[GDS]

this may of been coverd before but my client wants a curved corner where the celling meets the wall :

do i overboard and use bonding to create the curve or is there anotherway an how do i get perfect rounded curves that match ?

p.s the celling dose need overboarding its fooked

thanks lads

creating a plastered cove isnt easy and if u dont know where to start then i wouls suggest not taking the job on

Its not to bad a job.

Use bonding but build the curve up in keyed layers and use a pointed rule to edge it right. I usually ping a chalk line about 6 inchs down the wall then 6 inchs on the ceiling and use that as my guide.

Take your time
dont lay up to much bonding else you'll struggle and it'll look shite.
Take the job on its a good experience for you

I always score the back of the board several times and break it but dont cut it. I find that this helps to build the curve out without using any material, I then just fill in with board finish.
