    Not a technical reply, and I don't know what Rondo 303 cieling batterns are, but I used the metal type batterns, and my plasterer told me to start in about 200mm from the wall.

    I leave 50mm between wall and batten.200mm is way too far and the sheet will be floating in the breeze,unless you are putting up a large cornice with a 200 mm projection.

    Alternatively use plasters angle, Rondo P50 I think, to support the edges.

    P50 is a shadowline,and won't support the plaster.

    Sorry Tools, P18 is the correct Rondo Number

    its only 0.3mm BMT so pretty limited but good for supporting corners and very cheap also.
