Discussed this the other day mate tbh can't find them anywhere, would 2mm plastic be ok instead?

Thanks for reply, the plastic would, in theory, be ok, but worried about how flexible they would be, in order to keep straight on fixing, there is a trough around a ceiling in a pool area, and if they kink on fixing it would be a right pain in the arse.
Have sourced some Stainless, but they want €14 each for them

Would galvanised be ok if the corner etc were primed with an anti corrosive metal primer prior to decoration???
Any thoughts?

Are you anywhere near Portsmouth /Gosport area as have a job load of them, could do them for £5 each 2.4m?

Good idea , they not for skimming though just joint.
Easyflex pro tape might be an option they very solid when finished and can be skimmed

Stick em , don't fix them , I never nail or screw beads for that reason, I always fix beads with finish plaster

Doesn't master how you fix them, a rigid straight bead will be easier to put on straight than a snake like pvc one.

Juststainless.co.uk might do them if that's any help

Yea ok,

Never seen or heard of them. Have used the floating beads many moons ago for outsides, but now outsides all use pvc beads. Didn't know ss skim beads were a thing?
