I fitted a ceiling. There's a varying gap along all the edges, with little behind it.

How best to get a nice clean corner?

bonding plaster - mixed thick and rammed in*, then board finish over.

* depending on maximum width. If it needs packing then use some plasterboard strips.

Ta. Jeez will it ever end?

Would go with coving but it's amodern kitchen (albeit in a 1920's flat) so I think it would look a bit odd. Also a bugger to bring home from B&Q in the hairdryer.

As an ex plasterer, bonding, push it up,just as it is about to set, scrape it even,then the filler of your choice,sanded smooth.Tape will always leave an edge.
