Hi there,
I did a search but I cannot seem to find anyone who has asked this question. Pardons if it is plastered (no pun intended) all over the place.
I have drywall with what I think is called "knock down" texture all over the surface. I used joint compound on one room to smooth it over (fill in the gaps) and it looked quite good but it is very delicate. I can use my finger nail to damage the surface.
Now I want to do a similar thing in the kitchen, but obviously I would like it to be more resilient. Can anyone recommend the best way to smooth this surface? What materials to use if, in fact, skim coating is the way to go, and whether there are any good books that I should be referencing?
Thanks,
Ben
