gravelld Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) We've got a load of internal reveals to make good, meaning fill in the wet plaster between where the plaster has been cut and a newly installed window. This is generally about 20mm gap. Do any edge beads exist for wet plaster to keep a nice straight line, avoid cracks between plaster and window, and not have the plaster on the window frame? Ideally I'd then put an acrylic sealant between bead and window. All I can find are edge beads for plasterboard, e.g. https://www.amaroc.co.uk/collections/thin-coat-plaster-beads/products/locusrite-thin-coat-stop-beads-2-4m I think these are added on Could I use https://www.wemico.com/pvc-window-frameseal-beads-dup which is normally for external render?

PeterW Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 You could use a thin coat stop bead 3mm back from the frame and then skim up to that, backfill the gap with decent sealant once you’ve tidied it all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Ha, this is exactly what I recommended on another thread. My plasterer said it was not needed but like @JSHarris we have suffered cracking due to window and wall expansion etc. I did it on my porch and conservatory and no cracking at all. I left a 2mm gap between thin stop bead and window frame and filled with non setting caulk. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't quite picture this - to be clear here's what I have: Does that work with your plan? Is the 20mm gap big enough to fit and fix the stop bead? Do you put a bed of plaster before the thin coat?
