English term or phrase: double back
On a gypsum plaster finish, what does the term “double back” mean?

Double back or double up means that a second coat is applied immediately over the first coat to build up a straight surface and to cover irregularities.

Tengo la explicación, pero no puedo dar con el término exacto.
