Preferred method for new plasterboard

[Lsc93]

For a stud wall I'm building, abutting a finished plastered wall, would the best method be to fill screws/joints etc then go over with emulsion then a coat or 2 of paint? Or would it be best to plaster the new wall, use angle beads/stop beads etc?

I haven't plastered before so don't really want to spend so much time trying to perfect something that takes a while to master.

Also, where the new wall will meet the finished wall, would I need to take off some of the plaster from finished wall so that I can scrim tape the joint then fill to get a clean edge that won't crack?

My thought is to plasterboard, tape edges/joints with paper tape & aluminium corner tape, fill joints and screw holes, emulsion, paint.
Is that a good way of going about it?

Thanks for your insights

Each to their own on this, but assuming that you've made a solid job of the stud wall, my advice would be to get a good plasterer in to skim it. They will scrim the joints and use bonding where necessary.
Plaster gives you a far more durable finish!

Professional skim is the best option.

I have used your suggested option to patch in a bricked up door and other jobs.
Paper tape and powdered easifill. Pretty much invisible join.
Also have a look at fibafuse tape. Self adhesive mesh tape for jointing.
Aluminium corner tape works well.

Cost me about £30 for stainless pan, 6inch and 10inch knives. Stanley and Ox.

Easifill joints will need a good primer like Zinsser 123 or will require multi coats of emulsion.
