Hi Guys
i have decided to do some DIY on my home, as my house is a 1930's end terraced you probably can imagine the amount of movement over the years which has lead to quite a few cracks on the walls and ceiling.
So i decided to start patching them up, I have made the cracks bigger then used scrim tape and plaster to cover the cracks,not used scrim tape on all cracks mainly high traffic areas like above and around doors etc.
Now i need a little help on making the corners look tidy and straight,both internally and externally ,can i used scrim tape on the corners? or would it be better for me to peel away the plaster and expose the bead and then plaster over it again?
Like i have said i have only been doing this DIY stuff for about 2weeks tops,( i do enjoy it btw) so feel free to tell me off if i am doing things wrong.
cheers
