Nail heads in plasterboard should be knocked below the surface level and covered with an oil-based paint to prevent rusting. Apply the plaster skim to the surface using a large brush, trowel or other suitable spreader. After the initial setting the surface can be smoothed over using a wet trowel. Alternatively, the surface can be allowed to dry thoroughly and smoothed down using fine sandpaper. When the surface is dry, it can be painted or wallpapered over. Surfaces should be sealed with a plaster sealer or sealer/PVA mix before wallpapering.
