Its used for forming arches usually on a running mould a stick fixed at one point which moves around in a circle lol hard to explain
 
If it's not too keen an arch and it's already formed then use a plastic drip bead, these bend round arches nicely when you flip em over, sure i posted this a while back,

there is a external arch bead available. in white and cream the usual supects will probably stock them s.a.s direct buiding/ lord and downing and render plas.
any more help you need give me a shout
 
are these just standard arch beads like the ones yu can pick up from screwfix or are they external arch beads ?
 
back to front bell/drip bead every time or I hear les sells profiles for this

buy a 15 mm drip or if you cant get the bend try a 10mm
