I'm in the middle of reskimming an entire house for a client who has stripped all the anaglypta from every room (yes even the ceilings!)
The walls, reveals etc no problem at all and finished lovely (although had to work furious because the glorious weather last week giving me no time at all to breathe between coats!)
HOWEVER...every room has that old style of curved ceilings going to the walls and I can't figure out what to do about it tbh. If you look at the pictures you will see what I mean...you'll also see that the previous spread has avoided the problem by feathering the skim up to the radius (not a problem at the time as the house got covered head to toe in wallpaper) Customer wants a nice crisp paint job now though and the anaglypta has left a bumpy surface (especially on the curved coving areas) which needs skimming.
Thought about trying a taping knife but not sure.
All the walls are done now (have done it back to front and left ceilings till last on this job)
Any advice again much appreciated!
