Not bad for a Wednesday Norm. So you form a ‘vee’ and any crack that could form is in the valley so you don’t see it? Shadow gap so to speak
Not really a crack, you know the plaster will pull back a bit from the bead just leaves a small gap rather than a hairline crack from metal over wooden bead.
 
let me educate you boys if u plaster up to timber it will crack that's the reason for the v joint which by the way is formed by using the head of a 5inch oval nail so the crack is hidden and don't show
But if you scrim the joint it also eliminates the chance of cracking, the same as the joint between plasterboard.
 
Any body had come back from doing bottom meter in sand and cement in to plasterboard even after scrimming joint.
Also on wooden beads. I.ve never had comeback after scrimming bead but kid who's doing job with me next week says he has so wants to pull em of.
I had a wooden beads crack few years ago went back and sorted it. Since then I have always cut them out, stick metals beads on with bonding, let them set properly and fill them out.
 
PVA the bead first, bead on, scrim down both sides, bit of bonding on top of scrim then skim it. Never had a bead crack and I always say to the customer if it cracks let me know and I'll pop back and fix it.
