JB,
Another question for you. I'm getting pretty good at this plastering, I have just completed knocking down a dividing wall, installing a beam and then re plastering a 26' x 14' room for my sister in law ( well its a big room for me)
The only place where i now seem to be struggling is the internal corners. I know to plaster facing walls, then the other 2 so the plaster has time to dry but i always seem to get a lot of "snots" in the internals it seems to harden quite quickly and if i try to flatten and smooth, it drags and makes an even bigger mess.
I went to my local tool shop and spotted an internal corner trowel. Are these for finishing or the render coat ? In addition, are they any good or is it another case of practice makes perfect?
Cheers JB
Mick
