Use 2/1 battens or metal stud (light ) to create the form work for the shape, put see through plastic on it ,fix the EMl tightly,no sagging areas , appply a coat of bonding (bonding 60 is great ) when it pulls in apply another coat of bonding ,create the curves to be easy to follow ,nice sweeps , when it pulls in,skim it , use plastic for the sharp bits as a smoothing tool, the s*p*r*lex are good for finishing

I've done a few but not as big as that, has anyone mentioned about putting little washers over the screws when fixing the eml? I find that helpful when I do them and flexi or plazzi trowel

done loads years ago....bovis homes i think it was for.
skim the house then leave winders till the end.....for £150 mesh bond twice n skim :(.
the f**k**g mess of the skimmed staircase walls :rayos:...
ahhhh your only young once !!!!
 
When I finished labouring and broke free, I worked for a company in Essex (Toveglen I think they were called). My first job was doing stair winders for them - they paid £80 per winder, my first one took me two days (not bad, that was £8 a day more than labouring). I remember trying too hammer nails through the eml and then vibrating on the battens....what a clown I was!
