A skim coat isdescribed in the foregoing text as being “trowel applied“ withthe intent being that the consistency (viscosity) of the jointco

7、mpound be such that it can be applied by a trowel. Othertools may be used for application so long as the trowelconsistencyisachieved.The objective of the application is to achieve total cover-age of the entire surface with the skim coat. This is typicallyaccomplished by delivering the compound to th
