hi,fellas,i have a job overboarding a lath n plaster ceiling & it's barrelled. i've never done 1 before. how do you create the curve? any tips or advice will be well appreciated!!!!!!!!!
 
Lean the boards against a wall at a 45 degree angle for about a week and they will bend themselves.

Wont end up the exact shape but it helps.

We had to do a curved wall once and did this.

The other way is score the back of the board every 3 to 4 inches but you need ten billion screws.

Board the flat area of the ceiling, then board the falt area of the angle then fix a piece of board about 2-3 inches inbetween, like this:

Just hold an offcut of board on the flat area of the ceiling then push it towards the curve once it lifts & a gap appears behind back of board move it back slightly so it's flat again then mark the ceiling, fix boards from this line work backwards from curve make sure everything is in line & square.
Then do the same on the angle find the flat bit & board it then fill any bits left with board.
You can also cut the back of the board just to lip onto the curve but it doesn't always work out square.
If you want you can float it out a bit before you skim but if your boarding is done properly i just skim it ;)


Here's a pic of one i did last week on a fire damaged 5hithole ;D
I didn't start a full board from the line like i explained above, but you'll see what i mean ;)

multi board. then tape it and give a tight coat of bonding using a large spat to smoooth of . gives you a real nice curv. plus it will skim nicer with having suction on the bonding

use 9.5mm board wet the boars with splash brush wet both sides then start screwing it up keep weting it let is pick up the water first

I know that's not a barrel ceiling render ;)
I just thought that's what he meant,
seen as your more likely to come across these ceilings when overboarding lath & plaster in older houses.

You know what it's like on here some people call lath & plaster wattle & daub & some people call a slight curve a barrel ceiling. ;D ;D

Maybe my mistake then, let's ask him what he meant, Ballsdeep?? ;D
