Advice on laying on and trowel up

[smoothy]

Hi guys

Could one of you please give me some advice on how to tackle awkward area`s when laying on plaster. Here is an example of what I mean............. all the green highlighted area was what I recently had to plaster in a friends kitchen. My biggest problem was that the builder being an awkward tw@t went ahead and fitted the cupboards just before I arrived to skim the wall ! Anyway after covering everything up I started to lay on (top left corner being left handed) the area above the and between the cupboards was a nightmare. What would be the best way to lay on in area`s like these, how would you tackle this ?:RpS_crying:

if your left handed you should start at top right corner

 

[lucius]

Which is correct, personaly i would have walked.

Hi guys just read what I typed :huh:.....typing error. I do start up in the top right corner (being left handed). my biggest problem was that ive been told that you should never lay on plaster sweeping across the wall, you should always lay on going up the wall. But in this instance it wasn't possible to do that.
And when I came to troweling up the wall i was left with i lot of fat marks ! which really pissed me off. I think it was because i layed on horizontal and trowel`d up vertical.:RpS_scared:

 

[martinemj]

i would of asked for the cupboards to be removed

if not

bye bye ..........:RpS_unsure:

As above, unless it was a C & N kitchen, then I wudda dropped it myself and then skimmed up:RpS_thumbup:




...........or got the midget trowel out.

Lol I haven't hit a nerve have I ? I'm merely commenting on what you've said?.....so you know sponges are for amateurs and if you float and set a wall you're rough because it should be plumb and dot yet one doesn't know where to start in which part of the wall? Is one lost and looking for the how to stack shelves forum?

SPUNK BUBBLE SPUNKY!
ARE YOU ACTUALLY QUALIFIED???.....Where have you got the float and set is rough s**t from mate?......If I remember I said that if you want a far flatter plumb wall when doing a backing coat , you can`t beat plumb and dot. But hey what do I know. lol. stick to growing your tomato`s mate.
