Hello everyone,
Our gypsum plaster (Q2 ready for wallpapering) on the ground floor is drying slowly. The screed will be installed soon, and the drywall installers will close off the walls on the upper floor in a few weeks. So, of course, we are now thinking about how to proceed with finishing the walls.
According to the plasterer, it is best to simply paint the walls, without putting up wallpaper. That suits our taste very well since we like the natural texture of the plaster.
The only concern is the delicate ceiling as well as the gypsum plasterboard (drywall) on the upper floor.
I’m great with a paintbrush, but just thinking about applying some kind of fleece is already giving me a headache.
While browsing in the hardware store, I came across this roll-on plaster from Kna.f.
Has anyone had experience with how this looks on walls? Could this be an alternative to using painter’s fleece on the gypsum plasterboard? We don’t want to create any texture, just a smooth surface that can be nicely painted. Or will there be movement cracks?

Summary:
After roughly sanding the fully plastered drywall in our storage room and then painting it, we continued in the other rooms accordingly and decided not to use fleece wallpaper. It is almost impossible to see any seams under grazing light. In the bedroom and bathroom, we sanded even more carefully and applied additional filler where needed. The walls and sloped ceilings look excellent in both grazing and normal light, so we chose to forgo fleece or similar materials.
On the ground floor, we have started filling small cracks and holes (by now we are quite experienced with it), so we will paint everything without using fleece — including the ceiling.
This saves us at least one week of work, material costs, and a tremendous amount of stress and marital conflicts.

Summary:
After roughly sanding and then painting the (fully) drywall-taped walls in our storage room, we continued similarly in the other rooms and decided to skip the fleece tape. You can hardly see any seams even in raking light. In the bedroom and bathroom, we sanded more carefully and applied additional joint compound where necessary. The walls and sloped ceilings look excellent both in raking and normal light, so we avoided using fleece tape or similar.
On the ground floor, we have started filling small cracks and holes (by now we’re focused on that), planning to paint everything without fleece tape – including the ceiling.
This saves us at least a week of work, material costs, and a huge amount of stress and marital conflicts Did you apply joint compound over the entire surface or only over the seams, and for Q3 did you feather the seams on both sides again? Did you apply multiple coats over the screw holes as well?
