    Default uneven walls

    hey folks

    have a wall that dips in the middle (dodgy plasterer me thinks) when a spirit is put verticaly on wall there is about an area of 2 sq feet that dips in about 4/5 mm , question is can i fill this with extra adhesive , acting like a skim coat then tile over.
