When I went back last night to give it a second coat, areas were darker and patchy, especially where I'd used a brush to cut in. I gave it a second coat, this time using a mini roller to get as close as possible to the corners but some bits are still darker, the worst being the corner in the photo.

That photo was taken this morning, 13 hrs after the 2nd coat. Should I expect it to even out with more drying time or do I need to do something different?

The room is pretty cold at the moment because the radiator's off, if that has any bearing on drying times or anything

Will the radiator not being on ( as to being on and emitting heat) have any bearing on the drying time ??

I am neither a plasterer a painter or a builder so this is a rough guess........yes it will....

If you need any further advice please don't hesitate
