Hi…Grab a cuppa, it’s a bit of a long one..
I’m trying to fit a new dado rail. The straight walls are fine, cutting corners etc all fine but I have a 90° curve in one wall, not an angle… the walls are 90° to each other but with a nice curve between the walls… should be able to see in the picture.
My initial thought was to steam the dado rail enabling it to bend but obvs can’t do that with MDF rail and pine just won’t bend that far without snapping. So I have made a silicone mould of the rail, in the hope that I can fill it with filler or something similar, bend it around the curve and hope that I can make it stick to the wall…
Is this possible or am I wasting my time?
I wanted one smooth piece rather than small cuts and filling the gaps….
Many thanks and sorry for the long post..
