Hello everyone, currently the screed is in place and the building is dry.
Next, we would like to start the painting work. My question is: how “perfect” does a wall need to be for applying paintable fiberglass mesh (also known as painting fleece)?
The plasterer who did the interior plastering did a very good job, and I think the walls look very smooth—not exactly mirror-flat, and in some places slightly rough.
Can I start directly with the paintable fiberglass mesh, or do I need to sand everything again?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Marvin

If you use very heavy-duty painter’s fleece (at least 150g/m²), in my opinion, it can be applied directly. I sanded everything down back then, but it didn’t actually become much smoother.
If there is a dent or groove somewhere, just applying it over that is usually sufficient.
However, it really has to be thick and heavy. If you use painter’s fleece that is too thin, it tends to emphasize any unevenness even more.
