Hi all, when I say newbie I mean new to this forum not new to plasterwork. Ive been at the plastering in all its forms for over 30 years. My question is about running a cement cornice on a parapet wall. I've just done one where the old stocks had pretty much dissolved with damp so had a brickie rebuild the parapet and corbel out two courses to run the cornice onto. All good but...
I've got a couple more similar jobs coming up and the parapet (with no cornice at present) is in good shape so rather than knocking it down and rebuilding it i wondered if anyone knew of brackets i could chem-fix onto the wall which i could attach SS lath onto? i was thinking of fixing rods into the brickwork and attaching ribbed lath along them to run over which would be quicker and less disruptive than bricking.
Any opinions on this would be very much appreciated.
Cheers.
