    Archway prepped for plaster, but I didn’t use corner bead.

    It does as a last resort mate. Can be a right nightmare and a mixture of staples nails and adhesives! Can be a right ballache ...Plastic flexi beads are much better. The time you spend mucking about with stop Bead you might aswell hop in the van and go to a merchants for the flexi

    Plastering over Artex

    Evostick or uni bond pva. Diluted down. 2 coats of multi over the top.. (add a few handfuls of bonding to 1st coat if the pattern is deep). Multi finish is fine.
