ᐅ Question about the Q3 Skim Coat Finish

Hello everyone,

Our timber frame house interior was finished with Fermacell boards attached to the installation layer using staples. After the joint filling (Q3 level), these staples can still clearly be felt as indentations when running your hand over the surface and, of course, are also visible as small slits. Now there is uncertainty about whether this corresponds to the definition of a Q3 joint filling, and we also worry that these marks will remain visible afterward. The company applying the wallpaper has withdrawn and insists that at Q3 everything - including the staples - must be completely smooth. The joint filler disagrees. We would appreciate clear statements or helpful links on this. Thanks in advance!

If Q2 is done well, that is usually sufficient, but for Q3 there should actually be a flat surface without any "dents."

You can either come to an agreement with the plasterer, or with the construction company if they are the contract partner, or you will need an expert.
