Interior Bay Window Trim Advice

[Rory Wilson]

Hi,

I’m plastering a room for a friend who’s DIY plasterboarded the room himself. Where the plasterboard meets the window looks horrible, but even with a clean board edge I’d need to trim the board with something before the plaster meets the PVC window right? Can anyone recommend how to get a nice line/trim down the side of this?

I’ve only been plastering for half a year myself which is why I’m looking for advice, many thanks

Put a bit of drywall in the cap . Scrim it and skim away. If not buy a skim stop bead and butt that up to the reveal

Can I come watch you lay on one day or try and have a race I got a feeling you would have the room on the time I’ve picked my trowel up.
