SB2023 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Hi all A plastering question... I didnt really think through everything in time/properly.... We have a shadow gap (flush skirting, 25mm gap using QIC trims and then plasterboard). The walls have been boarded and plastered up to the rough opening but no door linings in yet. I am looking at fitting the door linings and using the QIC trims around the doors to create the shadow gap around the door without architraves. Can I cut back the plaster somehow, fit the trims and re-plaster neatly or is this a really bad idea?? Thanks! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SB2023 Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 I almost re-worded my note. Just to be clear - it will be a professional plasterer doing it. He is away for a few weeks but I want to get on with prep if its feasible... Sounds like it is which is good news! Just not sure then how best to chip some of the plaster away from the plasterboard then. Maybe sliding a small chisel around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe sliding a small chisel around... Multi-tool cutter or Dremel with cutting disc (depending on how fine you want to be able to finesse the gap)? I would have thought a sawing/rotating motion blade would be less likely to cause the plaster to chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SB2023 Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 That could work too. I guess then the plaster can feather in to that from the bead to make the wall seamlessly plastered again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Jones Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 put the linings in now and set trims where they need to go. be easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
