So, I’m currently working on redoing my entire room. This is the first time I’ve ever done a project like this so it’s been a little rough but I’ve been pulling through. I wanted to know how to avoid getting these unfilled spots when i go over the plaster with a roller? I know I should be sanding but the thing is the texture of these walls was SO INSANELY awful (see last picture) and skim coating only took me so far. I’ve tried sanding as much as I can without an electric tool and I’m getting these spots, so I’m wondering what options I have besides going in with a brush and filling in each one individually. Pictures 2 and 3 are what the wall looks like after a few layers of skim coating (haven’t sanded those walls yet).
