Hi All

i am new to platsering and was wondering how plasterers go about plastering around a door frame. The gap between the frame and ceiling is about 80mm. I have bought a midget trowel but i still cant seem to get a good finish. I find it hard to get my trowel in the required gap.

taking off the frame is not an option unfortunatley.

any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

thanks

for gaps like that i tend to have a selection of scrapers and have a small tool and a busk (fibrous tools). good for little bits like that.

Thanks for the reply

How about a credit card or similar...its just the right size.

I use a margin trowel of filling knife. Once again if you get the stuff on nice and quick then you'll be able to smooth it off nicely once it starts to go off.

thanks for the replies

appreciated
