Hi, had some help from a few of you already and starting to get the knack of plastering (touch wood) but one thing I didn't really think about too much was what to do around woodwork like door frames.
Do you usually leave a gap to prevent cracks around things like door linings?
I have a done a few walls already where I rendered with bonding coat right up flush to the door lining and skimmed up to it almost using the frame as a stop bead.
Noticed a hairline crack around one of the frame coming from the top corner up the wall.
Am I a total nob or is this par for the course?!
Thinking if I should have left a gap I will use a sonic tool to cut a really thin control joint between the frame and the plaster as it goes through like butter or am I worrying about nothing?
Cheers!
