re skim on arch

[ankers]

About to do a hallway reskim on one off the walls there is an arch window and it sits flush with the wall someone before has just skimmed up to it but looks a mess. Anyone have any ideas of getting a nice clean edge?

Plastic arch bead from b and q mate , like a normal bead one wing other one is cut so it goes round the bend on arch

Hard to say without pics. Maybe knock off around the window back to brick,float and set using a flexi bead?

I was thinking that but because the window sits flush so the beads lip will be in the way unless I try and cut it off

Ah right starting to see what you mean ....... I think . So how was the plaster originally plastered up to the window ?

If that is the case knock the reveal/head off and redo in Hardwall and multi with an arch bead.

You mean knock old plaster off, redo in hardwall and pack it out more so it forms a window reveal

The reveals and arch should we one. Put a picture up to see properly what's what. My minds eye might not see the same as what you are trying to describe.

Can you put a quirk in it or dive the last inch around at a 45° angle?
