skimming over quite a sharp curve, was just wondering what the best ways to approach it normally I use flex trowel and a bit of plastic to run up it? If anyone else does them differently please let me know, hoping for a nifty little idea that I've not seen done before, thankyou please
 
Bit of plastic I mean just a bit of membrane or similar and wrapping around the curve and running it up over the skim
 
Its all in the angle of your stroke . when you bring the trowel onto the curve in a horizontal movement try and bring it up on the diagonal reducing the angle of blade .work your way down like this. Hope that makes sense, if not just use a bit of plastic.:confused:

Can you put that on a voice mail in a husky voice
 
To be honest I like doing these corners and they look good when finished but I always like to coat them out with easifill and sand them to make it that much better :-( That makes me a bad person I know :-(

It's some sort of science or it could be some form of magic or witchcraft or maybe its the positive particle vibrations , I do know they work a lot better then they look like there going to.
I normally hide it in the bottom of my tool box to stop the other trades laughing at me :oops:.

Some might say they work a bit to well.
Paint that ya filthy animals :frenetico:

That looks like a 3/4" (ish) radius corner correct? Most of our corners are bullnose and I run external corner tools on them. I have a few different radius ones and they do great.

For 3/4 I use this.

If you need something different you could give this a try. It has a lot of options.

That's ideal isn't it, it would be handy to have a collection of those trowels for when the need arises, the little hand held thing would be useful aswell
 
I agree with @beader it's how you angle and glide your trowel around the bullnose or curve. I love doing them but i love anything with curves. Especially milfs oooooooo I love a curvy milf me !!! Right cold shower time but not with those two blokes in the other pic licking grouting ffs :rolleyes:
