Hi, this is my first post, I'm a little nervous. I'm not a plasterer as such, but I can do small repairs, small areas of skimming etc.
I've been asked to repair the attached window soffit (the picture shows the damaged soffit, the other pic shows one of the existing good ones), I've done some research and believe this is the correct approach;
Clean down RSJ’s to remove flaking material
Coat with red oxide primer
Affix Expamet mesh to underside of RSJ with CPT1
Apply scratch coat and topcoat of cement based render to match existing
How would I get that bevelled finish along the edge?
Any advice on any of this would be appreciated.
Thank you.
