Awryt guys, anybody any tips on plastering a ceilin thats been sheeted with plasterboard if theres no covin goin back up. Where the edge of the new ceilin meets the top of the wall. Most of the time ive been able to talk the customer into covin but not this time. They dnt want covin back up. In the past ive used a thin mix of joint cement and rolled into the edge with a small corner roller and used paper tape and coated it out. Any quicker tips? Cheers. ;)
 
Scrim tape the corner and plaster the ceiling and wall as low as you need to cover old coving damage, run a corner trowel and blend the skim into existing wall. You can always run your joint cement over the blend if it dont come out too well.
 
Aye stuart was goin to mix up some bondin to fill gaps in so its tight to the wall. The boards run off in a few places. Theres a few bits where covin has damaged. @Priceplastering Am thinkin same as you maybe just need to skim along top of the wall. Would have been ideal to throw some covin up. Customers for none of it lol

Let them decide , if the walls damaged either patch it orrrr you get more work skimming all the walls ..... Which equals more money .....
 
Easy, scrim tape and skim, and decoraters caulk the edges, then you will not get any cracks.
 
@ ctplastering - Gave them a price for a reskim but no joy lol. They had their livin room skimmed last year and just want ceilin done and where covin was. Looks like itl just be bondin coat the rough and blend in with multi.
