Old wooden corners.

[KRISW1888]

Went to price a job today and it has 3 wooden corners. Dont want to rip them out as I dnt want to bring half of the wall with it. Whats the best way to do these old wooden corners?

 

[jesssop]

Rip em out

 

[KRISW1888]

Will they not bring half of the wall down with it?

 

[jesssop]

leave it then

 

[jesssop]

but they will crack

 

[BobbyJack]

do you mean the wooden dowel that rounded off two adjacent surfaces.

 

[KRISW1888]

Its a curved wooden bead thats imbedded into the old plastered wall m8... The fireplace wall comes out and on both ends it has 2 horrible rounded corners.

Sounds like the wooden bulenose corners if u dont like them remove them and replace them with beads patch each side make good.

Not at all m8 run a stanley knife down each side a few times remove them put beads on patch each side make good with existing.

bead it and put scrim down both sides of bead,it won't crack.

Thanks for the replys looks as if ill be rippin them out.

Last ones I covered did crack so either remove or use scrim as suggested....

I'd rip wooden dowels out, then hard corner with s&c by using straight edge and two floats then put thin coat beads on

why use sand +cement ?
use bonding and skim same day , use sand +cement and wait a day or two at least for cement to cure !
wrong answer Ryan for quick turn around

 

[KRISW1888]

So easiest and safest way is to rip them out, patch them up with bonding coat, get bead on and then skim?

Yes

Hardwall rather than Bonding onto old brickwork :RpS_thumbup:

PMSL you losing the will to live mate. :RpS_thumbsup:

 

[PlasterCraftDundee]

or you can put a relief margin up both sides of the bead the way it was originally done. up to the customer what they prefer, keep old character of the house or nice new sharp corners

U just said sand cement , aye take them out fill out the angle with bonding then skim , sand cement there would not be a good idea at all really ?

 

[bubbles65]

use PVA over brickwork then bonding before and no cracks... As I always have bag of bonding sitting in my van.

Or just use Hardwall without messing about with PVA :RpS_thumbup:

[boardfinished]

To much of a hit or miss imo....sometimes theyve cracked out, sometimes not?
So if the custy wants a square corner, explain and price accordingly:RpS_thumbup: its not gonna cost hundreds more, save the sore head of a call back

 

[mikeadams1985]

Keep them. .....

you mean hardwall is for high suction backgrounds and bonding is for low suction....lol
