Skim coating is a great way to make all the walls new again. Skim coat is a thin coat of joint compound also known as mud. You can do a skim coat to smooth out damaged walls with. You might need to skim coat if you’re repairing after wallpaper removal, after drywall repairs or ceiling repairs, or even if your walls are just doing the damage from every day where in tear from your family.

What is a skim coat?
A skim coat of joint compound is intended to conceal small imperfections in joints and on the surface of the gypsum board, smooth the texture of the paper, minimize
differences in surface porosity, and create a more uniform surface to which the final decoration can be applied.
A “skim coat” is essentially a “film” of joint compound and is not a readily measurable thickness. There is no specific mil thickness that constitutes a proper skim coat. A skim coat is
described in the foregoing text as being “trowel applied” with the intent being that the consistency (viscosity) of the joint compound be such that it can be applied by a trowel. Other tools may be used for application so long as the trowel consistency is achieved.
The objective of the application is to achieve total coverage of the entire surface with the skim coat. This is typicaly accomplished by delivering the compound to the surface and using a drywall broad knife to force the compound into the surface pores and imperfections while shearing off excess compound from the surface.

For Severe Lighting Condition:
Apply a skim coat joint compound to wall or ceiling surfaces that will be subjected to severe natural or artificial side-lighting. Apply a thin skim coat of joint compound or a material manufactured especially for this purpose to the entire surface of the board. Apply a high quality latex primer/sealer compatible with the finish product prior to decoration.
For Glossy Paint:s
Remove and repair all surface irregularities and sand or sponge the joint treatment surfaces as necessary. Apply a thin skim coat of joint compound or a material manufactured especially for this purpose to the entire surface of the board. This will minimize any suction, porosity, or other variations between the joint compound and the face paper surfaces. Take care to eliminate laps or tool marks during the skim coating operation. Lightly sand or sponge wall or ceiling surfaces wherever necessary to ensure a smooth and even surface. Apply a high quality latex primer/sealer compatible with the finish product prior to decoration.
