Hi, a new member looking for advice....I plan to skim a hallway ceiling, around 3sq meters, no great problem. The ceiling continues up above the stairs for about 1 metre and where it trasitions from hall to stairs is a curved surface.

The house is 1969 with original plasterboard and artex. The original curve is pretty neat but it’s been bashed and chipped over the years.
Advice please:
Follow the original curve, ‘by hand’?
Put a metal bead along the curve?
Any other tips or solutions?
Any ideas will be gratefully received.

that looks like paper to me sir
 
Yeah nearly always...I always overboard cos you can Nearly always see the tape giving and I don't want to feck around with it
 
Thanks I will prob use that. I guess I will chop out some of the old to fit the mesh/bead into place. Seems like a plan, very grateful.
Not really, the mesh beads have flex so you can squish them in a little (but not too much or the edges will just curl up) or go with the stop bead as lodan said. You’ll be reet either way
