Hello All
Will be attempting plastering this weekend repairing a chimney breast where a surround has been removed (Feeling very brave)
I have read lots of tips here but still have a question:
The fireplace at the moment is an open fire which just has exposed brickwork inside. I want to keep this exposed as I have done in my front room and just plaster the outside. My mate who did the other one used a stop bead for the edges of the opening and the finish was nice and straight. I plan to do the same thing fixing stop beads to all 3 sides. My question is should the beads go on prior to the skim coat or before the render/rough coat? I forget what he did. TIA
Cheers
Richard
