Hi Chaps,
Am new to the forum and new to plastering, however I can and do plaster to a pretty good standard for a non-pro. Anyway Ive been asked to look at a ceiling in a victorian house, although the original 2 rooms have been knocked through into one, the ceilings are obviously still separated by rsj etc.
In one half there is a bloody awful old ornamental coving, in the other half of the room there isnt. The punter wants to keep the coving in the first room and would just like the ceilling skimmed, but given the molding of the old coving i just cant get my head round how i could get a good finish up to it.
Customer will not take down/replace coving, so do i run a mile from it or do as best as I can in terms of troweling up to the coving profile.
Any ideas appreciated.
