    Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but I have plasterboarded a room ready to skim and a board needed to be removed to do a cable run that got forgotten then refixed. In doing so the board was re fitted with drywall screws but in new areas to get a better fixing leaving lots of old screw holes. Should these be bonded, filled, scrimed or simply just left and the skim coat will fill them?

    They'll get filled with the skim plaster.

    If the holes are a bit large you could put scrim tape over them first.
