I wouldn't say there are any particular expectations on what I produce - I don't exactly have a client on this one. I'm just interested in seeing what is possible.
Yea I wonder if the scrim has more give for movement.
What about scrim on the bare joints and then paper tape over joint compound. Anyone ever used both at the same time?
Like the sound of this yea thanks, so would bed the rendermesh into plasterboard, laying over the tapered edges (which have scrim underneath rendermesh)? Just trying to get my head around it
Will using reinforced corner paper tape (with the metal strips) strengthen a normal tapered joint?
The movable wall I am plastering is also curved, therefore a lot of opportunity for movement in the joints - so I’m trying to find a way of strengthening the plasterboard joints to avoid...
What's the wind up? I'm trying to teach myself how to plaster and yesterday was the first time I did a room bigger than my studio in the picture, I messed up the timings
Because of time constraints I didn’t manage to complete a job to the finished standard I wanted. I did get to flatten everything, but just couldn’t get round to polishing.
Is it possible to skim over the plastered walls again, and if so how long should I wait before doing so?
Also, what...
At first it was a disaster. Couldn't control the spread at all and it was going everywhere. But then I managed to control it enough to cover the wall. Even mixing the plaster was a nightmare. Trying to figure out the right consistency and how to control it on the hawk.
I was quite surprised how...
Should one stroke do half a stretch of the wall (in the case of my wall in the pic)? I did the top half left to right and then bottom half left to right.
Yea I should do that thanks for the advice. Do you know if I'm able to plaster over the same wall if I paint? I'm going to run out of walls soon enough.
