We have just had a Velux window installed
I need to make good where the paper has been torn and plasterboard screw are visible.
Stripping the whole wall (sloping ceiling) is not really what I want to do. The wallpaper is in good nick and I doubt I could fine any more.
The inside of the reveal will be painted and screws holes filled.
In order to cover up the torn paper and plasterboard screws I was thinking about making a 3" wide 1/4" thick frame (architrave?) from MDP painted white. Is this a bad idea?
Making the frame is easy but I imaging the mitred joints will open over time and at only 1/4" thick I cannot see how to strengthen them as there will not be enough room for splines. I think a thicker frame, say 1/2" will be too heavy.
comments and thoughts welcomed.
