I've just started using plastic beads on chimneys whe dashing becouse it less hastle. Background white anyway. But myself I prefer to go over bead and get a nice feather edge corner looks much better than the bead showing more proffesional. Does anybody else do this or should I stik to my old way edge on cornner

Understand but makes life easier on corners when I'm on my own. What I usually do is take scratch proud whith corners of beading and then dash over them so bead doesn't show. Do you think that a good idea.im not kean on beads showing through.

its your job Carys, you only have to please yourself and the customer sounds good to me though.
 
I always formed corners but when it got down to me and a lab I struggled to find a lab who could master holding and sliding off the stick so I started to use beads to make life easier and it was better when employing a dasher as most couldn’t form a corner.

Only had one customer who wanted formed corners, a retired joiner.

I only cover corners beads on chimney becouse I think it looks better. If doing completely new house I'd do it the old school way. For somereason I don't like beading showing on chimney

Do you think they be a problem covering bead on dash? . For some reason I don't like the bead showing on chimney
 
the only dashing we carry out now is thin coat systems, therefore plastic beads, often the same colour as the dashing mortar.

We're rained off today, so I get my jollies ripping other people on here don't I.
So yes I'm rained off today, as it's been raining all day you see.
 
White beads on white dash looks ok but I used to let a build up of gobbo go over the bead and usually used a 3-8mm dash. Rarely saw the bead.

That what I've done black white chimney whith white cement. Il piss off owl again Im not keen on beads showing through on chimney for some reason
 
We mostly expose the bead unless the client doesn't want it..most like it in my experience. Easy enough to cover it up well if you know what you're doing. Forming them is easy enough but far more time consuming and it wouldn't get us anymore work or appreciation so it's a no from me. I wouldn't say it looks unprofessional either way - I've seen both looking dog s**t and both looking neat depending on whos work it is.
