Skim Coating questions
- When is skim coating better than new drywall?
- When the board is solid but the surface is rough, torn or patchy. If the board is soft, water-damaged or broken, it gets replaced instead.
- Does torn drywall paper need anything first?
- Yes. Torn paper is sealed with a primer made for it before skim coating, or it bubbles under the mud.
