Apply First Skim Coat Layer

What happens here

Apply the first coat of the mixed skim coat material to the wall. Use a paint roller with an extension pole to roll a thin, even layer onto the surface. Immediately after rolling a section, use a trowel or a large squeegee-like tool to smooth out the applied material. Press firmly to ensure the material is worked into the existing texture, filling in irregularities, and removing any excess. This initial layer is crucial for establishing the base of your smooth finish.
