Hi all,
been humming and harring for months and months on how to finish this simple job at home, but I feel really uncertain on how to go about it, hence am here seeking some advice.
In our kitchen doorway we used a timber board as the door jamb; we used timber as opposed to plasterboard as the door on the other side is a heavy metal frame and needed a solid support to be fixed.
The timber board is fixed with screws into the bricks and kept in check with packers; there is a minimal give if pressed or pulled.
The intended final finish is plaster all around.
The doubts that left me stumped:
- how can I achieve a smooth plaster finish on a timber board?
- how can I infill the gap between timber board and wall to minimise the risk of plaster cracking?
