Skimming over small piece of timber

[cornsack]

Hi,

Starting a job soon for a new customer. One of the walls he wants me to skim is up to a doorway with no architraves and already fits flush/slightly proud of the frame. For some reason he thinks he would rather not have any architraves/mouldings around the frame if it can be helped. I told him it probably can't.

Just wondering, if I was to cover the frame edge with scrim and a thin stop bead, would the bead hold it strong enough to stop it all cracking and fulfil his fantasies. Or would the wood just kill it completely?

Thanks.

That looks like it will be a small return anyway?

I'd say no

Either slide a thin coat angle down casing
Or a stop bead they can paint casing
That sofa is awful lol

Tape ,thin coat stop bead and skim,should be ok aslong as you don't go onto the wood to much.maybe a sealer on the wood to try and stop any water ingress into the wood so it don't swell as much.

It will crack once the door gets slammed a few times

@superspread is right it will crack. Explain to the customer that they are a fucktard and to stop watching diy shows
