plastering a sloping ceiling

[mattyp]

Hi guys im going to plaster my bathroom ceiling which has a sloping ceiling. Ive scraped the artex back and uni-bonded it all over. I am going to do it in two sections.
I need some guidance as whether I need to place a stop bead right along the joint where the two boards originally meet? Or can I mask up one side?
any advice please guys? :huh:

Can do, ime doing one tomorrow I cut a curved profile out of a bit of waste plastic facia, bond it run it with the profile then crack on.

cooooom it all day long!

 

[mattyp]

what do u mean by cooom it?

 

[Olican]

As Lucius described, Build out the splay then scim the sloping ceiling and flat ceiling as one with a curve in the join

heres a pic of what I mean by the slope in the ceiling. im not trying to achieve a curve just what a straight line where the two boards meet.

nah mate just an image I pinched from google to explain what I meant lol

Do it all by trowel and curve the joint as you go, trying to make a straight joint, even with a stop bead will look worse than a curve

Put a string-line across it and if it's reasonably flat crack on. If it ain't then bond it out first :RpS_thumbup:

ok thanks lads appreciate your help :RpS_biggrin:

its only 5-6 hawfuls. its smaller than u think. if u wanna make a straight line itll look crap but id still do it in one

 

[grump]

Take Pat butchers advice. It will look crap if u try keep it straight

if you wanna keep it straight i would do each part at different times and run a float through the bit where they will meet before you start troweling up
