use stop end bead

 

[timmo72]

please explain ???? and does that mean u dont get a wider angle bead????

no, you can't buy angle bead greater than 90 degrees! if you're very careful you can bend it, but its very tricky to get right. the correct way to do it is to use stop end bead, you just fix it 3mm proud of your angle and skim to it as normal.

If its say 130 deg, i normally just splay out the angle bead and hold it in place with 40mm oval nails, put some spare multi on whilst skimming elsewhere, remove nails carefully, needs a fair amount laying on first coat, always turns out fine.

you can get stop beads 4 skimmin wickes sell em because they have only one side you can use em on different angles

ive had a go at widening the 90 degree beads b4 .didn,t do it to well so if i use a stop bead can i still skim both sides ????

 

[Pug]

yep! just gotta make sure its well fixed, i use gripfill.

if you get the mesh skim beads these flatten out sound, skim stop beads are sound but if it gets a knock it cracks quite easilly.
