dashing

[S a plastering]

got a small extension to dash i normally do all wet angles but there is a window in it but the reveals are only about 20mm is it just a case of putting gear freehand on the reveal then dash never really dashed any reveals that shallow before thanx

what do you do with the wider ones mate?

 

[bodplasterer]

If they are only small reveals cant you just round them in?

ys i understand what your sayin i round em all the time but got to copy the rest of the house an they are not bullnosed so could look a bit odd also bullnosing such small reveals you could end up losing a lot of the frame to get the curve even with the arris knoked off the brick but i will have a word with her an go with you guys cos its right what your sayin cheers

if theres only 20mm ,stop bead around the windows then just flat render the reveals

 

[spunky]

if they were 4 foot wide what would you do with them ???

 

[essexandy]

Dash the face of the wall and then get your lab to gently hold a rule on the face giving you something to put on to and dash it while he's still holding the rule. Use as wide a rule as you can as this will spread the pressure thus not damaging the face. I haven't had to do this for ages but did it loads years with my old man.

 

[spunky]

i thought that was the only way to do it ???

 

[essexandy]

Me to Spunky but no one else had said it ???
