Hi, hope someone can help. I plan on dot and dabbing plaster board onto my chimney breast (back to brick at moment) and would like to plaster part of the chimney but leave the brick archway and surrounding area exposed. Would the best way to do this be to use an edge bead so the transition from plaster to brickwork is neat and tidy? Thanks in advance for any help.
Edge beading?

Hello
Once you have dabbed ,you will have returns of about an inch.
Use ordinary skim beads for the two uprights and 3mm skim stop
bead for the arch.

I think you may have to plaster the reveal, either with a 3 mm stop bed on the main face, or using a thin coat angle bead (that you may have to trim some of the wing off)
If you can get the board sitting on the surface without any gap <(or a very small one)behind it, then the edge bead in your link would be right.

Hello,
As you are dabbing ,your reveals could be greater than an inch.
To get it to like look right ,the board on the face of the wall has to be
plumb. The brick-work could be any shape ,plumb , falling back , falling
forward .
So unless the brick-work is perfect you will have reveals to plaster.
Use skim beads for the two uprights. (thin coat) , page 4 ref 553 ,554
For the arch, if it is shallow use a skim stop (thin coat) page 4 ref 560 , 561
If the arch has a small radius use , page 5 ref pfb 001 plastic bead.

Most builders merchants stock these .Just check that the skim-stop
bends to your requirements. The plastic one bends to any shape but are
harder to use.
