Help needed on coving filler

[Paul205]

People,

Yesterday I put up a length of coving. The rest of the coving in the room was installed by the plasterer and I said I would install the last piece (due to an unfinalised cupboard design).

I used the cove adhesive the plasterer supplied which went wrong as it went off far too quick. After wto attempts, I abandoned the cove adhesive he supplied and went for some B&Q instant grab adhesive which bonded the coving to the wall like sh&t to a blanket. I have had good experiences with the B&Q instant grab adhesive so I was happy to use it.

Where the instant grab adhesive squeezed out from under the coving I removed the excess with a knife.

I woke up this morning to find that the instant grab adhesive had cracked in places where it had been used to fill the gap between the cove and the walls. I therefore intend removing any cracked instant grab adhesive.

I would like a suggestion on what material to use to fill the gap between the cove and the wall?

Cheers





Paul

you can use caulk or easyfill or i have seen people mix caulk with easy fill to give it some flex.
ive never personally mixed caulk and easy fill but i have seen it done not sure wat it looks like now though

Caulk in the gaps, wipe the excess away with your finger and give it a run over with a damp sponge using moderate pressure.
