    Is it easy to skim walls for someone who has never done it before?

    It's possible to skim small areas quite easily as a DIYer, using off the shelf products. Whole walls are best left to the experts.

    Is it easy to do? Yes

    Is it easy to do well? Absolutely not.
    Getting it flat with consistent thickness and no tool marks is very hard.

    Plasterings no crack. Excuse the pun.

    We plastered both sides of a 2.6m partition wall that needed to be rebuilt. My partner did most of it. It came out great. Not 100% perfect but looks better than any other wall in the house. The trick for us was sanding off any small bumps/marks. Very messy job though. Plaster dust is awful
