When I over skim I think it a better job to fix new beads. But sometimes Il chip the corner and feather in. But in this case I can't I can't be bothered to chip skim off becouse ther no angle beads on corners. Other side wall huge and it perfect but they have done a s**t job on reveal for some reason! I've never used stop end beads in this situation before don't think I've got much option???

Have you checked with a straight edge that a stop end will work

If it won't take a stop bead you could just masking tape the wall , skim as is , then pull tape off and carefully slice off with trowel whilst set and still green
 
Not a fan of stop beads in that situation if the reveal can be exposed to the sun ( OTT lol )

That what I usually do chip edges and feather in can't in this case! I'm just wondering do end beads look OK in this situation
 
I'm not clear on the problem lol


The wall probably isn't flat enough for a stop end to lay on the reveal , unless it's concaved in which case you can feather wall with filler

M8 Il do it my old school way. Take me much longer at least then it going to be rhight. I'll re bead corners and feather the bead in both side on existing wall.

Building corners for float and skim

I'm not a fan of setting render beads , he used to rule off and then scrape back a few mm for a foot for the skim
I prefer to float flat and then use skim beads

Understand that we used to do that.... But this perrticular plaster did not used skim beads he used battens on corners and skim did not understand his method..
