Hi all, I am an experienced diyer, but have never tackled a stud wall or plasterboard etc, hence I have a few questions.
Firstly what sort of plasterboard is used on a standard internal stud wall that is to be skimmed square edged or tapered? and if tapered, where the new stud wall abutts an existing wall does the tapered edge abutt this internal corner? If this existing wall is already plastered and painted, then is this internal corner taped and then jointing compound applied to both faces and just feathered into the existing surface with the following skim coat finished neatly into the corner?
Sorry if they sound like obvious questions, but all the available media I have found on building a stud wall seems to fail to mention these points. Thanks
Jay
