Hi All
I have recently had my living room reskimmed and decided to remove the archetraves and skirtings before hand and replace with new after skimming. The plasterer finished the job today but the due to the uneveness of the existing plaster the new skim overhangs the edges of the frames by up to 4 or even 5mm in some places, what would be the best plan of action to enable me to fit fairly flush archetraves that are not being pushed out by the plaster behind them, the width of the new archetrave I chose is approx. 8cm (3in) and is the rounded (bullnosed?) egde to one side and straight edged the other side.
A BIG thank you in advance for any feedback on this query.
