@HatBeard
was drifting off to sleep last night when a little voice popped into my head for a chat...
"you did put the jointing tape on before you filled the tapered joins in the dining and living rooms last week, didn't you. the ceilings are all nicely filled now so that would be a pretty shit thing to have forgotten to do."
"yeah of course i did, I'm not an idiot"
cue long sleepless night worrying about it
today looking at ceiling... "I'm a fucking idiot".
now hoping my desperation approach of sanding a groove in the plaster with a handheld sanding block just deep enought to let me seat the fibreglass tape, then a layer of plaster to fill in the squares of the tape and flatten it followed by a final layer to cover it will give me half as good a finish as I had before and do at least something to stop it cracking if it does shift about a bit
and I was so pleased about how well it went. ffs.
