Hi. I'm boxing in some pipes in a toilet, and will use some light plywood - at each side this'll butt against a newly plastered wall. The walls & the plywood will get painted when I'm finished. Because I might want to get at the pipework again I want to screw the plywood sheeting to the battens behind it but haven't come up with a way to make it neat down each edge where it meets the wall (the plasterer did a pretty good job but I still won't get a perfect fit both sides).
Is there anything to fill an internal corner gap and which can be painted over to match in, but won't rip the plaster off if I removed it at some point like some mastics would? Thanks for any inspiration you have!

Hey Randers.

Normally I'd say Caulk; easier to cut with a small knife along the joint, unlike silicone sealant, which takes longer and can pull of paint too.

Good luck.
