To bead or not to bead, that is the quest

[Shrek]

Hi all. I’m boarding/framing around my Velux and getting it ready for the plasterer to come and skim later.
Should I be placing a thin coat stop bead against the actual window frame opposite the angle beads or is it not necessary? Thanks.

I think he is , or is the builder , screw looks driven too far , questionable tape application

 

[Djr]

Wont do any harm but I never do

 

[martinemj]

It's Not necessary...
plasterer should be able to make good

 

[Deleted member 32554]

The advantage of not putting them on is that if the profile reveals of the velux aren't parallel these can be straightened by the spread , he can bed in stop ends to sort this
You are unwise to fit beads , the plasterer may not be pleased at your efforts to save just a few quid

Bits of scrim lifting by the bead - cut it off or push it down or it will ping through the finish. What the white gunk on the bead - decorators caulk?

why would you want to learn

I thought it would help the plasterer to have them in place ready for skimming but if it’s sh1te then fair enough. Ps I’m not ‘the’ builder I’m doing the best I can out of necessity to keep costs down. Wouldn’t dream of trying to skim it though you guys make it look easy but it’s not!

I get that all the time with customers wanting me to patch up holes thinking it's easier....f**k off. By the time I've looked for every ding and pinhole and filled them twice and sanded, could have skimmed it and the job be perfect
