There is special bead for bands that you bed in and pluck out later.

 

[Gibbo]

or try easibead

 

[camnz]

sounds easy with the pluck out beads i can only get 15mm and 10mm beads both stops and corners thats all they bring over

If you form your bands first by hand apply em a bit wider than normal by about 50-100 mm let em pick up a bit then cut em back with a sharp trowel against a straight edge then machineapply the rest of the render, don't matter if yooverspray on 's, cos it comes off when you scrape the lot back, and you endp with a clear defined band and render
thats monolithic and bead free , and looks miles better

They do something similar on the st astier promo vid except its a plinth that's a different colour. Good idea round windows(until you paint that is and lose it all)

do you use a corner bead warrior or do you do the reveals free hand too?

Done it both ways, your choice , easier with a bead, unless your putting cuts in, then do it trad
