Hello everyone!
The interior of our house was plastered in Q3 quality—apparently quite decent (according to our building consultant). The walls appear very even, although the texture varies slightly in some areas. There are spots where the solid components (aggregate – fine sand?) of the plaster are visible on the surface, and other areas that look completely smooth—these smooth areas are slightly recessed (shrunk a little during drying due to lack of aggregate). But only minimally.
Now to my questions:
Is there a filler or putty that has this slight texture, which we could use to cover the “too smooth” spots? I’ve only found fillers that aim to make the surface very smooth—but that’s not what we want.
Should the primer be applied after filling, or possibly before?
We don’t want to fill and sand everything—we actually prefer not to have a perfectly smooth surface.
Thank you very much in advance!!!
