further to an earlier post about fitting halogen downlighters to an old lath
& plaster ceiling I have decided to bite the bullet, pull it down &
plasterboard it, have told the missus yet though! I have skimmed before with
rather pleasing results & I have done ceilings. However this one is a lot
higher than the ones I have done before, from stood on a box and probably
larger in area. So I thought I would try to just dry line it but never
attempted this before. Can a satisfactory finish be achieved first time out
the blocks with this job? I will be using P/B laths as will be fitting on my
own and find the sheets to hard to manage. Should I just get a plasterer in
to whiz over the ceiling with a skim coat.
Can I use the fibreglass sticky tape to line the joints or does it have to
be the paper stuff. Also thought I might screw these boards into place as I
have heard other people do, screw recommendations please... thanks for
