Hey everyone,
I have an old fireplace here which I would like to chip back to the brick and sand and cement before skimming with multifinish. I've attached a picture below.
I plan to use steel angle beads for the corners - should these be placed when the scratch coat is still wet? Once the top layer of sand and cement is dry, could I then use mini mesh beads before applying multifinish?
What I'm struggling with is how to best gauge the depth once the bead is on. How do I make sure there is enough depth for the top coat and plaster?
Ideally, if it was considered ok to use multiple beads then this would make the process a lot easier for me!
Cheers,
Jimmy
