Sharp radius plasterboard

Post by oz0707 »

Could I bend 9mm plasterboard to a sharp curve of around 4" 90 degrees?

I've got a solid former to bend against and fix in the form of a curved corner post. The pieces of board will be approx 12" high. This is for a bulkhead below a ceiling.

I thought I could try a combo of cutting back of board and damping to get the curve?

What is the solution for beading the bottom edge?

It's the obvious solution, Flexiboard is the way to go . . . .

I'm assuming the 'bottom edge' you refer to is a reflex angle!
In that case (or with an angle other than 90, you would use a
'thin skim stop bead'.
