I have a double winder staircase leading to my new attic conversion. I want to plaster the underside but it's a very complex shape which seems to defy plasterboard. Any suggestions as to a method to case it out ready for two coat skim?
Sounds like an
'Elephant's Ar$e"

totally agree with the method, but just shows how many jobs can be approached from either end, as I have always called it an "elephants head".
can i be so bold to suggest riven lath (chestnut is great) it folows curves far nicer than eml, lasts longer and doesnt shread your bloody fingures cutting it with snips. plus the slump through the gaps in the lath form a much stronger acnhor that the feeble nibs formed between the eml.

Have a good weekend
