Corner bead in plaster showing through paint

[bezzas]

Hi All,

Our house has just been built, plaster has been set for about 6 months now and has the standard magnolia paint on it.

Around the windows where metal corner beads have been used to form the proper corner of the wall have been plastered over and and all looks fine with the magnolia paint.

As soon as we paint with a light blue for example the pattern of the metal bead shows through the paint. Not the actual bead its self just like a lighter showow sort of effect.

Any ideas how to stop this?

Thanks

Andy

Easiest way is to run a bit of oil based undercoat along the edge of the bead, let it dry and repaint with emulsion. Dont be tempted to put to much on.

Its a common reaction with the galvanising...do as above, it normally works.
