Bull nose corners

[carlmanalishi]

Morning all got a job coming up next week and (sigh!) Every corner is a bloody bullnose and she wants them keeping but all walls re skimming. I usually use the plastic lining inside a multi Finnish bag and wet it up to round off the corners re skimming bullnoses and works a treat . I have only really done about 3 jobs with these corners so was wondering does anyone out there have any tips or tricks for this.

I remember when I started off as a plasterers labourer they guy I was working with had a bullnose corner trowel but I have never seen the likes of one since .

Cheers fellas

If the corners good just feather in a few inches before the corner

That's what I was thinking to be honest done that before but with this one 3 out of the 12 have more cracks than an Amsterdam brothel !

Other than that I've always just done them with my trowel they've always come out ok

You can still get bullnose corner trowels

I got one of these. I bought it especially to do my own extension and it worked really well on both boardwork and Hardwall.

I just re skimmed one with loads in when I come to the corners I switched to a smaller flexible trowel if you take your time just trowel it round then run a plastic bag up them when troweling up

I personally don't do this but if he can't do them this would look fine when painted if he's any good at feathering in
