Hi All - I have boarded out my garage ceiling with fire-lined plasterboard, and boxed off the sewer downflow pipe (also now boarded with plasterboard).
A plasterer friend said I could tape the seams, put easyfill on them, and then paint (i.e., not skimming the whole thing). It does not need to be pretty, just presentable.
So two questions:
- How do I prep the firelined board for easyfill? Do I put a coat of PVA on?
- I have put metal corner beads on the boxing. Should I cover these beads with easyfill? Or will this not work and I should just leave the corner beads showing?
cheers
