Hardwalling a front rolm

[Chris ritchie]

So I've got a frontroom ive got to take back to brickwork float in hardwall and reskim whole room but I'm doing it over a couple off weekend , question is my mate thinks I can do the ceiling before hardwalling the walls surely I will get a crack around the internal as there is no coving going up

 

[ChrispyUK]

Crack on

 

[Stewart-page]

You could scrim the edges before you skim the ceiling
Just an idea

Next question will be are you a plasterer.

Float and set without experience done over couple weekends sounds like a recipe for disaster.

He won't be if he leaves that hardwall on for a week and doesn't skim it . Lol

First weekend, knock off old back to brick work, clean up...
Second weekend float and set...no problem

You honestly think a bit of flimsy scrim will stop it cracking???

 

[smoother09]

What's a rolm is that the place they were taking ring to in lord of rings?

 

[smoother09]

Also your a proper spaka for asking this question you have failed as a human being!

Of course scrim would stop it cracking hense why you put it on board joints and internals

Yea ok!! Scrim stops movement does it?

scrim joints in plasterboard to stop the plaster from falling out of the joint. grasshopper.

 

[BryanJ]

Hope they use scrim on the wall, it stops cracks?

My customer has a nasty 4inch crack that needs filling, I said Monday, I'll dub it out in the morning, then fill it up flush in the afternoon.
