@Fibrehand7 I have a nice job tomorrow installing some b and q duropolymer coving:


B&Q Online - Error 404: Page not found

i will get some photos of the process involved. its a rectangular room with four walls, 3.2m X 2.2m. i mentioned to the householder that he might consider the ready-made mitres, and he has agreed that they will be there. two questions, what time scale am i looking at, and how would i attach them to the wall and ceiling. thanks
 
3 or 4 days should do it.
Fix with double sided sticky tape, or if money no object, Hollywood clients then use hubba bubba.
 
you can use honey, apply liberally and leave to dry. dont bother with nailes or screws and for the joints just fill with decorators caulk....
 
thanks lads. i will get some coving adhesive from toolstation for £1.50. was going to a nice littel job but just got this message :RpS_cursing:

"hi - bit cheekky of me i know - but weve had some new skirting boards put on and its knocked the plaster off the wall a bit - so could you possibly skim that bit again. stupid of us to do that afterwards"

you're telling me :RpS_cursing: you know half the F*****g wall will be on the floor

and those dykes have got back to me as well ffs :RpS_mad:

i feckin had to in the end. the ceiling was all over the show. i'm covered in feckin adhesive ffs. look like a window fitter. what a feckin nightmare. the joiner had taken the old skirts off and fit new half pencil round back to the original scratch ffs felt like crying it was going to be an afternoon off for me. the woman said her husband would BACS the dosh later :RpS_unsure: should have turned up on my horse today. if theres any problem with it i will refer them to fibrehand7
