whats the best way to go about making one of these? i was going to set 1/4'' stop beads around the room and round it in with hardwall then skim it ???
Thats the way I've done repairs on em but your gonna have a tw*t of a job gettin the corners right.kirk johnstone said:whats the best way to go about making one of these? i was going to set 1/4'' stop beads around the room and round it in with hardwall then skim it ???

Well your forming them from scratch and all four have to be perfect. No shakey lines. If you find it a bugger doin curved ceilings were one wall meets the other (corners) then wait till yer forming them from sctatch.kirk johnstone said:PhilPlaster said:Thats the way I've done repairs on em but your gonna have a tw*t of a job gettin the corners right.kirk johnstone said:whats the best way to go about making one of these? i was going to set 1/4'' stop beads around the room and round it in with hardwall then skim it ???

no mate its a living room that i am going to skim and its just square at the mo but the woman wants a bigger cove than the stuff you get from the local builders yard, might even make it 7 or 8 inch. what do you mean about the corners mate?

PhilPlaster said:Yeh but i've only repaired short coving as long as its smooth. If its been anything over a certain length then Id buy a length.
As for patterned cornice f*ck that mate.

What about two strips of plasterboard on top of each other staggered and then normal coving on top giving you two extra segments.
