Making good progress with my partition wall however something I didnt
take account of was how to joint the new plasterboard to the artexed

The rest of the joints I am ok with.
I think I now have the naswer `flattape` as close to the ceiling edge
as possible.


Ask for"scrim". A loose weave, stick on tape. It is applied over the
joints before skimming the boards with plaster. It prevents cracks
from appearing on the joints later

It's supposed to *help* prevent cracks appearing in the plaster later.

Usually by making them appear somewhere else and/or then pulling the
plasterboard off the shrinking studwork :-)


Better is to use decorators caulk on internal edges
