Got a ceiling to reskim.Has a tight cove that comes down wall about 4 inches then has a lip of about 15 mm to the wall.Can skim cove fine until it comes to the corners.NIGHTMARE.Any ideas what tools best for tight corners.Leaf and spade? Sponge?small trowel?.Been told to cut plastic lid to form shape and run it out of corners.Plus would you use a stop bead on bottom of cove for crisp finish.Brushed in on the old lip looks abit shitty to me.
