Hi, I’m about to give up on putting some coving up but thought I’d see if there are any pearls of wisdom before I stop.
I have bought some polyurethane coving from Screwfix and the adhesive they recommend. I’ve watched a million and one videos to get an idea of what to do.
I’ve got my head around the mitres etc and measuring my corners as the room isn’t perfectly square.
My issue is the slightly uneven ceiling. I’ve found the lowest point and drawn my wall line from there. The issue is that when offered to this line on the wall, there are gaps between the top of the coving and the ceiling, I’d say up to about 10mm in parts. How do I go about fixing the coving when most of the top of it isn’t touching the ceiling so nothing to adhere to? Adhesive along the bottom edge isn’t going to be enough to hold.
It’s a brick/plaster wall if that makes any difference so no studs.
It’s driving me crazy as it would look really nice (far better than me cutting in along the wavy ceiling which I am now dreading as it will look awful.
