Hopefully daftish question- is there a stop bead for 12.5mm Pb ?
Or what do others use?
I need to "stop" some Pb where it meets some ply access panels in a stud wall.

I try to avoid using lead in any size.
If it's butting up against plywood, why does it need to different to stop bead for other thickness of plasterboard (ie isn't stop bead just generic)?
Yes, standard item at any decent builders merchants

half inch of LEAD...what on earth is that for?
It looks like someone else needs to go to specsavers
I can't see or find the word LEAD in the op.
Neither I nor TNP were referring to the WORD "lead" but to the symbolic reference.
You do.... it says 'Pb'.
Eh?? It says this: 'bead for 12.5mm Pb' To me Pb means Plasterboard, so how or where does it mean LEAD??
If it does, then please correct me.
Pb means lead in the same way that Au stands for gold, Ag silver, Si silicone and Ti titanium: those are the chemical symbols for those respective elements.

Latin, innit. Plumbum. Hence plumber.
Are they all bums? :-)

PlumBum. =3D Latin for lead Pb is the chemical symbol. He was being witty. Went right over your head.
Plumbum Aurium Stannum Ferrum Argentum Cuprum
Use a bit of quarter round beading. Or even square or hockey stick section.
An acronym should be all capitals ie PB not Pb.
Pb is the chemical symbol for the element lead.
Some one wasn't paying attention in English or Chemistry lessons...
Are thes access panels going to be flush and "hidden" or have an architrave around them?
With an architrave the framing for the hole in which the ply panels fit would stop the PB. Think door frames, architraves and stop beads etc.
Aaah right, chemical symbols, Well I do stand corrected then if that is what is meant by Pb.
Too many acronyms going around and well.....
