I have look at the diy projcet but fee i need a little more advice as iv look on screwfix and the only stop bead i have found is 12mm surely this is too big for skimming

could anyone advise me more on this subject please

The project, Plastering, top coat stop beads shows you what to use. It may not necessarily be available from Screwfix but any builders merchants will supply you with top coat stop beads.
