensions got nothing on Spencer Colgan’s priceless lessons! So true, water threshold and drying time nobody talks about. Thanks for sharing. 👊💪👍

Great video. Thanks a lot for sharing your priceless experience. You are a dedicated teacher that didn't miss out on any small tips. I really appreciate it.

Interesting. Timing is the key. Check out the refina superflex 2 finishing trowel. And ox speedskim. Will flatten the wall in 3 passes

So if I have a relatively good but lightly textured (from wear and tear) and painted wall, you would need to prime it with paint first (to avoid bubbles) and afterwards 1 skimcoat could achieve these results ?

why paper a wall before the skiming as been done, that just makes it harder, also why not use a skimming trowel.

[@spencercolgan]

Correct!! To please my son.

A skimming trowel would be great on a larger wall. But I’m in a tight space in this video. Better to use a smaller tool.
