    Default curved corners

    me again

    looked at a job today , customer wants 250/200 brickbond to stop a third of the way up the window with mosaic border, neigh bother there but the window reveal is curved when it meets the main wall.
    no chance of boarding and seen some people just fill the gap with grout and trim it,but it dont look tidy, any ideas please.

    Yuk! Sounds like its going to hit the eye when you walk in the room.

    Other than getting it replastered / skimmed then perhaps runnning the trim bead is the best way to soften the look with a gap behind.

    If it were my room I'd have a plasterer come back and fill in the '"bow" behind the trimline. Goodluck!

    Use some rapid set adhesive to "square" the curve up. If you put to much on you can always sand or scrape it square...hope that makes sense.
    Just make sure the rapid set has a good bond with plaster and dont forget to prime 1st
