Question - has anyone else had a similar issue and how did you resolve it? Options as I see it are:
1. Remove the boards and make up. Not going to happen as we can't afford to waste the materials, don't have the time etc.
2. Live with wonky walls and make up as best we can around verticals (the doors etc).
3. Use the top-coat plaster to make up - but will the boards cope with the required thickness of plaster hanging off them? Could be an inch or more in some places. The supplier isn't sure, so anecdotal evidence would be much appreciated!

Anyway I have a stone built house with walls that start of 80cm thick and by the time you are at 1st floor level the walls are 60cm. Having renovated this house I would go for your option 2.

What I did was put beading on the door / window framework edge so that it oversailed onto the wall then filled behind the beading at plastering time. Looking face on the wonky-ness is barely noticeable, from the side of course you can see it but with beading and filling painted to match it tends to disappear. I used a decorative beading rather than square PAR timber because this better matched the other woodwork.

If you have an old property that is all out of square IMO it is best (and easier) not to try to make it straight and square like a flat pack construction kit.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17698&Focus=300161#Comment_300161 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17698&Focus=300161#Comment_300161 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 10:13:09 +0000 lngn2 ]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17698&Focus=300164#Comment_300164 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17698&Focus=300164#Comment_300164 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 10:40:25 +0000 Artiglio I have now found someone who specialises in baumit/secil products, they are going to quote for the next section if my enthusiasm is diminished.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17698&Focus=300165#Comment_300165 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17698&Focus=300165#Comment_300165 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 11:10:18 +0000 lngn2 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17698&Focus=300167#Comment_300167 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17698&Focus=300167#Comment_300167 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 11:32:26 +0000 Artiglio
