In need of some expert advice please.

I am in the process of installing a wood burning stove and I have completed the building side of the job. I have come up against a problem that no doubt to a plasterer will be a piece of cake to sort.
I have lined the inglenook with British Gypsum 6mm Fireline board, mainly to give a good finish before tiling. The problem is how do I finish the outer edge of the alcove where the fireboard meets the fire side? As you can see from the photo I have the standard Anglebead and Dry line angle, but for the life of me I cannot see how I can use either of these. I have looked at dryline edge but I dont think it is suitable either. Image

Thanks Big-All
:salute:

Doing the installation myself, I have studied and better studied the regs, everything is honky dory in that sense, plus my mate is coming around to do all the stove/flue checks, that is if I can bribe him with enough beer.

It's just a plastering question I am asking about

gypsum boards will NOT withstand temps over 49 degrees, it seems what you have read is wrong itll be the same with plastering the area you cannot do it with multi finish.
best thing take off the boards youve put up then sand cement lime mix scratch coat then float coat, try not to use any beads around the alcove as they tend to expand under heat exposure, then really you wanna do the alcove and the bottom half of the fireplace with victas plaster, this is a specialist plaster designed to withstand the heat
