Skimming obtuse internal corners

[williamglossop]

Is there a knack to skimming obtuse angles between two adjoining walls? Im thinking to roll em with bnding first and just have curves.... but I think her indoors will want straight corners. One option is a stop bead on one of the walls, but they can be just as awkward to get straight. Just wondering if anyone has any tips on doing em.....

Several ways to do it.
I used to tape up with easy fill. Seal.
Then you can either put a laser up and mark. Run masking tape up line.
Skim.
Pull masking. Leave to set.
Then plaster adjoining wall to line.

Other way is to do as above.
Tac wood to line.
Plaster to wood
Remove wood.
Plaster adjoining wall.

Or round off corners if it's not very lined up

If we’re talking purely skimming, I’d just do one side of it, and other side after, so you’re skimming to a dry edge and get it bang on. Keep the edge really clean and wet when you’re doing the second side.

Or, fit a stop bead. You won’t struggle to get it straight, it’s always dead rigid on one plane and the other can just be checked with a level and dubbed out a bit with some skim when you’re fitting it if the wall isn’t dead plumb.

These are pretty common on bay windows etc

Tape the plasterboard joints. Stops the cracks.
Seal.
If you want a straight line with plaster it's better to tape joints before as you are doing it one half at a time.
