Rendering a curved wall

[adapt]

Hi guys I have a curved wall the rub up and just wondering do you have any tips on floating it as there is an internal curve and an external curve too ?

All depends how accurate it needs to be. You can plumb and dot it, then cut a board into the curve you need or you can just rule off with a rule but only vertically. When applying you need to put it on horizontally only.

Sorry its an external wall and it needs to be floated, its scratched and beaded up I just wondered is there any tips to rubbing up a curve as I am worried about the float digging in ?

The external curve is easy ,the internal a bit harder ,with all curved walls make your ruling spot on ,take your time with that ,the rest is easy ,best of luck with it

Narrow float may help depending on how tight the radius is

Cheers guys I bought a narrow float a few weeks back so I will use that on the tricky bits.

I sort of thought the ruling will be the main thing needed to get it right.

Too use to flat walls but i like a challenge, lets hope i have some hair left after it lol

Rub it up at the right time

sleep with your arm wrapped around a piss pot for a couple of nights so that you can get the swing of the curve.
