Greetings. My first post.
I have recently done a plastering course after wanting to learn for a few years now.
After the course I plastered my box room to a decent standard. I pulled the old lath and plaster ceiling down. Boarded up and skimmed the whole room.
I am now tackling my living room ceiling which is too big to do at once with my current standard. I am simply not fast enough and I am still a rookie.
I remember on course we learnt the scrim tape method of dividing a wall/ceiling. I remember we plastered slightly over the scrim tape section then peeled it back. Perfect for dividing the wall. I can't however for the life of me remember the next step. How do you merge the next section to the last.
I am taught to use multi finish plaster. Applying one rough coat then a second coat. Peel the scrim tape back then there is a nice straight edge.
Thank you in advance for your help.
