Good evening everybody.
I tried to fit some coving today in my kitchen. I had some polystyrene coving from B&Q so it would be handy to put it up, right? Wrong. As I was missing the original packaging I was short some information; the distancing from the walls and ceiling, which of the two sides was the ceiling side and which was the wall? I watched the video on YT and decided it looked straight forward but in no way shape or form could I get the internal corners to join. Never got as far as external. The joints were a country mile out, not even close to meeting. I used the mitre box as they did in the video but failed miserably. I'm a competent DIY'er, cut a hole in a partition wall, supported the studs, built a door frame and hung a door but this had me crying!!!! PLEASE HELP!
