Over skim

[carys]

Doing a over skim next week one wall. the wall perfect spark be ther so need to fill socket and one chase reveals are spot on. What I usually do when reveals are Ok just feather in to the bead How many of you would put new beads and re do reveals on over skim?

 

[Tinytom]

Definitely new beads and skim reveals.
It usually looks s**t once painted when you feather into existing
It would also depend on the caliber of the customer too

 

[Djr]

Yes me too re bead it

Depends if the last spread filled to the beads or scooped them. Re beading scooped beads skim goes on about 5mm, skim doesn’t like going on 2mm sometimes.

Takes no more time and a very small amount of extra work. No brainer to put beads up, and looks a much better job. only time I would skim to old bead is if their was a radiator under the window and the customer didn't want to take it off

Did you understand why in some cases the existing bead is scraped back ?

What if there's a cill on

My point was ,,,, check the bead with a straight edge against the wall , horizontally in the case of vertical bead , the wall might already curve in away from bead , if you stick another bead on top you could be making life difficult
