Kevin,
Doug has chipped away all the old plaster and it completely took away the inside corner! I know we have to build up with the structo but when we get to the point of finishing, is there something we can use to get a nice clean corner? I have seen those plastic inside out for edges. What do you think?

Make your inside corners in the base.
You can use a small framing square. a piece of wood cut to form the inside corner and yes you can purchase the inside corner tool don't use plastic stainless steel is the best for this.The corner tool will leave a slight rounded corner.

Clarence,
Thanks for the info! The one wall is brick and the joining wall appears to have lathe strips and dryall attached. on this wall and into the corner we have to build up about 1 1/2 of structo to even begin with the base...so are we sliding the wood over the brick and behind the drywall to make the 45 before we apply the structo ? Attaching with hammer drill ?  Really old brick.1870's.
