This weekend I put up some plaster coving in my hall and landing, all went really smoothly until I came to the last wall.
The problem is the wall is 'warped' so there is a gap under the coving - this gets progressively larger towards the centre of the coving strip (the max gap is about 15mm!).
To get around this I placed some packing behind the wall side of the cove.
It looks fine when looked straight on but if you look underneath the coving you can see it sits further away from the wall - the gap has been filled with adhesive.
Now I had an idea, shall I replace that piece of cove with polystryene cove? My thinking is the polystryene cove will be flexible and I will be able to pin it to the wall following the warped contour, wait until the adhesive dries and then remove the pins.
I really need some advice urgently as the adhesive on the plaster cove is still drying and i'm still able to pull it off if I decide to replace it that piece with polystryene.
Any help would be great fellas
