in bongland we replace carperts when we fix up our houses
capet goes anyway, no point wasting time to protect it
looks OK in pic OP, is it smooth and even is the main question

You're supposed to sand down the rough edges of the first coat and apply a 2nd. Only the best get it in one coat.

Looks fine, but you'll spot the imperfections once you paint it. Good job m8.

I was going to try and chisel the plaster off the carpet (no bonding on the carpet so should be easy) although I think the carpet is a write off now

I like how the plaster seals over the ugly gap in the switch plate.

If that's the top coat you should have polished it.

You don't sand brown plaster you muppet.
