Iv'e done a good few of these just lately, usually liverpool/chester area, I've jus been putting on with mt + flattening them with plazzi + troweling with s*p*r*lex, awkward in the corners tho! Also had to do one from scratch which was a ball ache!!

The one I had about a month ago there was no chance of getting a trowel in there for love or money....
Sweat dripping of me trying to keep on top of it...
Sponge in a sandwich bag got me out of that one but will Defford look into other ways lol

plazzi trowel from p1ss is great for them. sponge into the internals with a dry jumbo sponge, no ridges, nice and flat. trowel up with the nela flexi and small venetian in the internals. the internals will look w4nk unless you get them smooth first off

Wonder if the plasterers in the 20s/30s used a plazzi or a sponge in a freezer bag or a bat knife:RpS_sneaky:

probably not. they would have used something pertaining to that era. maybe a bit of hessian or a shagpile carpet wrapped in a safeway bag

This was a little awkward so used midget trowel and a spatula.

Refina plaziflex will sort out - just let it pull in a bit as they are great for curves

Not if the curve is too tight as I have one and couldn't get it near
