Never done it but i thought you fixed battens the required distance from the corner and then made a template to the required radius notched out to run up the battens. Chriss did you realy say you used bonding in a swimming pool.

noooo you berk! i said, i'd use bonding... i 'would' use bonding... for this job...
swimming pool i used rapid hardner in render to base the corners out then used the lip of a builders bucket to form the curve..
just happened to be exactly the same radius as the clippy edge bead they had round the top 8) couple of screeds, one either side and ran off them...
think del and co with the coving etc is a nice idea but it'll depends on how flat the wall needs to be... gonna be looking at 10mm of skim or a coat of bonding all over first to get it level to the edge... bit of work...
could always stanley the sides of the coving and hack out the existing plaster a bit to bury it in i suppose?
dinner plates come in all sorts of radii.. theres another idea, rounded edges and angled too....even get plastic ones :P
 
heres an idea, what if you stuck coving to the corners of the room and then bonded the walls out to meet the edge of the coving, feathered the skim into the coving and you will have all the corners the same.
 
i think i would go down the road of coving then bonding over the coving, then using a cd or lp to achive the right size curve... the only thing i cant get my head round is how u'll do the curve were the ceiling corner meets the corner of the wall?... i wouldnt mind seeing some photo's if u ever do the job
 
seems expensive and time consuming using coving, a bag af bonding would do it you are only getting rid of the internal square angle i would go with the CD idea.
 
how about getting a ball float off a ball valve? (cistern/header tank) covering it with wba letting it dry and using it to scrunch the 3 way corners in?

i should have been on blue peter me ;D

im guessing that is a film studio then?...
oasis room is only 3x3.. it'll be like the inside of a ping pong ball time he's finished ;D
 
oo! oo! oo! oo!
ive had another idea!
COVING!
BUT!
use 4" cove just to base it out... (gotta be cheaper than bonding)
then run bonding over the top of the lot with the funky cd/lp/dinnerplate/whatever to blend it in..
covings about 20 quid for 15m linear run...
dont think 2 or even 3 bags of bonding would do that much...
youd all be f'cked without me...
f'cked i tell ya!

maybe oasis's plastering will be on the big screen 1 day...... ha

thats what dust sheets are for ;D
 
Sure i've seen preformed plasterboard curves somewhere...anyway my suggestion get some plaster board wet the underside bend and hold in position until dry with clamps etc then you have ure curve whack it up with board adhesive, bond out edges and skim.

If its not to shallow a curve I think Chris has the best idea save loads of time!

You may find wickes one coat plaster is better then bonding can go really thick before sagging.
 
wow loads of replys! i still feel that i might just use bonding.. rather than dab on coving when a nice thick bonding bed and use a CD or bucket.. he just wants rid of the straights lines! I'm only giving him a day on this so ill bond it up and skim later on. also its only 3 sides of the room so he will mostly use the corner.
 
further on from the 'use coving to base out with' idea...
strips of plasterboard would do the same job at a tenth the price and stop the bonding slumping..
im off to get a life now.. :P
 
Chriss it could have meant i have thats why i asked, and trust me i am nor a berk.
Lucius
 
you could bond out to running rules where youre curves start then run in the curves with casting plaster and on the vertical internal curves use a hinged running mould take down rules and set to the edges created
 
thank fcuk for that then ;D

its just that this little sentence does actually look like you were referring to yourself and not to me by not enclosing the "i have" bit in quotation marks like I have done here ;D
