cheers jetman great site thanks lokin at them beads looks like 2 bellcast back to back suppose it could be done with thees aswell

If it's in sand n cement then i would lath it out , and fill out to depth of laths (roofing lath 35mm) if using mono then i would of hand cut , or you have the option of using beads but you still got to fix em etc, don't know about the easy bead never used em , should imagine they aint cheap.
if it was me mate i would lath out to be honest , but if you have some good help you could free hand as pwi said
but that's just my opinion
Any one used the easi bead?

how do you mean lathe out warrior?

 

[pwi]

It means nail a piece of timber round the outside of the band I like to use smooth timber and work to it when its set remove and heh presto

See there is another language barrier we call em roofing battons not laths.
