Hi
I have a little project coming up which suprise, suprise involves a little plastering.
The area is only small. I've just knocked out our fireplace and now need to board around the hole and plaster it. I'm just thinking about the internal corners. What options do I have? I've seen drywall tapes and scrims. Are they different in some way. If so, what are their different procedures for fitting?
I hope there is enough info there.
Thanks

I dont think I would use plasterboard on that.
I would most likely get render beads and set them up and float out the patch then skim the whole chimney breast
