Filling gaps around the cornicing

[macadonald]

Hi guys,

Okay, the builder fitting my bathroom kindly used a couple of his guys to fit some cornicing yesterday. All looks good apart from a few expected gaps around the edges. Guessing this comes down to walls not being straight or maybe a bit of bad installation.

This means I will have to spend some time this weekend filling and sanding. Question is, should I use standard polyfilla or something else?

Thanks

Decorators caulk would be your best bet.

If the gaps are small then caulk will be fine.
Any larger gaps are best filled with coving adhesive or lightweight filler which won't shrink like caulk does when applied thickly.
