Hi,
I've got a big hole in a plasterboard ceiling. I've cut it out square, and have new board to go in the gap. I'm wondering about the edges, though. I'd like to tape them to reduce the risk of cracks, but the existing ceiling is skimmed with plaster, so I'll have to remove a strip of plaster from the surface of the existing ceiling around the hole, otherwise there'll be a bulge where the join is.
Any thoughts on how to achieve this - i.e. remove the plaster? Or is there a better way to do it?
Help appreciated.
Richard.
