plaster stop beads

[pompeylloyd]

i read on another site similar to this, that you could use stop beads to divide a large area into more workable areas, for the amateur plasterer

can anyone shine some light on this please?

You can use stop beads to divide, rooms in to more workable spaces.
Generally used on plasterboards prior to laying on your finish,
So if you have a large area, you can nail the bead on (or fix with plaster/wall adhesive) to the walls in a grid like fashion and trowel up them areas.

turn the bead back to front and skim up to it then you can remove it and carry on skimming, also you can leave them left in like the wall here it was divided up into 4 managable sections each side with the beads left in, each section was 3-4 bags x8 some where between 24- 32 bags i cant remember exactly

very helpfull! specialy the tip on turning them and removing them! thanks. the face of the metal stop bead i will be plastering to and then removing, will i need to prep the metal surface to ensure the skim doesnt stick to it?

no , also another way to break big sections down is to run some scrim along the wall or ceiling (at the point you would have put the bead) then skim up to and just over the scrim then pull the scrim off creating a nice line to start your next section
