Wooden edge beads

[Cakebaron]

Any tips out there for wood edge beads instead of metal beads. Would be interested to hear best way to fix and choice of dowel. I'm new to this forum so go easy on me . . . it looks like it gets a bit lively at times!

any reason why u prefer wood over metal?? is it a period property or something and welcome bye the way........:RpS_thumbup:

 

[Cakebaron]

Yup, period property and thanks for the welcome

Fix them the way they should be fixed on bits of timber knocked into the joints in brickwork.

 

[Cakebaron]

Flynnyman, thanks for the reply. I guess it worked well for the last couple of hundred years. Any advice on choice of dowels?

 

[flynnyman]

Is there non to match in the rest of the property?
Maybe knock on next door or visit a similar property with a tape measure or if your lucky look for somewhere thats being ripped out and ask for them and remove them yourself.

I think they were called staff beads .

Do not forget to plane the back edge of them try a lime company something they would use.

yup staff beads we get them run like mouldings shapped like d 20 mill thick with a 9 mill straight bit for 9.5 mill plasterboard 2 sit onto then a nice skin then reveal.

why would anyone go to all the trouble of getting wooden beads to them go and plasterboard it? do you still get the nice V edge down both sides? after boarding it?

I dont know why you would use the on board but on render and set i would imagine it would have to be properly seasoned timber or it would be prone to movement if it isnt as it dries out.

yup just reval with a bead scratch or nail then slide the trowel up and down looks nice and wont crack because uv revealed it

The bead itself is called a staff bead,the V groove is called a quirk....as for attaching,the old way was to take a piece of timber slightly thicker then the brick joints,this was with your lathing hammer "axed" to a "propeller" shape.....and then pounded into the brick joint,the shape would twist as it was driven in and pretty well never come out....these were then cut off plumb,and the bead attached to these plugs.

Scratch and brown upto this bead and then "quirk" the bead (v groove) wider then the actual finished product,then skim into the bead filling the quirk,just prior to final set ,the quirk is cut out again (we used a small tool and feather edge) hold feather edge plumb to bead and cut out the skimming.....some areas referred to it as a "birds beak"

I think you're talking about beaver pellets. I get all mine from Beapel.com they are the cheapest and they know all about beav.

Best way to fix em?.... well may I suggest hammering them into your anus with a rubber mallett.... dont wanna damage those costly pellets now!
