Paper plaster or plaster

[ottosump]

Hi group, I've just replaced the plaster board above a window reveal, its approx 1m x 800, not much I know. But what I want to know is, do I have to plaster it, my plastering skills are abysmal, can I not just paper directly onto the board. And if I can't what would be the most forgiving plaster to use. Cheers group, Otto in West Cumbria

Is the external angle , wood , plaster ?
If it is plaster , does it have a bead on it ?

Hi Clive, external angle is plaster on top of a metal bead, I've applied some multi finish, forgot to take photo but it looks OK ( well for my standards) will take photo and update. Thanks
