cornice repairs

[S a plastering]

got these fake wood beams to take out in new year its going to leave holes in cornice just wondering if bonding an skim will do to patch these in thanks

 

[mikeadams1985]

Yeah bonding and skim would. But if me I would use bonding to bulk out then casting plaster for the final. Be a lot quicker.

Cheers Mike would easi fill be any better mate leaving it proud then sanded back

Do you work the casting plaster like skim an keep smoothing it over never used it really

 

[S a plastering]

Casting set much faster than skim but it's nice to carve and use existing cornice as a guide. Do it in two parts If you have not come across to casting before. If it's not in your comfort zone, then use easi fill 20 and auto body applicator.

Cheers

Seems pretty simple the profile easy fill and sand.

There might be to much expansion on bonding - i would fill out with multi finish/board finish , topped of with casting plaster :RpS_thumbsup:

 

[puddove]

Bonding coat expansion ? Normally I scrap it back a bit - same method as patching in chases

yeah bonding expands ---- the casting plaster is also to strong to go over bonding and will shell off eventually

 

[puddove]

Strange as I always casting over bonding without any problems ?

short term its ok but over time it will shell off

So what's the best way to fill these friggin holes in getting confused now haha

Fill em with left over Chrimbo turkey !! Topped with cranberry and sand :RpS_thumbup:

 

[Marshy]

If you want to get paid tho ?? I'd fill out with bonding scrape back then only a couple of mm easy fill and sand. The fibrous lads are right regard using casting but if you have never used it before?? It will set on you before you get going and will pee you off big time plus it ain't easy to source or cheap to buy either

 

[Marshy]

Go for Marshy's suggestion

You mean the Chrimbo turkey one right?? :RpS_laugh:
