How would you do these curved corners?

[Hairybear]

I think I've attached a picture....crap as it is.

Anyway, got a room on with all sorts in it, along with a curved corner on the chimney breast..

Now, I've done free hand corners in the past, but always used an external angle trowel to shape or it's been a big enough radius to get on it with a trowel. This one has a radius similar to a coke can....I used to see my old man use a plastic bags on stuff like this?

My my plan is to skim up to the corner on both sides and leave a thick edge, wait for the gear to pick up a bit and then try to spread it around the corner with my sponge back plazzi?

What you's think? Do I need to get a plazzi bag out or are there other forces at work within the modern game?

just use your trowel

You mean there's no new toys I can buy......:RpS_crying:

Plastic trowel would finish it fine

 

[Hairybear]

Refina plazzi it is then....!

Use a bit of half round plastic guttering wet it down and when stuff picks up just go up n down it till it looks right have done this before on wide bullnoses :RpS_thumbsup:

Cut a strip off a rubble bag and run it up the corner

Thats an interesting technique, worth keeping a few inches in the van I suppose.

we have just recently bought some refina skimming spatulas and we had to do some corners like these the other week, they came up beautiful with the spatch, they are about £40 ish with the vat.

Before i had the spatch i favored the sponge over the plastic bag, i used to skim up to the corner from each side then as the plaster was just starting to take in i'd run a jumbo car sponge, (wet) up the corner, top to bottom, the sponge moulds to the shape and forms the rounded corner perfectly.
