You buy preformed arch pieces (anywhere which sells plastering
materials) which you plaster over. Make sure you fix them in place
with galvanised screws or nails, of you can get rush patches showing
through decorations after a while in theory.

if anyone has ideas could you please mail me at

Newsgroups don't work that way, sorry.

Hi

Usual method is to get some hardboard, and nail it in place, then
plaster above it/onto it to make your plaster arch. Remove hardboard
and finish off. The hardboard just controls the underside of the arch.
