Hello everyone
In my new build, the interior walls were plastered with gypsum. At first glance, the surface looks pretty good.
Since I hardly want to use wallpaper and prefer to paint, some additional work is needed.
Now I wonder whether it is necessary to apply another 2-3 mm (0.08-0.12 inch) of filler or if there is another option, since the wall is already very smooth from the start.
Is there a type of filler suitable for painting or something similar?
Regards
Rico

Here we also have Q2 level, with larger uneven spots filled and sanded over 1-2 days, then primed and painted white. So far, everything is going great. There are 1-2 settlement cracks, which will be filled and repainted at some point, and then everything will be perfect again. We didn’t want to use wallpaper because our cats tend to damage it.
