skim plastering over a edge of wood

[gmansw7]

Hi - I have to fill a redundant doorway with plasterboard. The door frame edge of less than 1 inch is flush to surrounding plasterboard.

Is it possible to skim plaster over a narrow wood border edge?

Why's the door frame still in

Lol its possible to skim over anything but more than likely it will crack.

Rip it out stud it board it & skim it, or if you ave to go over it, Coat of bonding over timber then paper tape then more bonding over tape then skim :RpS_thumbup:

scrim over it, couple of nails in it then skim over but tbh nisus way sounds better:RpS_thumbsup:

Remove lining as previous,will always crack eventually.studwork then board,skim entire wall either side.do a proper job.dont forget scrim tape.

Thanks - ripped it all out and put studs and plasterboard in. Which is the better skim plaster? Thistle 1 coat or a base and finishing plaster on top? I read some comments that thistle is gritty and wickes have a better product.??

You can do it with Thistle 1 coat, but you won't like it mate. Bonding and multi or just mult/board if it's a tight coat.
