P&D is going to love all that fat on the woodwork... I've got some small finger trowels and various bits of plastic I've collected for those really annoying bit.

Best finish is to remove the architrave but that looks like 1930 stuff so its going to be very dry and brittle and a shite to find a match if you snap it. Best leave well alone.

I just use a midget trowel for small areas and a leaf trowel for tiny areas.

Do you always mask out skirtings etc?

to be fair i normally mask up this kind off woodwork but they did say that they are re painting it?

 

[rockhardsolidplastering]

take the arcs off carefully if they re getting p+d

sometimes mate its better to rind the plaster into the existing and leave the awkward bits they can end up looking worse ;D

 

[bodplasterer]

Put a bit of easy fill around it and sand it down get a better finish than trying to skim it
