awkward angles

[S a plastering]

got a room to cove soon with 135mm s type cornice some of the internal angles are not 90deg what's the best way of finding the angle for these or will they scribe in OK being a diff angle

 

[raggles]

They will scribe ok

 

[S a plastering]

think one of em is diving out towards 130deg or summat like that

 

[raggles]

Use a bevel and a protractor to find the angle if ya that worried and then scribe it from there just make sure when you scribe it that you cut well back on the rear face for clearance.

You can try use one of these to find the angles and cut the coving

Offer a piece up and draw a pencil line on the wall and ceiling lines , where they intersect ,that's your cut , hard to explain but I know what I mean

bisect the angle you mean

do you think one of these are ok

 

[raggles]

View attachment 14898 do you think one of these are ok

That's more like it

You don't need protractors, magic mitres or any of that s**t. Bisect the angle. Job done.

Too much fannying around. Would've done it before he put his apron on.
