Brian,


If the low area is still quite visible (greater than 3" radius is a good
rule of thumb to start with), with well defined stripes, I would suggest
continuing with the serrated trowel.  Typically, a flat trowel is only used
for the final skim coat.  You might want to try a finer toothed trowel, as
the depression is filled with succeeding coats, but the striping (or lack
thereof) is really what tells the tale.


Regards,


Jack

This is a very interesting technique Jack.  I am assuming that a flat trowel
is used on the second pass to fill the valleys?
